October 7, 2023

I've sold back several textbooks to BooksRun, and each time they have had the best buyback prices, have processed my books quickly, and I've received payment a few days later.

They make it easy.
October 7, 2023

Can't get any easier to sell books. I didnt have to deal with site fees, shipping cost and customers when i got rid of my old books. And after all that a fair price.

Beer money
October 6, 2023

We scan the bar code on the books with the BooksRun app. Some are worth more than others. I box the books that are worth a little more. Print the shipping label provided. Put gas in the vehicle and take the box to the shipper. Wait to hear from BooksRun with email and see the results in your account. Look for more books. That's the difficult part.

I love the ease of use of the BooksRun app, and how it ties in with the BookScouter app as well. However, there is no way (that I've found at least) to print a packing list of the books I'm shipping. There should be a link on the order details tab that lets me click to print a packing list.
