Howdy Kirupians,
About to start up a site for a used textbook exchange - just for the university I’m going to for now.
Was trying to think up some derogatory names for textbooks to use, but couldn’t really get anything.
TextChange is already taken - couple other possibilities included “PulpSwap” or “SpineDump”.
Why not your schools domain + something
[whisper]I don’t think “derogatory” is the word you were looking for but I’ve been told many times that my english skills are horrible so I’m probably wrong[/whisper]

Lollerz.
how about something like… SCHOOLNAMEtextbooks.com
If you want it to grow one day you can always start a new site based off of it with a new name…
Yeah I was thinking of going ufv.sitename.ca, then I can branch off into something like ubc.sitename.ca eventually - but was thinking more of a brand - does pulpSwap make you think of books?
^Thats pretty decent and catchy, if you don’t get any other suggestions that might just work.

Textbooktrader is by far the most intuitive of the ones in this thread.
That’s why it’s at the top of the list

Do not, for the love of text books, name it pulp-swap! All you’ll get is bunch of those sites linking to you…
Rabell has a site like this. He’s going to kill you right in the face when he catches wind of the competition.
http://www.weswapbooks.com/uk/
But he’s only “trying hard to be the UK’s #1 book swapping web community”.
I’m just in a tiny town in British Columbia, Canada.
