Humber Books, on 3230 Lake Shore Blvd W, Etobicoke, ON M8V 1M1, was a bookstore right across from ****** ******* ********* campus. They offered rental/re-sale textbooks to students. I visited the store in Jan 2020 - in an attempt to sell my original first-year textbooks and get some of the other textbooks needed. My original textbooks were at a value of $300-$350. The owner said he can take the original textbooks from me and offer them for resale to other students, and give me a 20% discount on the books I needed. He also took a copy of my student ID and asked me when I'll be graduating - my money would be returned to me once he sold my new original textbooks, said he will take 10% of the price of the new selling textbooks. I recently graduated and went to the store with my ID, the owner is the same guy but now he sell antiques and refuses to accept his responsibility and give me the money for my books. ***** *** ******** ******* ****** ** ******** *** **** **** **** ** ** **** *********. I have the receipts and details of all this on paper.
