I purchased a book for R1146 last year and due to the cost was hesitant about paying so much for one book. I was reassured by an assistant that this book will be bought back from me the next year at 45% of the cost of the book. I then paid this exorbitant amount for the book and left. This year when I went to sell back the text at 45% of its original value, I was advised that this book does not appear on the list of books that can be bought back. Note that this book is the latest edition and in excellent condition as stipulated by Armstong. The previous year I had the same problem except, the reason then was that the edition I had purchased was now old. It is sad that as a student who is facing so many challenges to obtain an education, one has to further face obstacles like these which have huge financial implications.
