“Efficient way to get rid of books I will say that even if you have to find your own box and drive to the post office when gas is $4.50 a gallon. Caution : for most books they won’t pay you enough to justify the hassle. Tell them to come to your house and give you a charity receipt”

“There are good things and bad things. It is nice that they make it easy to ship the books. It does seem as though it takes a little while to actually get the funds. It is also disappointing to the low percentage of books that they will actually buy and the prices are pretty low.”

“Rejected 2 books they said they wanted. Books were in great shape. Said if I wanted them back I would have to pay shipping. I said ok and selected PayPal for payment option. I tried several times and it kept defaulting back to “action needed “. Contacted customer service and they said they couldn’t help. I guess they will keep my books and sell them.”

“Books Run doesn’t allow you to adjust the condition of the book like they previously did. You could change the condition from ‘good’ to ‘like new’ and that option is non working on the site.”

“Generally, the process of scanning the books is good and fast. The problem that I have had lately is that when I tried to put in a promo code for a bonus on my cell back, Books, the app gets hung up. My last order was for $130, but I ended up not getting the Easter 5% because the app got glitchy and got hung up. I missed out on around seven dollars.”

“Currently BooksRun has some of the most competitive prices in the buy back market. Having said that, here are a couple of things they can do to improve customer satisfaction. When you scan a barcode into the search field and hit enter, the cursor doesn’t stay in the search field and you have to move your mouse again and click on the search field again in order to scan the next barcode. The other thing is that I don’t trust you to pay me for more expensive buybacks. Every time that I sent in a more pricey buyback over $10 it was flagged as potentially counterfeit.”

“They're are so many books in pristine condition and new releases but the payout for them is not worth it. Many popular fiction titles are also not being bought. I don't mind $1 per book but anything below $1 is insane.”
