I bought a book that was listed as being in "very good" condition (wob defines "very good" as "a copy that's almost as good as new"). Considering that wob was offering this book for 7 Euro (a new copy is around 14 euro), I considered this a good deal.
Upon arrival, the book did not qualify as "very good" but rather "well read" (yellowed pages, stains on cover, folded pages and a warped book spine in wrinkles).
I will donate this book to charity and order a new copy.

This is the second time that I ordered with wob and received a book that did not meet the description of the advertised category.
The first time, it did not matter as much to me, this time, however, I had to rely on the categorisation and gave wob one more chance /the benefit of the doubt.
After this experience however, I would only order from wob if I did not care about the outward appearance of the book.

Conclusion: If you primarily or only care about the content of the book then wob might be a good solution. For cases in which you need to trust that the advertised category is correct, I cannot recommend wob.
