I initially thought this was going to let me sell my textbooks and have beer delivered to my door. Sadly, it looks like it just calculates the beer value of your books (unless I am missing something here).

#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
We're working on the Firefox issues. Sorry about that. Thanks for the feedback though. We don't actually sell beer, but rather give you a quote of how much beer you could buy if you sold your book.
Same problem in Chrome 10.0 on OSX...

#25As an avid Keystone Light drinker, I'm disappointed that you show it in a bottle! I have never seen Keystone Light in a bottle, only cans (and kegs).

#27The expanding images on rollover is awful usability, the site idea is clever. Does anyone have an example number I can use to see how it works? I don't have any text books and don't know what to search for on Amazon.
We meant to post a Show HN. We'll work on the usability. We built this out of a startup weekend. Not exactly a startup yet, but we had a lot of fun. Thanks for the feedback.

#30this is awesome! My calc book is worth two kegs of heineken
I have a feeling that fraternities will become the biggest buyers of used calc text books.
Also the older groups have good backings (alumni, club owners/promoters, student fundraisers)... definitely no need to cut corners like that for delayed cheques.
Student Clubs' Stores (http://www.havenbooks.ca/) are more likely to buy used text books.
