They accept all books. I recommend to my friends and family and coworkers. ### 5/5 — Easy money *2026-08-18, version 2.40* Love clearing out and cashing out ### 5/5 — Recycling Education 4 Greater Good *2026-08-16, version 2.40* Fantastic app that helps knowledge to be spread for the welfare of everyone ### 5/5 — Preferred sale site *2026-08-15, version 2.40* A true go-to for high volume sales of books. Fast, simple, and little drama; quick pay. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — College textbooks *2026-08-13, version 2.40* Fair prices. Would sell here again. ### 2/5 — Mixed experiences *2026-08-12, version 2.40* My first order went smoothly, but the second order I shipped quickly and followed the rules only to wait a very long time and have it cancelled. So I just gave books for free with no real reason given. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-12, version 2.40* Quick, simple and accurate. Felt like I was selling for what the books were worth. ### 5/5 — Have no doubts - download BooksRun app today! *2026-08-08, version 2.39* This book buyer is spot on! The app made it easy to scan the books I wanted to sell and the payout was super fast. The instructions on how to sell to them were concise and clear. They made it easier than I expected. Payout was sent to PayPal. Keep up the great work BooksRun!!!! I will be selling to you again very soon. ### 5/5 — Easy process *2026-08-05, version 2.39* Sold a few books, most of them for under $1 but some of them compensated and it ended up being good money! Easy process, you can use usps to pick up at home and then payment was super easy and fast once they reviewed the books. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-02, version 2.39* Great way to earn money & it helps our planet! ### 5/5 — Great app great support *2026-08-01, version 2.39* Title says it all and they pay exceptionally well and are fair on book conditions where the other ones deny and keep your book for the smallest reason BooksRun will even talk to you about and see pictures beforehand the of the one flag refuses to discuss just complete you trade and send it and it’s a guess for 2 weeks. BooksRun condition lines are clear and if you do speak to someone beforehand you’ll never need to again they explain and help you so you’ll have a clear understanding ### 3/5 — need more explanation *2026-07-30, version 2.39* need to explain why a book’s sell back price has changed. also would be good to have the before and after buyback price showing as well. for logging in, please allow your site to remember both log in name and password ### 5/5 — Excellent & Easy to use *2026-07-29, version 2.39* I’m sorry I put off this task for over three years - because BooksRun and their app made it so easy for me to sell back my four boxes of used homeschool books. It’s a load off my mind to have the task completed. ### 5/5 — Sold books *2026-07-28, version 2.39* The whole process was pretty straightforward and easy to do. I was a little speculative after reading some negative reviews, but overall my experience was very good. Mailing the books was super easy and they even give clear instructions for every step. The only issue I had was that it took about an extra few days than expected for them to complete reviewing my books and the status was still “in transit” despite fedex saying it was delivered. I was planning on emailing soon, but everything worked out, and the status went from in transit straight to completed. Better communication on what the status of the package is would be nice, but overall it’s not a huge issue, as the timeline wasn’t something I was super worried about. I sent in what i had, and they paid me what they said they would. ### 5/5 — Easy peazy! *2026-07-28, version 2.39* Downloaded the app and scanned my books in. Took them to FedEx and they boxed them carefully. I got the insurance because I don’t trust fedex sometimes lol! A week after they were received, I got my money! Smooth process. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Takes 10+ days for payouts. World of books only takes 3 days *2026-09-03, version 2.40* Some orders 15+ days ### 1/5 — Works great until I try to sell. *2026-08-16, version 2.40* It scanned all the books gave a value, but as soon as I attempted to sell “checkout” it asked for my phone number and proceeded to a blank white screen. 10 minutes later same blank screen. Shutdown and try again, reenter the phone number and…. Same problem. ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-08-03, version 2.39* Lost two of the books I sent. Only paid $36 on a book where the offer was $45 without any explanation. Not the first time it’s happened. ### 1/5 — Waiting on cash Payment *2026-08-01, version 2.39* I am disappointed with my experience using BooksRun. I sold my books through their platform and was expecting to receive the full payment as promised. Unfortunately, I have still not received all of the funds that are owed to me. The process has been frustrating, and I expected better communication and faster resolution regarding my payment. If you are considering using BooksRun to sell your books, I recommend being cautious and closely monitoring your transaction to ensure you receive the full amount you are owed. I hope BooksRun resolves this issue promptly and improves its payment process for future customers. ### 1/5 — Would NOT Recommend *2026-07-27, version 2.39* Scanned my nursing books, they quoted them at $0.17 each!! SCAM!! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work on my iPhone *2026-07-14, version 2.39* 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. ### 1/5 — Hard to sell much. Picky about returns. *2026-07-14, version 2.39* 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. ### 1/5 — Changed offer on book to $0.00 *2026-07-09, version 2.39* 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. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-07-06, version 2.37.1* Too little for the hassle ### 1/5 — Keeps freezing up *2026-06-27, version 2.37.1* Keeps freezing up and having to be restarted ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-09-05, version 2.40* Love to send them my old books and get paid for them ### 5/5 — Easy! *2026-09-04, version 2.40* This has been a great tool to let books have a new life! ### 5/5 — textbooks *2026-09-02, version 2.40* Fair prices. Would sell here again. ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2026-08-30, version 2.40* What a great way to earn a little extra cash! ### 5/5 — Smooth and easy process *2026-08-28, version 2.40* I’ve now completed 2 selling orders to them and it has been a smooth process both times. I am definitely going to be sending more books. ### 5/5 — Reliable, fast and simple *2026-08-28, version 2.40* I’ve done about 7-8 buyback orders and each one has been processed and paid out efficiently and reliably. Thank you for this great service! You’re helping me pay my rent over here!💛 ### 5/5 — Great buyer! *2026-08-25, version 2.40* The process is so easy. They cover shipping, review quickly and pay quickly. Great prices for used books. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-23, version 2.40* Great way to earn money & it helps our planet! ### 5/5 — Accessibility *2026-08-23, version 2.40* It was an easy way to access a platform and sell your books. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-22, version 2.40* I sell back hundreds and hundreds of books to this company they always pay promptly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
