- sparky_z 3y agoBut is that any time a book is returned and resold, or is it just for a few "author's copies" that (I would guess) weren't eligible to receive a royalty in the first place?
- jxf 3y agoHe's saying that he got some author's copies from Amazon, some of which he returned for being damaged. Rather than scrap those, Amazon resold the damaged copies as new. This robbed the author of a sale.
- beanjuiceII 3y agowhy would he get paid other than the initial buy of a book?
- Dylan16807 3y agoIt sounds like he wasn't paid for the initial buy either.
- beanjuiceII 3y agowhere does he say that? if someone buys his books in bulk to sell them, isn't that the initial buy?
- Dylan16807 3y agoNot if it's a special author's copy with no royalties. It's not completely clear what's going on, maybe returns cause other issues, but he's claiming no royalties from either sale. If he's not just confused that's a big deal.
- joabaldwin 3y agoCorrect, author copies have no royalties, that’s what I was claiming there. So if Amazon resells those after I return them, it won’t register as a new print. Expanded more on it on another reply to this thread.
