  • ThriftBooks

8/14/20

So far so good. I've ordered over 25 books from thriftbooks.
Pros:
Customer service has been very good
Got some great deals on some great books
Overall happy with the condition ratings

Cons:
Pricing - some books are priced WAY above what they retail for or sell on Ebay, not sure who sets the pricing but some books really make you scratch your head
Shipping - Slowww shipping. If you're on the East Coast expect some slowww shipping, quickest I've received a book is a week, most are 2 weeks and some even longer - don't expect Amazon Prime delivery.

A lot of the bad reviews on here are obviously privileged morons - the company isn't GradeANewBooks.com, it's a thrift store company, my god. Disinfect your books and move on with your lives. Overall, in my opinion, you get what you paid for and then some in most cases. Have had a few duds and 2 wrong items but overall very happy and it upsets me that people bring down this THRIFT store company with overly dramatic bad reviews.

I've watched and bid on this site for weeks. Sure you see others winning some items at what you would consider a great deal but try it, you won't win. They definitely use bots to bid. I lost most auctions by $1. You'll never get a great on this site and will only win auctions when they make money. Trust me you can get these items cheaper elsewhere. Don't believe me? Well go ahead and win something, go get it appraised or try to resell, then you'll see.

Ok so after reading the reviews on here and checking out the site I decided to give it a try for fun. I saw the reviews where it stated you win a bunch in the beginning then nothing. I started out buying the forced to buy $60 bid pack. Right away I won a $15 gift card and a $10 gift card, sweet! The next day I won another $15 gift card. Two days later I ripped right through my bids. I saw a $25 gift card go for $5.60, That's a $336-$25 profit for quibids, I can't imagine how much money they make. Anyway, I bought another 75 bids and couldn't win anything if my life depended on it. I can see how people get addicted to this site. I would stay away at all costs and am very surprised they get away with this scam.
