Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a system and method to sell, purchase and rent, particularly to a system and method for selling, purchasing, and renting books.
Description of Related Art
[002] A book is a medium for recording information in a form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. Books have traveled a long way from being published on the paper to being readily available in an electronic form.
[003] But still, people who are indulged in reading love to collect the books which creates a shortage of space after a given time. Apart from this, these books are never read again in the future and remain like an asset on shelves of a user. These books when sold don't give any benefit to the user if we compare an actual buying cost to a selling cost.
[004] There is thus a need for a system and method for managing the cluttered books in one’s shelve and in return give some monetary benefits to an owner.
