Ratings and Reviews
Funny side gig
I saw this app as an ad and at first I was like “nah” but my wife has been bugging me about selling my old text books. I kept telling her that they are to old and wouldn’t sell. I took a leap of fair and tried it. I was surprised that some of the books were still worth some money. After going to the individual venders that the app offers I was able to get my prepaid shipping label and sent out the next day! Obviously this is a side gig but it was enjoyable. Now my wife and I are planning on looking around the house for more books to sell. It’s like a scavenger hunt, looking for books, looking for codes haha. I am giving a 4/5 stars because I feel the app and the computer version should have it were it syncs. It would be cool to scan a ton of book codes on your phone and then have all the books you scanned on the computer. Also why is there a login on the computer but not the app????
Part-time job!
Love this app! I go out 2 or 3 times a week and scan used books at thrift stores, etc and have made enough money for a nice vacation! The app scans the book and then 10-20 different companies show the price they will pay. I pick the highest price, print off the free mailing label and box up the books. 2-3 weeks later I get a nice check in the mail. Now I am getting 5-10 checks a week. Takes a little time and work but a great part-time job working as my own boss and own hours! The app used to have problems but lately it’s working fine.
Why didn’t I know about this sooner!
I inherited a lot of books from my dad (he was an English professor) which have sitting around for years. Now that I’m trying to get rid of them, I really just wanted to do checks to see if any of them had any value before they got dumped. And this bookscouter app seems to be exactly what I need .
The only thing I wished the app could do is pull the “answer” from just imaging the ISBN # with the camera and not need the full barcode as that often doesn’t exist for older books and typing in the codes slows down the process greatly, but otherwise it has worked great and has helped ameliorate my fears that the majority of these books had any street value beyond certain collectors.
