After graduating with my Master's degree, I had a ton of books that were taking up a ton of space. My wife just kept on fussing about my books for months, and so I finally had to do something about it to keep from having to sleep outside in my dog's house! I ended up proposing to my 17yo son during the COVID quarantine, I knew a good way he could make some quick easy money by selling back my college books to the online bookstores. I showed him how to make a spreadsheet of the ISBN's and how to put the various offers in columns of each of the various stores. After a few days went by he ended up selling 2/3 of all of my tons of books! By far, BooksRun was the best bidder and offered to buy the widest of the selections! He and I were both very satisfied with the buybacks. My son was very excited when the $118 check showed up in the mail! Thank you for your service and for keeping me out of the dog house BooksRun!

Do not sell to BooksRun.com. I unfortunately did not check reviews before doing business with them. I sold 7 books to them and was told I was getting $115. When I checked my PayPal I only received $42. I emailed to ask why and they said that the box showed up damaged and only two books made it to them?! They said they have full security and cameras and that it was not a fault on their end and to report it to UPS. When asked for proof they didn't receive the books they wouldn't send the video they said they had in their first email. 5 out of the 7 books I sold to them were brand new! After reading the reviews (don't trust this site look on yelp) it seems this is a normal thing for this company. This company needs prosecuted for thief and fraud!

I rented a book from this company but ended up having to wait for it for almost 2 weeks, due to the way the USPS handled the package. Apparently they had to transfer my book to various distribution centers due to the packing slip being unrecognizable due to damage. When I finally received my book, the package was open, book almost hanging out, and the book was sliced across the back leaving a handful of pages cut up. When I brought this to this company's attention, Eugene was VERY helpful and EXTREMELY accommodating to my situation. He is the reason I will use this company's services again.

I must say that I was impressed by the quick response that I received from BooksRun in selling back my books. First, I had put in to sell some books and then found another book to sell and did what I needed to do. However, I did not know that I had to send the books according to how I had submitted the request and instead but them all in one box. Found out that it not how it's done because they sent reminders that one book had not been mailed. I emailed and explained what I did and they quickly responded to tell me that it had to be mailed separately, but that they would put the information in so that my book would still be accepted. Then I had not received the second check and wrote to let them know, they responded right away to explain the process, though I received the check the next day. I was grateful that each time I contacted them (Alex) I received a quick response. That was really appreciated.
