i do love „rebuy“ - a recommerce company, specializing in buying and reselling used electronics and media products.
i often get second hand books from there for a pretty good price.
i also love that they want to give things a new live, like yes, i‘m all in.
but here is where my love lays low towards them.
why is it considered good to remove dedications with white out? these are second hand, i want the personal touches.
they say it is to „be able to resell the books as new or at least well preserved. This serves to optimize the sale price and increase acceptance among potential buyers“ WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THAT.
i think it looks even uglier like this than when it would have been left like it was before..
i tried to preserve it but WHY do it in the first place?
(not the only book but the one that was nearest)
what it says translated from german into english: „Have fun reading. We can all be heroes! Christian Handel“
