I used Valorebooks to sell back a couple of textbooks recently. My entire order was rejected. One books for supposedly being an international edition and one for being an instructors edition. I bought both of these at my college bookstore, I don't understand or believe that they are those editions, especially the instructors edition. The isbns I inputed straight from the books that gave me a price quote came out fine. I know for a fact that I didnt have the instructors edition, as I used the book for my class and it absolutely didn't have an answers in it. It's extremely shady to offer small amounts for books, find some false reasons to reject and then force the consumer to pay 5 dollars shipping each book to receive the rejected books. I know now to make the effort to sell back books in person do I cannot get scammed out of books they will most likely take and resell. I'm frustrated and feeling cheated. Do not use Valorebooks, make the effort and sell back books in person, on Barnes and Noble, or Amazon, even if it's less money.

They followed up to my email requesting proof by sending me pictures of the front books that were not mine and the backs of the books that were mine, I knew from the slight damage that mine had that these books did not match. There's the option to return the books, but I'm not giving them more money to send me books that weren't mine. Like I said as well, I purchased them from my college in person, they would not sell me the wrong books or the instructors edition. Valore Books is fully a scam, beware,

Do not try out Ultimate Guitars free trial or sign up for the subscription unless you plan to pay for it for a long time or are willing to go through a lot of hassle to cancel. I made the mistake of signing up for a free trial to help with one song I was having trouble with (where I found out the "pro" tabs for the song were just rhythm tabs anyway).

Ultimate Guitar tried charging my card 2 days before the end of the free trial, which was declined because I didn't have enough on the credit card used for it (a tactic I use for subscriptions). It's extremely difficult to cancel your subscription, you have to remember the exact way you signed up to cancel. Mine was apparently through Google play to where I had to go to a specific Google play site to cancel, and I don't even know if its actually cancelled. I now have to monitor my card to make sure they don't try to keep charging, and if they do, deal with more hassle and filing fraud reports.

Do Not Use UG's Subscription, use anything else and better sites that are free like UG used to be.
