Restocking lost books
January 23, 2024

THe service was good, and the book quality is good. I was able to replace a couple books I loaned out and never recovered.
I now have complete collections again. I will be able to re-read these series from the beginnings.

Complete Buyer
January 23, 2024

Since I found this company that buys books, they have been more than fair. Instead of rejecting books, that aren't perfect they adjust. As a seller, we do not want the book to be rejected or returned. Would recommend this company has a very excellent source.

It's okay
January 16, 2024

The process is pretty easy. The whole thing takes about 3 weeks. Usually they requote me a bit less than the original quote. Only once I definitely did not agree at all with what they decided they would pay me for a brand new book. You can refute and have them send you the book back, but idk if you have to pay for the return shipping or not. I'd say they are on par with all the other buy back companies, nothing special.
