Despicable business practice in obtaining books
Bookbarn International的点评
点评：To anyone lamenting the demise of this ‘wonderful’ bookshop, you might be interested to know the methods used to obtain their books.
When my mother, a book collector, died, I handed over ±1000 books to Book Barn because I was too ill myself to sort and sell them. Around 60% were pristine, including numerous first editions, (many signed), some fairly rare stuff, as well as Folio and coffee table books. The agreement was that they would collect the books, list them online and keep me updated monthly on sales, via a payment schedule that decreased monthly on anything unsold after a year. I should have pulled out when they then inexplicably tried to charge a hefty sum for collection, which I refused. The man who collected the books just chucked them into crates, damaging many. They then failed to list the books online as promised; I searched repeatedly, and every time I enquired, they said it was ‘in progress’, but but none of the titles were ever listed. They then claimed the books ‘didn’t sell within the agreed timeframe’, so I didn’t receive a penny.
It's a dishonest situation and I believe they effectively stole 1000 books from me.

翻译：对于那些为这家“美妙”书店的消亡而哀叹的人，您可能有兴趣了解获取他们的书籍的方法。
当我的母亲（一位藏书家）去世时，我把 1000 英镑的书交给了 Book Barn，因为我自己病得太重，无法分类和出售它们。大约 60% 是原始的，包括许多第一版（许多有签名）、一些相当稀有的东西，以及对开本和咖啡桌书籍。双方达成的协议是，他们将收集这些书，在网上列出它们，并每月向我通报销售情况，付款时间表会在一年后每月减少未售出的书籍。当他们莫名其妙地试图收取高额费用时，我应该退出，但我拒绝了。收集这些书的人只是把它们扔进板条箱，结果损坏了许多书。然后他们没有按照承诺在网上列出这些书;我反复搜索，每次我询问，他们都说“正在处理”，但没有列出任何书籍。他们随后声称这些书“没有在约定的时间内卖出去”，所以我没有收到一分钱。
这是一种不诚实的情况，我相信他们实际上偷了我的 1000 本书。
