No More Markup!

About your safety:

Don't worry- this isn't Facebook. I designed NoMoreMarkup.com with safety and privacy in mind. Here are a few of the ways you will be protected:

• Anonymity: Someone interested in buying your book will not have access to your name or email address until you choose to disclose that information.
• Exclusivity: This site (for now) is exclusive to Butler. Nobody can get an account without a Butler email account. Even if I expand to more schools, only Butler attendees will be able to contact you through NoMoreMarkup.
• My overall loving and caring nature: I will not ever disclose any of your information to a third party.

Now, with these safety devices in place, please understand that I will not accept any responsibility for any harm that comes to you or your possessions through the use of this service. NoMoreMarkup.com hooks you up with other students, but how you interact with them is your responsibility. Please report any harm to the campus police.

Tips for an even safer experience:

Since I genuinely do care about your safety, here is a list of things to consider to make the extraordinarily unlikely event of such harm even more extraordinarily unlikely.

• Location: Don't meet someone you don't know in a dorm room or apartment! Meet your buyer or seller somewhere public, like the campus Starbucks.
• Timing: Consider when your location will be having lots of traffic and when it will be having little. The woods by Holcomb Gardens at 2:00 AM is a bad choice.
• Payment: Be cautious of taking checks, and of course, don't attempt a credit card transaction!
• Delivery: One of the biggest advantages to NoMoreMarkup.com is that you can meet with your seller upfront and do a simple exchange. Don't let anyone try to pay later. Request the book or money up front.
• Bargaining: While I would not try to disallow bargaining on a price, I suggest trying to decide on a price before the transaction, over email. Don’t let anybody pressure you into buying at a price you disagree with.

I hope this list is complete, but if anyone can think of any other useful pointers, please let me know!
