I was only offered 20- 40¢ for each one. A grand total of less than $2 . This is a joke. -- Devonm312, 2025-10-19 ### **--- "Keep an eye out for this" I was running a few days late getting my books into the mail because we don’t have a fedex near us, so I redid my order it was 230$ originally after redoing it only three days later it became 200$. Fine I get it things change I guess… then I received my email with my check amount that was on its way (within 20 days?!?) now it’s 198$. The difference isn’t huge but still why does the number keep going down seems sketchy to me. I’ll update if I ever receive the check, don’t think I will use this service again rubs me the wrong way. -- notirgrlfrnd, 2025-10-17 ### ***** "Great for College Students" I have used BooksRun for renting and selling textbooks and it is so easy and convenient! -- esther.leann, 2025-09-25 ### ***-- "Fast but not paid quoted amount" No explanation for why the quoted amount wasn’t paid. They don’t take as many books as competitors but generally pay more. The lack of explanation for the reduced payment will keep me away. -- DCAguy83, 2025-09-25 ### *---- "Worst Designed App Ever" This should be a simple to use app, but no. Their coding is bugged so when you click to print a shipping label it just continuously redirects you to the my account page. Their customer service is a joke, it says they’re active in cha however they will never respond. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone who doesn’t have the time to try and fix their problems. I wish I could give this a 0 stars. Very disappointed with my experiences! -- Crash1935, 2025-09-23 ### ***-- "Good if only option" If no other company wants the book, and you are in no rush, this is a decent option. You have to box it up, but post office just scans QR code and accepts it. Takes a week for them to process and then a check is mailed and “it may take 3 to 20 days for the check to arrive.” -- wytetrash85@twitter, 2025-09-19 ### ***** "Fast and Easy" It doesn’t get any easier than this. Scan the book bar code, or enter ISBN. The app shows the values, if any. Box up the books to send in, delete any you want to keep, and drop off at FedEx for free shipping. 10 days later I received a check. I was not sure about trusting the electronic payment the first time, but I will in thr future. -- User8351, 2025-09-08 ### ***** "Great Resource" This was a perfect resource to be able to get money back for the textbooks I no longer need. The app was extremely easy to use and everything was convenient, including the barcode to package the books! I will definitely be using this app again! -- megandillon, 2025-09-05 ### *---- "Fraud" I would not use this app. I sent 7 college nursing books in to sell. Received response 3 wks later saying 3/6 books are fraud. I have proof of purchase for all the books. My account was closed. I do not get any of the books back or any money for any of them. I have no idea what a fraud book even means. All books purchased on line through Walmart or amazon. Basically this company took 7 books and gave me nothing in response. -- Don’t-know654, 2025-09-05 ### ***** "Easy to use" It was extremely to use books run to sell my old nursing textbooks. I highly recommend selling your books here for fast and easy service. -- Kaila2724, 2025-09-02 [View all BooksRun reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## BooksRun Discovered Keywords - studybuddy - sell books - sell my books - book selling - selling books - powells books - booksrun - sell books for cash ## Apps Similar to BooksRun - [Nielsen Mobile App](https://apptail.io/app/nielsen-mobile-app-szf/united-states) - [ecoATM](https://apptail.io/app/ecoatm-FxX/united-states) - [Sidekick Tools](https://apptail.io/app/sidekick-tools-hPyb/united-states) - [eProfit - Sell on ebay with AI](https://apptail.io/app/eprofit-sell-on-ebay-with-ai-sbKb/united-states) - [BookTrapper: Sell Textbooks](https://apptail.io/app/booktrapper-sell-textbooks-tubc/united-states) - [BookScouter - Sell & buy books](https://apptail.io/app/bookscouter-sell-buy-books-Aubc/united-states) - [Crosslisting](https://apptail.io/app/crosslisting-Yili/united-states) - [Atly – Know where to go](https://apptail.io/app/atly-know-where-to-go-jSij/united-states) - [PrimeLister: Crosslisting App](https://apptail.io/app/primelister-crosslisting-app-eXnp/united-states) - [Nepeto](https://apptail.io/app/nepeto-XGEq/united-states) ## BooksRun Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/booksrun-sell-books-for-cash-nIQc/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/booksrun-sell-books-for-cash-nIQc/canada) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/booksrun-sell-books-for-cash-nIQc/belarus) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
