Do you buy Instructor Editions?

Yes we do. However, to insure you receive the correct payment, be sure and enter the instructor edition ISBN and not the student ISBN. The Instructor Edition ISBN should be on the copyright page inside the book and labeled as such

Do you buy International Editions?

If you send an International Edition instead of the U.S. edition we will evaluate the value of it upon receipt and inform you of the payment, if any, you will receive for it. If we determine the book to have no value it will not be returned to you.

What about CD-ROM's and other Supplements that came with the book?

If your book indicates that it comes with a CD-ROM, DVD, cassette, workbook, or some other supplement, do your best to insure those supplements ship with the book. If you do not have the supplement(s) your quoted price could be up to 30% less. We cannot return any books to you. If you have any concerns about this prior to shipping, e-mail us at info@textbookwheel.com.

Does condition matter?

Yes it does. A book must be in good or better condition. This means no water damage, no missing or torn pages, no loose bindings and the cover intact. The book can contain some writing or highlighting, but if excessive that could affect the price paid. If a book is received in a condition deemed unacceptable, the price will be adjusted accordingly and in some cases no payment will be made at all. We cannot return any books to you.
