I took 50 hardback books that were in perfect condition, most unread to this store. 3/4 were former best sellers which I know they get a lot of and the others were high dollar art, photography, misc. The Buy Guy's FAQ from their website made it sound so easy. I had to load them on a cart and take them inside myself.
They called me up front after supposedly reviewing them. They told me they do not usually get books in such good condition and offered me $8.00 for them. I was completely shocked and said there are 50 books here. That averages 16 cents per book. I told them it was obscene and would not take the offer.
It was not worth my time, gas or effort to do this. I'm sure many people just give in and take the lower than low ball bid in order to not have to put them back in the car, but I refused to give them to them basically free!
I do have to say that he boxed them back up and loaded them in my car for me. And was very nice about the whole situation (probably embarrassed). But if this is company policy it really sucks.
Don't waste your time.
