Description
They claim to buy your books. However once they have the books they can reject them for any reason without paying you. They state books are immediately recycled and no pictures are taken to show damage they claim to be the reason the books are rejected. Sent a brand new never used book with access code and dust cover intact and they rejected it because over “excessive overall damage.” The other book in the package which was the cheaper one however had no damage and was accepted. Looking online this seems to be a common thing this company does.
