Buyback Sucks!
Went to the bookstore to sell back about half of my books from this quarter. Had no problem with it last quarter, so I figured that everything would go swimmingly this quarter. I drop my six books on the counter and they proceed to scan them. The cashier puts one back up on the counter and says that they are not buying it back. Proceeds through the rest of the stack, makes a comment to another cashier that this book is brand new for this quarter. Places it up on the counter. Gets to the last book, says that they don’t buy back workbooks. So, I get $4 for three books that I turned in, all of which I bought brand new at the beginning of the quarter. I still have one more book from Social Science to turn in, but considering that I paid $138 for all of the books in that class and I only got back less than $4 so far and had one rejected, I have a long way to go to recoup even a small amount of the money that I spent on them. I hope that my hardback textbooks actually net my some money, otherwise I will have wasted a lot of money this quarter. At least there is still eBay. Maybe someone there will actually pay me for them.
