naturalmom Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I didn't read all the posts in the "selling used curriculum" threads, but the general idea seemed to be that it wasn't worth it. I'm really sorry for those of you who've gotten burned, but I just wanted to add another perspective (and I'm sorry if it was already dealt with in those threads): Can I just say that I have just been so blessed to receive something I bought used? I wasn't expecting it until today or tomorrow. This morning my kids were releasing a bug to the outdoors, and found the package on my doorstep. Completely soaked from last night's rain. I fully expected to be using a water damaged set of books...so I cut the package open, to find that the books were wrapped in ziploc bags and were in perfect condition (Thank you, Lori D.!) I am SO appreciative of the fact that she was willing to sell, and that she took such care in packaging. I've bought things from others in the past, and always had good experiences, so to all of you sellers: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate CA Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have had very positive experiences both buying and selling. I appreciate you all! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susann Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 After years and years of sell/buying, I don't think that I've ever had a bad experience. I'm also very thankful to be able to buy/sell my curriculum. It has been such a blessing through the tight years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I recently emailed a lady from whom I bought something quite a while ago that was very cheap and extremely fantastic, to thank her. I've benefitted a lot from used stuff, and I hope my small payment helped out the seller. So count me in to the grateful group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtsmamtj Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I am very grateful for those honest sellers. Due to no raises for years and recent pay cut to keep his job I buy most of what I do need used. I feel really bad for those who have been burned. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would be getting a couple envelopes and ended up getting a huge box filled with highly organized envelopes for each year and unit. It was such a delight. Even if we only use it as a reading guide, it will be well worth our having. (Leading discussions isn't something I need a ton of help with.) I love buying (and selling) used curriculum. But I have found that in person sales and sales within groups I know work best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
