Cleo will bark at you if you click the picture Four
things to remember about the used curriculum/DVD/Flash Drive market: 1. The used media seller is selling
an out-of-date version of the product in most cases. The reason RWT produces
a new version each year is that about 1/4 of the websites used in the
production of the prior year's disc will not be available for the second
year’s use. We try to give you the best materials to utilize, so we produce a
new version each year. 2. Most businesses will not provide
customer service for any re-sold item. The re-seller needs to service what
they sell. Damage related to shipping of the product is generally the
re-seller's responsibility. RWT will
not support re-sold discs. It just is
not a profitable use of our time.
Version 1.0 and 2.0 DVDs are currently out of stock and have been for
two years. We will no longer support
these products on either the Apologia or RWT label. 3. Re-selling takes money away from
the Christian author who wrote and produced the materials. Authors have to be able to support their
families if they are to keep producing materials for homeschooling families
to use. The more re-selling that goes on, the less the author has to live on.
Eventually, authors stop producing the materials and move on to other
pursuits because generating their product is no longer profitable. Due to
re-selling, RWT will most probably be dropping Marine Biology, Advanced
Biology, and General Science from its product line in 2013. 4. Re-selling of our copyrighted
materials is also a violation of RWT’s posted use/license agreement. Hopefully this information has been helpful. Please pray for
direction and do the next right thing when purchasing. God
Bless, Steve
