Disappointed Customer
January 28, 2023

I just received a book in the worst condition that I have ever seen. It's completely written on, had the former student's highlight in every page. Embarrassing that a company would even send out a product like this. Their response " indicates some markings and highlight " should have indicated notes, writing and highlight in every page.

Scam
January 13, 2023

They scammed me out of money and even told me if I wanted to my book back I had to pay more for shipping than they offered to pay me. Do not recommend.

Books to give out!
December 14, 2022

I've been a "book reader" and a" book collector" my whole life.And I guess I've also added being a "book giver". So needless to say, when one can get books that are" very good "or" like new" for a very good price it makes it all that much easier to pass them out.

I feel like I just got robbed. The book I sent in to sell was in like new conditions with ALL the pages intact, just as when I purchased it. Then they send me an email saying they adjusted the buying price to $ZERO because of a supposedly missing copyright page? They submitted pictures which didn't show any pages torn off. And again, the book was in the same condition as when I bought it. The pictures attached are what they submitted to supposedly prove that the copyright page was torn off or missing, but you can clearly see no signs of this.

I gotta say, I had never used this site before, this was my first time, and I feel the need to tell everyone what a scam it is. They just take your books and create some bogus reason why it's worth $0 and if you want it back you have to pay close to $10 to ship it back. Wow.

We regret to hear that your order could not be fulfilled. Unfortunately, books without copyright pages are illegal for purchase and sale (distribution of counterfeit copies is prohibited by the U.S. Code TITLE 18. PART I. CHAPTER 113. § 2320. Trafficking in counterfeit goods or services.). Due to this reason, wa warn our valued customers about this matter in our Terms&Conditions. - BooksRun Team

Easy Way to Sell Our Books
December 13, 2022

Our process of selling our slightly used textbooks was very simple. We just scanned the books in the BooksRun app and we received a price quote within seconds. We just had to package up the books and take them to the shipper who printed out the label from our QR code in the app.

Few Glitch
December 12, 2022

The whole buyback process is awesome and far better than any other buyback websites. The only issue is low prices on multiple copies.

Work professionally
December 11, 2022

For the first time, I had experience with BooksRun. I was worried that the books I sent might overestimate and pay less than the expected amount. However, BooksRun works very professionally and without any delays. I will recommend BooksRun to my friends.
