Instructify

Need to stretch your supplies budget a little farther? Or should I say, “further”? Lucky for me, I can find the answer by picking up a cheap copy of a language arts textbook at Hoot of Loot, an online classified ads section for educators. Teachers can buy and sell books, blackboards, furniture, and other schoolhouse miscellany. If you’d like to pick up some extra cash by selling supplies you’re no longer using, Hoot of Loot is good for that, too.

Hoot of Loot seems pretty new, as there isn’t a huge selection as of yet. Most of the items for sale are from Tulsa, the company’s home city. That information suggests that Hoot of Loot has added a lot of these resources themselves. New businesses often have great introductory prices, so what you lack in choice you may be able to make up in savings.

Time will tell if Hoot of Loot is a viable alternative to eBay or Craigslist, but if you give a hoot about saving money, it’s at least worth a look. -BILL FERRIS
