People often turn to ebay to look for used textbooks, and a large number of those shoppers these days are homeschooling families. Indeed, it doesn't take much time shopping for teaching materials to discover that new textbook sets are very expensive. For homeschoolers, families need more than just the student books, they need the teacher editions as well.
Ebay used to be the place to shop to find bargains on all the books that homeschoolers need. Families were anxious to sell their used textbook sets to other homeschooling families in order to make money to buy their own sets of books for the following year or grade level. About this time last year, though, ebay began a policy of disallowing all teacher editions of textbooks to be listed and sold. While this makes sense when you think of college textbooks, it seems ebay totally missed the point when they expanded the no-teacher-editions policy to include books needed by homeschoolers - as if those first and second graders were going to buy up the books with the answers so they could cheat on their weekly spelling tests!
So, what's a homeschool teacher to do? Enter This Little Piggy Stays Home, the online auction site created specifically for homeschooling families. This Little Piggy Stays Home is a new site, developed as a result of ebay's policy change, offering a comprehensive selection of ABeka, Bob Jones, Christian Liberty, Apologia, Saxon, Sonlight, and so much more! There are no listing fees on TLPSH, photos are free, and the final value fees are reasonable.
So if you're a homeschooler looking to buy or sell textbooks or other educational materials - including teacher editions - take a look at This Little Piggy Stays Home. I recommend it.
