Book came with broken spine, pages ready to fall out. And a giant BooksRun sticker on the back.

BooksRun attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Was honestly skeptical
November 29, 2022

I had read several horror stories in Reddit. I was expecting my books to suddenly had "water damage", or the price to be corrected for blemishes that were not there.

I was happily surprised that everything worked out well. I got the payment within a week, and it was the quoted price. I would recommend Booksrun after this experience. Very little customer effort.

Great first experience
November 29, 2022

This was the first time I used BooksRun and it went very well. The book selection process was easy, the label/mailing was straight forward and they paid me what I evaluated my books to be. Great experience and I would use them again.

DO NOT SELL
December 22, 2022

Please heed my warning. I didn't listen to the other reviews but booksrun will not give you the quote they initially tell you. They will find or do something to your books to not have to pay you. My books were untouched for 2 years and I finally decided to sell them and "somehow" water damage was on one of my books and my front page of another book was torn and had tape on it. Yes I would definitely sell back a book and put " like brand new" just for the cover to be falling off and need tap. You guys are a joke and if I wasn't a broke college student I would sue the heck out of you guys. Watch your backs because karma is real.
