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.

Run

So many complaints on Reddit about ppl not being paid for their books shipped in, I'm not sending mine in anymore. I guess buying is okay BuT Do NOt sale to them yours. They'll claim your books are fake then ban you. Good read it yourself. 🫪🫪
