Evaluating Your Book's Condition
Your book must be in resalable condition in order for us to accept it. Below is our condition grading criteria but if you want to see some real examples, read our blog post, Bookbyte's Definition of a Damaged Textbook
Resalable
(Like New, Good Used, and Acceptable conditions) books with minor to no signs of wear and tear. This can include staining, discoloration, writing, highlighting, markings, tears, and other general damage from use. All pages must be included and all text legible. Bookbyte pays the same amount for used and unused books in Like New–Acceptable condition.
You will receive the quoted amount.
Non-resalable
Books that have excessive writing, highlighting, or other markings on over 75% of the pages; cover damage greater than a 2"x2" section; numerous torn pages; excessive odor; mold; obscured text or illegible text; or severe staining covering more than a 1/3 of the page and spanning more than 1/3 of the book; missing pages or stuck-together pages; or books that are deemed inauthentic or a replica.
Non-resalable books will be recycled and no payment will be sent.
Okay, got it!
