BOOKS RUN IS A SCAM
November 8, 2023

SCAM! BUYER BEWARE! Books Run does not honor their return policy. Books Run will not get back to you to give specifics including RA NUMBER for return no matter how many times you reach out. Not UNTIL I disputed charge with my credit card then Books Run sent me to collections, they increased the price of book and added collection fees. Finally Books Run responded with RA number for return, received book back and said it was returned late and still is charging me! DON'T WASTE TIME WITH THEM LIKE I HAVE!

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.

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.
