Especially in acedemic life where we buy something like Electic Motor or Engineering Drawing Drafter for only 1 semester and keep it life long just to gather dust. Why not Sell or Rent such items to other needy college students at relatively less price so that both of you can profit. Cobbet aims to achieve this helping enviroment among students by helping them sell/rent their items.
