	May 2012	I have dealt with them and have been pleased with the results. Thanks CKY.
	May 2012	They have been great to deal with. A+ in my grade book
	Apr 2012	I've shipped probably a dozen shipments to CKY books over the past year and never had a problem. Always paid in a timely manner.
	Mar 2012	Bad experience: very long wait for my money and then they didnt pay for everything. I would never use them again under any circumstance.
	Mar 2012	My experience with CKY Books was so-so. They don't pay much but they buy many books no one else does. As I chose to be paid by check I expected it would take longer than being paid via PayPal, but after several weeks I had to write to them to ask where my check was. At this point, they did process the payment within a few days and I received the check a week after my inquiry.
	Jan 2012	CKYbooks didn't offer me the highest price for my book, but they were top 3. I went with them because they had the highest reviews and they would ship back your books instead of shred them like I've heard other companies do. I'm glad I went with them. I got every penny of what I was promised, they even paid the fee to put into my paypal account. Also my shipment didn't go perfectly, it wasn't marked as received when it came in but a simple email and the problem was resolved and I was paid the same day I let them know about the problem. I understand things can go wrong, what's important to me is how the situation is resolved and CKY lived up to my every expectation. I was hesitant about selling books online, but I'd be happy to work with them again.
	Dec 2011	I sent shipments of books to 3 different sites with delivery confirmation to all. I have received payment from the other 2 sites, CKY still hasn't changed the status on my shipment even though it was confirmed received. I wouldn't use this site ever again.
	Nov 2011	Sometimes on the slow side but never a problem. I have used them about 8 times now and every quote has been paid original amount. Will use them in the future.
	Nov 2011	Lost my order again, terrible customer service with no one to answer the phone. Their excuse was quote "Unfortunately, with the large volume of orders that we receive, a package bound for us is lost or delayed in transit about once every two weeks by the USPS" This is terrible customer service-
	Sep 2011	Good company, good prices and excellent customer support as always. Never a disappointment and no BS ever. I would recommend them highly, you won't be sorry. I have used them many times.
	Sep 2011	I'm one of the Dec 2010 reviewers, and always liked CKY Books. But these past 2 months, they owe me a check and have been unresponsive. I'm leaving this notice to see if anyone else is having the same problem. CKY Books Response: I am sorry you have not had a resolution to your issue. I can assure we are dedicated to prompt customer communication. The only reasons I can think of that you might not have gotten a response is that we are not receiving your messages for some reason. Please feel free to email me directly at todd@ckybooks.com
	Aug 2011	I sold books to three vendors and CKY Books took 10 days to tell me that they have received my shipment, even though FedEx tracking indicated that it was delivered two days after I dropped the package off. Took them another day to tell me that they have to reduce payment on one of the books. I am still waiting for them to show me the money. Painfully slow turnaround, especially when compared to another vendor who paid me the same day my shipment was delivered. Not selling to CKY Books again!
	Aug 2011	My second experience with CKY Books was better than the first, with prompt payment of originally quoted prices (except for one minor and justified deduction). I received my check in the mail exactly 3 weeks after shipping my books. Their prices were not the highest, but were in the high-mid range of Bookscouter quotes. Having dealt with them before, I trusted them over sellers offering higher prices, and was not disappointed.
	Aug 2011	Timely service, updates, and payment. I have used them many times without ever having a single problem. I have asked questions about quantity and other things and always heard back right away. Todd in customer service is always helpful and prompt. Try it you will not be disappointed. Thanx.
	May 2011	They paid the exact amount quoted and I felt they had professional customer service. However, the processing time was a lot slower than the other places I sold books to
	May 2011	I have been using CKY for about 2 years and love them. They are a family business that treats everyone like family. Extremely quick responses to emails and very curteous and accomodating. The turn-around time is anywhere from 1-2 weeks for checks. They now use Fed Ex which speeds things up. During extremely busy times, they are still curteous and take the time to answer each email in a timely manner. Their prices are higher on most books and lower on some, but overall they pay some of the best prices. I have not had any problems with getting the full amount except once when a CD was not with the book. So, I give them top marks and would confidently recommend them to anyone.
	Mar 2011	Took over a month to process my order; invented damage to my highest-priced book (was missing dust cover), although they did pay half of what was promised. OK but not as great as their rating on this site seems to warrant.
	Mar 2011	I sent books to about 5 places and cky was the fastest i am still waitting for a check from all the others. Pleased with cky
	Mar 2011	Sent them 5 books. The whole thing took a little longer than a few other places, but not unreasonably so. The cheapest book was discounted 70 cents for water damage, which I don't think was there, but I'm honestly not sure and they did pay most of the value quoted (even for the damaged book).
	Mar 2011	This company was ok. They paid in full for all the books, the same as I was quoted originally. Took about 2 weeks from mailing to receive money in paypal. Compared to a week turnaround with two other companies, CKY books lagged a bit behind in processing time. Otherwise my transaction was fine.
	Mar 2011	Prices weren't spectacular, payment wasn't particularly fast but I didn't feel it was too slow either.
	Mar 2011	Sent books to CKY, and others. The rest of the buyers paid like they said, for what they offered. I sent CKY books (56.50 worth) and got a check for 3.50. So much for using them ever again.
	Feb 2011	I've used CKY books for two sellback orders in 2011. Paid in full both times. Media mail shipments can take awhile to arrive (at least, they're free!), but CKY itself had rapid turnover. The company has great customer service. Website is easy to navigate, even for a novice to online sales. They accept a wide range of titles and their prices seem reasonable. I would use them again.
	Feb 2011	FAST and clear communication! Very good.
	Jan 2011	sent 2 books it took a long time to process and they reduced the amount paid to almost nothing, claiming damage to books.
	Jan 2011	GREAT customer service. Had a slight issue with my order being processed(they were experiencing much greater volume than ever before) so I contacted them. They responded within 3 hours and had my problem fixed and was paid within a few days. To date, this is the best company I have used and would recommend them to ANYONE interested in selling books.
	Jan 2011	About a month ago I began selling used books back online using bookscouter.com. As a brand new seller I had no idea what to expect or what buyback companies where the best to use, so I decided to try many of the companies out simultaneously to see what type of free shipping they'd offer me,and how quickly my books would then be recieved and processed. I sent books to FIVE companies on the same day.....and, CKY BOOKS was not only the FIRST to recieve my books, process them, and deposit money into my paypal account - But they have consistently been the FIRST EVERY TIME SINCE!!! In two seperate cases, I recieved a paypal deposit from CKY BOOKS a full 10 days before another company, on books mailed out on the EXACTLY SAME DAY!!! Not only that, but CKY consistently offers more money for my books, sometimes $.10 more and often times $8+ more. Even on the books they bid less than other companies on, I find myself choosing to sell to them, because I know they are HONEST, QUICK, and RELIABLE!!! I wish all online companies opperated with the ethics CKY Books does!
	Jan 2011	Great service! Offered much more money for my books than my school. Quick and easy process!
	Jan 2011	i sold a textbook worth 34.40 bucks to CKY and received the check within about two weeks. considering that this contains the time to delivery the book, to receive the check as well as it was around the new year holidays, this is a pretty fast process. by the way, very nice service from their account manager:) will use this vendor again.
	Jan 2011	CKY is a great buyback site! I am a teacher, and I'm selling off my book collection as I am getting ready to retire after 35 years of teaching. They offer great prices, and I have sent in MANY shipments of books, and have not had one single problem with ANY of them. That record speaks for itself! I HIGHLY recommend this site!
	Jan 2011	Excellent work and very professional..greatly appreciated
	Jan 2011	CKY offered the best price to buyback my book, and the transaction went very smoothly. They were great about sending emails regarding the status of the buyback and processed my payment very quickly. I would definitely use CKY again.
	Dec 2010	Best price I could find for the books I needed to sell. Free shipping, speedy deposit to my Paypal account--what easier way to sell back some old books? Thank you!
	Dec 2010	I had a great experience dealing with CKY Books. It was easy to ship the book that I wanted to sell and I liked the fact that I received e-mails when they received my book and when I was getting my money. I will sell my books threw them again and let other people know about CKY Books.
	Dec 2010	I've been using CKY Books for 1-2 years and send books monthly. That's how good they are. Their great email guy, Todd, makes me feel CKY is more involved in the buyback process than Powells (which I also use).
	Dec 2010	Fast, Accurate dollar quote, Very Happy
	Dec 2010	Customer oriented site and delivers as promised. Timely processing and accurate grading.
	Dec 2010	Very quick payment, great communication at all steps in the process. I will sell textbooks to this company again!
	Dec 2010	I have been doing business with cky for about a year and a half now and they have always sent my FULL payments within a timely manner. Will keep doing business with them as they are 1 of only a handful of booksites I have found to be on the up and up.
	Dec 2010	The sale of my books was completely smooth. The time from entering my books to cash in my Paypal account was about 4 days total. I highly recommend them, and I would use them again without any hesitation.
	Dec 2010	I buy and sell used books for college all the time, and CKY Books has consistently offered the best and lowest used book prices on the net! And when I'm done with the books, I've found that CKY offers more money than most of the major retailers, including Amazon.com, BetterWorld, Powells, etc. Hands down. I just got another check in the mail yesterday, after sending in to CKY my books just a couple of weeks ago. Their turn around time is super fast payout & my experience with them has been 5+++++ Stars. Highly recommended!
	Dec 2010	Love this company, they are quick and eazy to work with.
	Dec 2010	I have been selling books to CKY for 2 years now. I have never had a problem with this company. Excellent communication, good prices and they pay quickly.
	Dec 2010	This was one of the easiest processes and my payment was processed quickly and efficiently. I would definitely use again.
	Dec 2010	This is honestly a great company. They pay for shipping and pay you top dollar for your books. As a college student their sell back program leaves me a good amount of money each semester for spending! THANKS CKY!
	Dec 2010	A hassle-free book buyback service, easy-to-use and quick payment. I highly recommend CKY to everyone.
	Dec 2010	I have been selling books to CKY now for about 3 months. They provide an "easy to use" web site and payments have always been received in a timely manner. Thanks CKY! A+++++
	Dec 2010	Twice gave me lower payments than offered for brand new books - communication afterwards was spotty. Be careful!
	Dec 2010	I was skeptical about selling my books to CKY, but every order I have sent has been paid fully and have had no problems with them. They are a very reputable business!
	Dec 2010	They offered 95.28 and they LOWERED it to 88.95 when my books were good!
	Dec 2010	CKY is great, I have used them several times and always receive the full quoted offer. I will definitely use them again!
	Nov 2010	I have been pleased with all of my transactions with CKY. There is good communication, (if needed) quick confirmation,check-in, and speedy payment. Take it from me, Paperboyrh,"Try it, You'll like it!"
	Nov 2010	I did not receive the amount quoted. In addition, I have tried to contact them to no avail for an explanation.
	Nov 2010	Fast Excellent payer..i use them all the time!!
	Nov 2010	One of the best customer-service experiences I've encountered recently from a company. There was a problem with my buyback (I messed up part of the order) but Todd was right on top of things to work out an agreeable solution and resolve the situation. Prompt, friendly responses to my emails, not just a form email response like other companies. Five stars to the CKY books team for going above and beyond!
	Nov 2010	I have used them a few times, but only as a fallback when other sites had poor offers. They have for the second time claimed I submitted an 'Incorrect Title / ISBN' (and hence justify not paying the money they promised) which I quite certainly have not done. They also have some of the strictest policies about condition, submission, etc, so under no circumstances do I recommend using them before most other companies.
	Oct 2010	Very fast transaction. Very smooth and pleasant experience. Recommended.
	Oct 2010	Service was quick and my check arrived quickly. I sent 2 boxes of book. One box I received the full payment as quoted. The other box I was told that one of the books had a torn page so I received no money for it and it was a more expensive book. Unless it was damaged in shipment that book was fine when I boxed it up. Also an audio collection I was told was incomplete so I received no money for it. I thought was all there, but I could have been wrong with the audio collection. Overall, they were very prompt. I will probably use them again.
	Oct 2010	This company was a little slower than others, it took ten days for the payment to hit my Pay Pal account, but I still give them a 5 star because they had very good communication and they paid exactly what they said they would pay.
	Oct 2010	I love my experience with CKY Books. It has been very positive and easy. I once made an error on my data, and contacted the company on a payment. They had it corrected the same day and the payment was issued immediately. Good customer service can be rare, but I am very pleased with my interaction with this company.
	Oct 2010	Prompt Payment, also was very pleased with the customer service, exactly as described online. I have used many other Buyback companies and this one was the quickest. They also answered any questions that I had on their well written website.
	Oct 2010	Awesome buyback site! I was paid exactly what I was quoted, and they accepted the majority of books I wanted to sell. Their customer service is great, too - I had a question recently about another book I want to sell that is missing the CD, and a rep contacted me personally, looked into it, and gave me a quote without it. He even went as far as to direct me to another buyer that might pay more for the book without CD!! Impressed with that integrity!
	Oct 2010	I found this website to be a great place to sell my textbooks. The steps to sell your books online are very easy to follow. They also do a great job of getting your books processed. Lastly, they pay you faster than other websites that I have used in the past. I will continue to use this website to sell my books in the future.
	Oct 2010	very easy to use!!
	Oct 2010	Began selling books May 2009; CKY was 1 of the first vendors tried. I've shipped 154 book orders since then. 39 of those shipped to CKY, with only 1 problem in all-the result of a computer error-which was handled efficiently. My shipments and PayPal payments process quickly; customer service has been very good, their price quotes are usually highly competitive and their overall processing has been very consistent. Two downsides: CKY doesn't buy a lot of books, and every so often if I'm not fast enough, their website clears my order before I'm finished. I've cautiously tried a dozen vendors over the last 18 months, about half of which I use regularly as my shipments have increased to over 30 per month. Doing bulk sales this way, you have to be able to trust who you're dealing with. For now, when several vendors are offering the same quote, CKY is the one generally favored-so far they've proven to make every transaction simple and easy.
	Oct 2010	I was skeptical about selling my books at CKY because in the past when selling my books to other book companies, it has taken so long to get paid. CKY books notified me very soon after I mailed them my book that my money is in Paypal. I was very pleased about how quickly CKY put my money into my Paypal account.
	Oct 2010	No problems ...
	Oct 2010	Hi, I've been a customer for over year now and prior to my most recent experience I've never had a problem. My most recent was the worse thus far, they only gave me credit for 1 book out of 6 I sent and they were all sent in the same large envelope.I will never use again, its sad so just becareful what you send them.
	Oct 2010	Excellent company! My book was purchased for a great price. The payment was speedy. I will most certainly use them over and over again!
	Sep 2010	This was a completely hassle free buyback from this company. Price quoted was the price received and e-mails from CKY kept me informed at all times in the process what was happening. Will most certainly use again for my next buyback transaction!
	Sep 2010	Fast service; sold books online and received payment on time as quoted.
	Sep 2010	CKY Books is the only site I will used to sell books. I have used other sites, and CKY, BY FAR, provides the quickest turn around time, highest dollar amount for my books, and the most user-friendly process. I was amazed at how quick and easy it was to sell my books, and the rate at which they paid me was lightening fast. I highly recommend CKY Books and will definitely be a loyal customer of theirs for years to come.
	Sep 2010	Hey can i get the $50...that is why i am leaving feedback.
	Sep 2010	I sent them a book on 8/28. As of 9/25, I still have had no word of receipt or payment. When I contacted them, the response was simply "We are at the mercy of the USPS." This excuse does not hold water with me---I have mailed thousands of things through the US Mail, and nothing has ever gotten lost before. This particular book would probably have sold on Amazon for over twice what CKY was offering, but I went for the quick sale. Big mistake. I would think twice before sending your book to CKY.
	Sep 2010	i got the highest price for my book and super fast payment service.....way better than the last company that i sold a textbook to...i will continue to come back to cky
	Aug 2010	CKY Books is great! The book condition guide is very helpful. It's very user friendly and helps me decide if my used books will be accepted before I go to the trouble of shipping. Five stars!
	Aug 2010	This site was extremely helpful! It gave me the highest prices for my books, and even paid for the shipping! It was easy to use, and sent me my money very fast. I highly recommend selling your books back to this company!
	Aug 2010	I had a great experience dealing with CKY Books. They had sent me email to confirm the receiving of my books. They sent out emails when they issue payments and I got my check in the mail less than 2 weeks after I sent out my used books. I would sell my books to them again in the future!
	Aug 2010	This was a great company to sell my textbooks to. They gave me the highest offer compared to other companies. They were reliable and very convenient.
	Aug 2010	Payment was quick. Service was quick. No issues.
	Aug 2010	CKY Books was fast, easy, and efficient. They sent my payment in a timely manner and I stongly recommend using them because they are a reliable company.
	Aug 2010	Excellent Service. I sold one of my books to CYK and in the same week I received my paypal payment. I would use this site again.
	Aug 2010	Excellant!!!! Always love selling my books here. They are fast and their website is very efficient. LOVE THEM!!!
	Aug 2010	I had an awesome experience with CKY Books. I will definitely consider them as my number one source for buying my used books in the future. They give me an excellent competitive offer with my books and I was extremely satisfied with their service. I completely recommend them. Thank you!
	Aug 2010	CKY Books provides an excellent service. Their fast service and good communication is greatly appreciated.
	Aug 2010	Great Transaction. The Fedex shipping was simple and fast and very convenient. Would definitely deal with CKY Books again.
	Aug 2010	I've used a number of book buyers with mixed results. I was very pleased with CKY. They go to the top of my list for 'no surprises' and delivering what they promised.
	Aug 2010	Fast payment and free shipping!!
	Aug 2010	CKY was great. I used several different companies at the same time, and they were the first one to respond. From the time I got the first e-mail until payment was made, was one day. What they paid for my books was exactly as quoted.
	Aug 2010	Pros: Dealing with CKY books was really easy. I expected working everything out would be more complicated, but the website is very informational, and it makes everything very simple. It even has a page to instruct you how to pack your books for the best safety. Cons: The quotes they give for the books on the website are mostly great, reasonable prices. However, the adjusted prices after the get your books and inspect them aren't very good. My books were not in perfect condition when I sent them in but they met the guidelines on the website. Yet when they sent my final quote they deducted about $4 per book because they had "ripped, torn, or missing covers". I can guarantee that none of my books had missing covers. All in all, CKY books is one of the easier companies to sell to. But don't expect your original quoted price.
	Aug 2010	CKY is great! They have one of the lowest sell back minimums (only $8.00) and they pay quickly and keep you updated well via email. I will continue to sell to CKY and encourage others to do so. They are a great service!
	Aug 2010	Shipped books out on Monday and was paid in full by Saturday afternoon. Overall pretty quick and painless.
	Jun 2010	Of all the companies dealt with, CKY is a consistent favorite. Only bad was price quoted on a book was a computer mistake and not honored, which is not good business practice, but the book was returned quickly.
	May 2010	Fast payment, courteous emails, processing was quick. Completely satisfied with my last shipment.
