When Murphy was busy earning his undergraduate degree at Wright State University, he started his business by buying and trading textbooks online. Murphy's business, Murfbooks, became so successful that 33-year-old Murphy, who received his bachelor’s degree and started his master’s program, is still two credits shy of his graduate degree and doubts he’ll ever finish.
“I was broke and textbooks cost so much, but the bookstore didn’t give us much for the used ones, so I started selling mine online, then bought them from classmates to sell, then in bulk, and it grew into this business,” Murphy told DDN.
The One Dollar Book Swap is open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on the first and third Fridays and Saturdays of each month and noon-5 p.m. on the first and third Sunday of each month.
