- 2***l (388)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI buy used blu ray movies almost exclusively. When a great title comes to me, at a great price, responsibly shipped in bubblewrap, I know the seller's smart, and responsible, and their efforts are worthy of our business. A++, all around..! Thanks, Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina..! Let's do this again..! 👋😁👌
- i***l (1344)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasefrom reading his feedback, i see this seller always UNDER-rates the condition of his books. they are usually in BETTER condition than listed. he also ships fast. so one can be confident that the condition of a book from this seller will be AT LEAST as good as described, usually BETTER, and shipped promptly. the book i just received is in EXCELLENT condition, but was only listed as "acceptable". wish all book sellers were as honest as this one. won't hesitate to buy from him again!Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook (#235898226302)
- _***a (31)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNo stock photo in the listing, which was ultimately not needed due to the accurate description of being 'still in manufacturer wrapping'. Product was in new condition, being listed by the seller as like-new (perhaps because of a slight dent in the slipcover). Shipped very fast. Very happy with my purchase. Would purchase from seller again.Cinderella [Two-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray DVD Combo in DVD Packaging] (#235867784980)
