Has anyone used this online service? My son got a surprisingly good quote for his trig & pre-calc textbooks from this company. They generate a prepaid shipping label and say they will send a check to him same day they receive the books.
Is this legitimate?

this is a great site to buy books directly from other students on your campus...cuts the bookstore and its high resell prices out of the picture

Do you mean www.booksintocash.com?

I have had incredibly good luck with them. They are legitimate and cut you a check as soon as they receive the books. Have probably sold to them a half-dozen times or more.

I teach at the college level. My experience with them involves selling clean, brand new desk copies. I should have explained that.

Some books are more in demand than others. I'll sometimes get $25 for a book that sells for $100; sometimes only as little as $8. I figure something is better than nothing if a book isn't going to be put to use. They also refuse to take books, sometimes, if they have too many of them or a new edition is about to come out, for example. I donate those books to the "Books for Africa" project.

Yes, it IS www.booksintocash.com! I had the wrong name. I appreciate the many responses as I was just concerned whether this was a scam or not. Sounds like the real thing. And thanks for the info on Books for Africa.
