Condition of Texts

I was a bit confused once I got email response after company looked my books over . There was a decrease in $ , which was not a lot nor a huge deal, due to "shelf wear" on one and " binder" on another. Neither has never been opened. Wondered if this is common for all texts they receive?

Hello Shaun,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our services! I'm sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your transaction with our company. We grade textbooks in the condition they are received in. We were able to review your textbooks. Unfortunately, they did not meet the new condition requirements.

If you would like to discuss this matter, please give me a call.

Not totally user friendly

New system is difficult to use. Display is confusing. Search by author ? Title? Opaque. Tried to change my address and kept getting "unverifiable."
