Better than nothing
July 28, 2024

I scanned a book and was quoted $14 buy back then told I would icky be offered $3 because it was a Teacher's edition. This should have been apparent with the scan. It costs too much to return

Easy as pie
July 24, 2024

Needed to sell back a Chemistry book. Didn't make a fortune or even 10% of what I paid for it, but now I don't have to lug it around and someone else can use it. Such an easy process...if you're not in it for the money and value reusing things, this is a great service for you.

Basic Theology by Charles Ryrie

Purchased the book as rated in very good condition. However it was shipped in a strong plastic bag with no protection. Received the book with all four corners smashed.
