Awesome to make a little cash on books that are just laying around. Easy and convenient!

App doesn’t work on my iPhone

I have an older iPhone (a 13 Pro) but it runs iOS 26 (the current os) and this app doesn’t work because it never shows the QR code for shipping. After numerous emails to the company, I finally tried on my laptop and, voilà the code appeared.

Your mileage may vary but if the app doesn’t work, try the website on a computer.

Hard to sell much. Picky about returns.

This company was hard to find many books to sell back. They didn’t allow many books, then often come back and choose not to pay the full amount. But I am happy to get some books out of my house. I just find getting $6 for over 50 high quality, classical books to be pure robbery.

Changed offer on book to $0.00

Quoted $59+ for book. Book was packaged and shipped. After BooksRun received the book they changed the offer to $0.00. They posted a dark grainy image that they claimed showed damage to the book.

10/10 would NOT recommend.
