Our Mission
One of the most common problems facing students is that of purchasing numerous, expensive textbooks, with the average price being around £50. Thus as the majority of students are on strict budgets, Spark aims to provide a platform for second, third, even fourth year students to sell their old textbooks to first years in turn benefitting both parties (buyer or seller) as older students will make some money as well as younger students saving some money.
