A trustworthy straightforward process
A trustworthy straightforward process. However, Fatbrain do not always offer very good prices for their buy backs and the process can be a bit slow. My parcel arrived at the warehouse a good number of days before it was actually processed. Having said that, they do accept books that other sites do not. So so long as you do not need the money in a hurry, this is a good company to use. I would recommend them with the above proviso.

The only grumble I have is the Fatbrain is very choosy about the books it's prepared to buy. Other than that, the whole process was pretty painless.

Sold my old textbooks with fat brain. It was really simple and was instructions were clear. The offer for my books was maybe not as high as what I thought they were worth, however fatbrain did offer the most for them out of all similar sites. Would definitely recommend!
