If a book originally came with a dust jacket, CD or DVD it must accompany the book when shipped to us. Computer manuals and language courses originally issued with a CD will not be accepted without the CD. All CD’s and DVD’s must be in working condition.

Ex-library books are accepted but must be in reasonable condition.

Excessive writing, underlining, and/or highlighting or ‘reminder’ marks on page edges may also result in a reduction of the quoted price or the book being rejected.

A small amount of writing, underlining or highlighting of pages is usually okay, as long as it is on fewer than 20% of the book’s pages.

Discs must not be cracked, dented, have deep scratches or other damage. Light surface scratches are usually acceptable providing it does not impact on the discs ability to play. We require that all the original packaging, artwork, booklets and instructions are present and these should not be defaced or damaged. Cases may have light surface scratches but shall be complete and unbroken.
