# Price a Textbook Three Ways: Buy, Rent, or Buy and Sell It Back — Free

Enter the new price, the access code, what you can sell it back for and the rental fee, and the label shows what the book actually costs for the semester — which is usually not the number on the shelf.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Anyone seeking practical 100% free AI workflows — no paid API keys, credit cards, or subscriptions

## What's free

- Unlimited labels, all three routes priced on the same basis
- Copy the finished label or the state link to send to a coursemate
- Starter, access-code and second-hand records included

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- Printable price label — one page for the module's cost plan or the student-budget conversation — estimate: ~15 minutes saved per textbook decision made in a queue at the shop
- Saved module history — keep the previous three labels in this browser so a year's book spend can be added up — estimate: ~20 minutes saved per semester of hunting through receipts
- Used-copy column on the paid copy — add the used price and the buy-back for each option and print all four routes — estimate: ~10 minutes saved per search through the second-hand groups
