Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has experience using BlueRectangle.com 
<http://www.bluerectangle.com/>?  It is a site that purchases
books from libraries and individuals and then resells them.
Their advertising indicates that they are particularly interested in 
textbooks and other non-fiction. 
In my brief look at their site I thought it seemed to be an easy 
solution to the problem of how to
dispose of unwanted material without actually trashing it -  and perhaps 
make a little bit of money
for the library materials budget at the same time.

Has anyone out there tried them?  I'm looking for any kind of feedback.  
Thanks!
