Issues such as inadequate packaging and communication frustrations also surfaced. Overall, while many customers express satisfaction with their purchases, the company must address recurring complaints to enhance trust and customer experience.

Book Sell Back
October 3, 2023

I sold back several books and they were evaluated reasonably for a price, and my check came sooner than expected.

Saved money and my class!
October 3, 2023

My class books were not available at my campus bookstore. In a frantic search, I was able to find your site and rent the book for my class, rather than purchasing it for a large amount!

Update: This seller has been very responsive and offered a compromise. I would buy from them again.

I would have rated the purchase higher but I felt the condition of the book was misrepresented. It was described as "Very Good" but it was in poor shape (the covers were falling off and had some water damage). I would have gone with another seller if I had known.

Real Quick and Easy

I looked up the books I had and found them within seconds then created an account and shipped them. It was a straightforward transaction and Books Run was the best payout that bought all my books. I recommend.
