The Best Way to Sell Textbooks, Gadgets and Hostel Stuff at ABUAD

A student playbook for selling used items at Afe Babalola University quickly, safely, and at a fair price using a campus marketplace.

By Gali Team · 14 August 2026

ABUAD students accumulate a lot: course packs, calculators, kettles, mini-fridges, and phones. Selling them well puts cash back in your pocket.

Price like a student

Buyers are students too. List at about 50 to 70 percent of what you paid, depending on condition. New-looking gadgets fetch more.

Photos beat paragraphs

Bright, clear photos from your hostel desk beat a long description. Show flaws honestly; it builds trust and avoids disputes.

List where students actually look

A campus-only marketplace means your buyer is nearby and can meet at the faculty or hostel plaza. That is faster and safer than posting to a national group.

Take the money safely

Use escrow so you are never left waiting on a transfer that "is processing." On Gali, payment locks when the buyer commits and releases when you meet.
