Textbook buybacks, beware!
I went online to sell a pile of recent textbooks.
Chegg.com offered the most money for the books, so I did their internet free-shipping deal. They didn't want all of my books, TextbooksRUS took three of them, I could have sent them all of them but they offered less.
I immediately got about $47 from TextbooksRUS.
I got emails from Chegg rejecting ALL my books, which were in decent shape, claiming they didn't meet their standards. I got NOTHING, rather than the $150 I was expecting.
The deal on these is, they pay the shipping if you agree they can donate books that don't meet their standards. I think these books met their standards, one of them at least should have, all were decent shape. No way to tell if they dump them or resell them anyway, they were current and expensive books...
It is easier to resell online than lugging heavy college books back to bookstores where they may or may not take them.in our case these were books from 3 colleges, and often college stores don't take back books from other colleges.
It just seems that Chegg should have sent me SOME money for my books... Beware
