Good transaction
November 25, 2024

My only issue was that I didn't purchase the insurance and it was deducted from my payout anyway. Otherwise would definitely do again.

Great copy!
November 25, 2024

The book I ordered, "Training for the New Alpinism," was advertised as being in very good condition. Its condition is certainly that, like new, in fact. The price was good, especially for its condition, so I'm quite pleased and will look for BooksRun offerings in the future.

I ordered a book which had to be shipped from Germany. It arrived in good time & I was alerted to its coming. Packaging was excellent for the large, thick paperbound volume.

Classic book found quickly.
November 25, 2024

A book that I should have read 50 years ago was brought up for recent discussion. I searched for it and found it at BooksRun and had it 5 days later. Almost brand new. Hopefully read at least once.
I'm pleased.

A lot of effort for too little return.
November 25, 2024

Gathering enough books they were purchasing to meet minimum $ requirements took several hours. In all 35 books which they rejected 2 for very picky reasons, to net appx $16 equated to too little return for too much effort.

Underwhelming
November 25, 2024

While I did clear space on my bookshelf they rated things poor that were brand new. So basically any excuse to give you less money.
