BooksIntoCash.com Added, Several Vendors Fixed

News & Updates By February 10, 2009 Last Updated on January 14, 2023 by Olivia Smith Tags: No Comments

I’ve just added BooksIntoCash.com to the site. I also noticed that TextbooksIntoCash.com was previously broken and seems to be working now, so that site is re-enabled.Also, BookEmporium.com had been broken because they had made some changes on their sites, and they are working again now as well.

With those changes, there are now 35 vendors showing up on the site.

Downtime

News & Updates By January 18, 2009 Last Updated on September 23, 2021 by The BookScouter Team No Comments

I was away from my computer for most of the morning and just saw all of the emails about the site being down. After a quick investigation, I found that some of the database tables required to run the site were corrupted. This was causing the home page to show up incorrectly, and the pricing page would show the book detail but wouldn’t display any prices on it. The problem has been fixed now. I’m still trying to determine the cause, but it will likely just be ‘one of those things’ that computers sometimes do. Thanks to everybody who sent me an email letting me know about the problem.

New Merchant: Chegg.com

News & Updates By January 17, 2009 Last Updated on August 28, 2023 by Abigail White Tags: No Comments

I’ve just finished adding Chegg.com as a new merchant.Β  Chegg is primarily a company that rents textbooks to students, which is a fairly new concept that seems to be gaining some traction. From what I know, they are a pretty good company to deal with, and they seem to be offering a pretty competitive price for many textbooks. Please give them a try and leave feedback for them. It looks like Powell’sΒ also changed the layout of their page which broke lookups for it. That has been fixed, and I see that they now offer payment via PayPal.
