Buying used homeschool curriculum

by Summer Minor

Used books for saleMy local homeschool group is hosting a bookfair next week and many families selling their old curriculum packages. For the family without a lot of money to spend, or the one just trying not to spend too much, buying used curriculum can be the way to go. You can easily find everything you are looking for at half the cost you would spend new.

Most people know about Ebay for buying used curriculum, but did you know there are many other places online you can shop as well? You can search within your local homeschool group and those around you. Check out your local craigslist and see what others have up to offer there. Or you can check out these sites that are just for curriculum. Happy curriculum shopping!

    a word of caution. my sister-in-law got a used curriculum at a great deal. it just so happened i use the exact same curriculum, and upon comparing them we discovered she was missing some important pages in the teacher’s manual and the workbooks. luckly, we were able to copy from mine what she was missing.
    just be sure to reasearch what you are buying on the original manufacturer’s website and ask the seller plenty of questions.

    Thank you for the list. I try to buy second hand as much as possible, it really does cut down on the cost. I have bought from vegsource.com/homeschool , and sold things there too. I was happy with both experiences, but I would advise anyone looking to do business there to check the references offered for all users.
    Another place I have found some good deals is ebay.com.

    Another place we tried was the local bookstore…the used one that is. We traded in the things that we no longer used and got lots of neat things.
