Don't Sell New Books to BooksRun
January 30, 2024

My new books are always downgraded. I requested the return of a book you would not accept - you refused to return it. I tell my book friends to use eCampus, Ziffit, or SellBackYourBook.

HORRIBLE!
January 30, 2024

This feels like the biggest scam, and I have yet to receive any money for my books. The whole reason I sold the books when I did was to help pay for Christmas gifts and here, I am knocking at the door to February 2024 and still have no check for the books I sent back in December. I will strongly urge my classmates and my coworkers to avoid you guys.

The book didn't arrive and BooksRun told me (after several time and some claims) that I have to deal with USPS on my own.
Finally I received the refund
