Joy at Home Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I alway hate buying used from other boards, but since no one here has CW Homer to sell, lol, I'm buying from homeschoolclassified and hoping it's legit. Experiences? Tx Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Wizards Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I've bought and sold a number of things there and haven't had a problem so far. I've gotten some really good deals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeyNewt Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have had only good experiences there with e-mailing and buying/selling my used curriculum. Use your normal procedures for buying used online, ask questions about the product and say specifically the condition you won't accept (example on PaperBackSwap I see people request from non-smoking homes and hardbacks without covers). If it doesn't feel right or the person does something to cause you a little discomfort, be patient and wait for another listing :c). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanvan Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have had mostly good experiences, but not too long ago I had a scare. The seller dragged her feet and sent several excuses for why she hadn't sent the items yet. She also took a long time answering e mails. I'm not sure if her excuses were true, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt at the time. When I went back to try to find her list of items so I could check feedback, her list was gone and I could find no trace of her on the site. I was certainly relieved when the package finally showed up--though a couple of the items were misrepresented and i would not have paid the price she was asking had I known.

mom2jjka Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I had one bad experience there. I bought some hardcover books, and when they arrived they reeked of cat pee and the pages were 'glued' together with a crystallized yellow substance. I contacted the seller who said, "Oops, sorry. My cat must have another bladder infection." She did refund my money though. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenJewel Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I've purchased several things through HSC with no issues. I do double-check on any issues that are really important to me even if the ad says "New." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracyR Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I had a bad experience there. The lady was selling the 5/4 Saxon book and answer key. I had gotten the answer key but the book was NOT in the package. There was a tiny hole in the corner of the package but there was NO way the book fell out. I contacted the seller and she made up tons of excuses. I even emailed her pictures of the package and how it wasn't even big enough to fit the book in it and got bunches of excuses. She said she would replace the book, and never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delighted3 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have had good experiences with HSC. My only frustration is that I've emailed people about a product they have for sale and it takes forever to hear from them. I only buy from people who have prompt, open communication.

Katiebug_1976 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I've been buying & selling on Homeschoolclassifieds for 5+ years and I think it is great! I can only think of one kind of negative experience I had, but 1 in 5 years isn't bad in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
