It was featured on Dr. Phil... it must be good!!   ::)

But, seriously, I am inspired to give it a shot. If it works well, I may start a little book venture. Probably just steal some ISBNs from Amazon and see what the price comparisons are.

I do like that they pay the shipping, cause that can ruin margins real quick.

If I beat you to it, I'll let you know how it turned out.

Guess it's good if you have books just hanging around but put in all my books and 99% they didn't want.
The rest came to about $15.

Put in my friends text book that he paid $60 used and they offered $4.70.  Book store will pay $28.

But I figure my dads gf buys all the new releases in hardback then passes them to me.
I usually just pass them along or donate. Even a couple bucks apiece is better than donating....

I use bookscouter. It scans the bar code and then references several sites to find you the best price. Probably not as much as your local campus bookstore will pay, but they can pay more because they have guaranteed customers coming their way.

Used the smart phone app at an estate sale this afternoon.
Hardback books $2/ea.  just scanned each book and bought all that sold for more than $2.
Only made $24.20 but no work.  Grind it out!  ;)

Tho I'm having technical difficulties getting an invoice.....and gotta find a F'n box to ship them. Thinking of swinging by staples and seeing if they have boxes from reems of paper. Think those are sturdy enough to ship books.   ???
