Bookster bust!

[alden]

Bookster have gone out of business and many customers are now seeking to retrieve their prepayments through their credit card providers.

I suspect there are not too many clients of Bookster on this forum as they trolled heavily on other sites. But this is news that some should know. I hope the mills that supplied them with cloth did not get hurt by this.

I have to say that Bookster was a nightmare for Moderators of forums. They barraged forums with sock puppets asking questions about their services and other sock puppets who gave rave reviews. This technique of stealth marketing has become standard fare on forums nowadays and at the time it was a real nuisance. And even after polite emails from yours truly asking them to cease and desist, they kept on and on, registering new voices on the LL to advertise. As they created them, I erased them. Good riddance!

BTW, It's a lesson for some of you newbies surfing the forums and blogs...keep your eyes wide open.

Cheers

I'm sorry to read negative feedbacks about Bookster and bad news about their activity. I've been a customer for years and bought rare, vintage items through their eBay shop. The descriptions of their items were the most complete an online customer can hope for and the service (communication, P&P) was first class. On few occasions, I wasn't happy with my purchase (unsatisfactory fit) and always received a full refund in no time, despite no refunds being granted for poor fit.
