//BookBazaar - A book buy + sell portal for students
What?
BookBazaar is a portal which allows students to buy and sell books over the Internet - with zero commission charged. The site allows users to review and rate books as well as rate members. It also has a knowledge base pertaining to the various subjects and the recommended books and links to additional resources.
Why?
A lot of students either buy / sell books to the shopkeeper who charges his own hefty commission on the deal or they have to hunt for seniors who are willing to sell. There is a lack of choice as well as it costs a lot, these were the prime motivations behind BookBazaar - a zero commission web portal for buy and sell of books.
How?
The portal uses the J2EE technology (JSPs, Servlets and MySQL) to deliver a stable platform, the front end was carefully designed after rigorous usability tests. JavaScript was used for sleek front end features.
And..
The initiative gave me a great insight into the world of business and the various factors affecting trade.
