User Reviews

User feedback shows BooksRun is easy to use for selling, with some quick-pay experiences, but recurring concerns overshadow the positives: extremely low offers and high cash-out thresholds, frequent claims of scams/counterfeit issues, slow or delayed payments, scanner reliability problems, and inconsistent customer service.

Pros

Easy to use and convenient selling process (scan books, ship, and get paid after processing) appears in multiple reviews.
Some users report quick payouts once books are processed.
Overall positive sentiment about the app as a platform to sell and buy books.

Cons

Very low buyback offers and high cash-out minimums, making payouts feel unfair (quotations like cents per book and a $7.00 cash-out threshold).
Reports of scams, counterfeit rejections, and non-payment or lost items, leading to trust concerns.
Payment processing is slow or can take weeks in many cases.
Scanner/app reliability issues leading to inaccurate or inconsistent quotes (scanner malfunctions).
Customer service is hard to reach or not consistently helpful.

Recent reviews

I have been using this and another app to resale book that I get from various sources. Its better then most places to resale, but it honestly asks more from you then its competitors. For example You have to weigh out your books before you package them because you can't have a single package over 40lbs. Most other competitors take the approach of if you get them in a box we'll cover shipping. The only thing they are competive on is the price, and the QR code shipping labels.
