Student-run online bookstore allows peer-to-peer exchange - Melissa Solarz, Michigan Daily

In a time typically highlighted by complaints that it takes too much time and too much money, students purchasing books this semester have a new alternative to perennial favorite stores. Cordx.com, a website run by students for students, promises to make book-buying smooth and simple this semester. LSA sophomore Brett Baudinet said he saw the website, owned by his father Brian Baudinet, as an opportunity to assist students. "Being a Michigan student myself, I too am getting stung by the massive cost of schoolbooks at the University," he said. "The site allows students to sell and buy their books directly with other students."
