Why Open University Books Sell Well
OU materials are always in demand
170,000+ Students
The OU is the UK's largest university. There's always someone starting your course who needs your books.
Materials Don't Change Often
OU course materials are updated less frequently than traditional textbooks, so last year's books work fine.
Easy to Post
OU students are spread across the UK, so posting is normal. Agree on postage in your listing.

Make your OU materials sell faster
Include the course code
Always mention the module code (e.g., A111, TM111) in your title. OU students search by code.
Bundle related materials
If you have all the materials for a module, list them together at a bundle price.
Note the presentation year
Mention when you studied the course. Materials from recent presentations are most in demand.
Offer to post
OU students are nationwide. Offering to post (at buyer's cost) expands your buyer pool massively.
