Has anyone ever been screwed over when trying to buy books? Well, I have and here's what I have to say about it.

On Friday, August 22, I purchased a French book and lab cd I needed for class, both of which were used. When I tried to sign in to use the lab cd I was unable to do so for unknown reasons. Then I found out from my professor that used lab cds were not supposed to be sold. So I decided to take them all back and get a refund. Story done, right? WRONG.

When I asked the cashier at Bradley Book Co. for a refund she informed me that I could only get 80% of my money back.

To sum it all up, I bought a book and cd that shouldn't have even been sold to me in the first place and I had to pay for their mistake. I don't know what can be done to prevent this in the future but something definitely needs to be done.
