I typed out an ISBN and it was accepted… I typed out an ISBN and it was accepted through the system so I sent it over, but now I'm getting an email claiming they cannot buy certain editions even though it was originally accepted by the website. So, I have to pay to get my book back or they will "recycle" it. Sounds like they recycle a lot of books without any proof that they're doing just that instead of turning around and selling it. Will not use them again. I can sell my books elsewhere with more reliable companies.

Theyll steal your books and say theyre… Theyll steal your books and say theyre severely damaged then hold them hostage for a $4 shipping charge. Dont sell here, youll just lose your stuff or your money. Reply from Textbook Manic (AKA Textbook Crooks): "Maybe it was damaged in transit." The book was packed in a sturdy box with bubble wrap and sent off in good condition. Yet somehow it arrived with "severe damage with staining and water wrinkling." Either TM needs to find themselves a better shipper that won't leave packages out in the rain or they are crooks who stole my book, got out of paying me $50, & got to re-sell the book for a hefty markup. Burn your old textbooks before you let these people steal yours for a profit.

Great Company To Do Business With I've used this company for buybacks for over a year and have nothing but praise for the integrity of their service. This is one of the few buyback companies will still pay you a generous portion of their quoted price if the book does not completely meet all their condition requirement. (Other companies will discard the book for one violation.) They are easy to deal with and pay promptly. I've sent dozens of buybacks to them and never experienced any difficulty with them. A very competent and trustworthy company!

I don't recommend selling to them I don't recommend selling to them. The shipping label they send is for Media Mail, which is notoriously unreliable. They quoted me an unbelievably high payout, so I picked them over other options. Well, Media Mail made it all the way to Huntsville AL, which is where Textbook Maniac is located and then... stopped updating tracking. I'm pretty sure the package was delivered without being scanned, but Textbook Maniac told me they never got it. I emailed them several times and got contradictory responses.

SCAM! Stay away! The company is a scam. BEWARE! I sent my textbooks to this company on 5/10/2018 and have not received any payment (today is 6/7/2018). I have emailed the customer service three times now, each time they respond saying that my order is "processing." At this point, I do not expect to realistically receive any payment. It's disgusting to me that this company has created a business based on taking advantage of students.
