The following sites were the most popular in January 2010 according to the number of visitors sent from BookScouter. This is a good indication of which websites offered the highest prices during the month.
I’m happy to announce, that after much work, the BookScouter iPhone App is available in the App Store. This allows you access to the full power of the BookScouter pricing comparisons on your iPhone.
I’ve just finished adding Blue Rocket Books to the site. Their pricing should be showing up now, so please leave feedback for them as you have a chance to try their service. From what I’ve seen, it looks like they purchase more fiction and other non-textbooks than many other sites.
Thank you to those who recently let me know about BookJingle. I have just finished adding it to the site, and pricing should be showing up now.
I go through a fair amount of work to ensure that the vendor feedback system on BookScouter.com is accurate and comes from legitimate book sellers. For each submission, I go through a process to check several things that I have found indicative of problems. Submissions may be rejected or deleted if I identify any of the following:
- Vulgar or offensive language.
- Excessively poor grammar, punctuation, or spelling.
- Comments not specifically regarding the vendor to which they were submitted.
- Comments not related to selling books.
- Any attempt from a vendor to try to promote themselves or to attack another vendor.
Vendors in violation of number five risk having their site removed from BookScouter.com and may be publicly humiliated.
