I was very disappointed with my experience with Bookrenter.com. I feel that they were very dishonest with me when it came to the price of a book I rented. My wife and I rented a book for $86 for her schooling (honestly, not a bad price). The rental was then extended three times, which ended up costing $93 (for the extensions themselves). We then wanted to buy the book. Their policy says that when your rental extensions meet or exceed the buyout price, then you get to keep the book. Because the book is only $180 used on amazon, we thought it wouldn't take much to purchase it since we had paid 170 already. They only gave me the option to buy it out at a price of $260! NEW on Amazon costs 220, and they want to charge me 260 for a USED textbook? Not to mention, that number is higher than what it was when we initially rented the book. A text book should go DOWN in value as time goes on. Definitely not up. The only option we had was to return the book, and lose the $93, or pay another $80 for the buyout, after we've already paid the $170 total. We were taken advantage of, and are never renting from this company again.
