Hello and Happy New Year! Alright, so we’re a little late on our New Year’s greetings, but we wanted to make sure all of our ducks were in a row before letting you know what’s in store for the coming year.
We’d love for BookScouter users to support a charity we have been contributing to for many years now. The charity helps elementary school children in the local area receive books during the summer to improve their reading level.
Great news everyone! For a limited time Sell-Textbook.com is offering customers the opportunity to earn 6% bonus cash on buybacks until September 13th, 2015. Use the code “Summer6” at the checkout to claim your bonus.
Over the past 40 hours BookScouter.com has experienced some pricing discrepancies for specific vendors, causing the price shown on BookScouter to not reflect the actual price the vendor was offering. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and we’re happy to say these issues have been resolved. We take pride in BookScouter being the best resource to sell books and because of this, we want to let you know why this happened. There has been a longtime misconception that BookScouter buys books. In actuality, BookScouter.com is merely a price comparison site. We have no say in the prices offered for books. We use information given to us [not scraped] by each vendor and display that price on our price comparison page in real-time. As a result, when there is a price discrepancy on BookScouter.com, chances are it’s the vendor providing misinformation and not BookScouter attempting to bait and switch users.
BookScouter continues to grow in traffic every season. With this growth comes increased customer service inquiries. One of the more frequent inquiries we receive asks us for our recommendation to whom they should sell a specific book. Despite BookScouter user reviews and price comparisons, it became clear that users wanted a vendor recommendation from BookScouter.
For a limited time and exclusively through BookScouter, BookByte is offering a 5% Buyback Bonus to any sale using the promo code “SCOUT5”. This offer is good through May 31, 2015.
