BookTrapper: Sell Textbooks

About this app

Sell Used Books & Textbooks
BookTrapper helps you sell your used books or textbooks online for the highest price. We search offers from all the buyback companies that specialize in buying used textbooks to make sure you get the most money. BookTrapper is especially helpful for those selling college textbooks, but you can sell other books on BookTrapper. Anything with a barcode/ISBN is searchable.

Most buyback companies ship for free and will pay you through PayPal or check. Just package your books up and send them in.

Buy Books
If you need to buy textbooks for the upcoming semester and want to find the lowest price online, we can help you with that too. We’ll search the top book sellers online and find the lowest price. Online prices are often lower than what you find in the campus bookstore or at the off-campus bookstore. Most of our vendors shop for free!

Rent Books
Search textbook rental prices on BookTrapper. Most vendors rent books for 30, 60, 90, or 120 days. Rental prices are sometimes lower than purchasing outright. We’ll help you find the best price by searching offers from online textbook rental companies.

Top Features:

Barcode Scanner: No need to enter ISBNs manually, just tap scan and our in-app barcode scanner will read the ISBN and start searching.

Favorites: If you are scanning books and get a good offer, just tap Add to Favorites, and the app will save that book in a list so you can find it easily later.

Multiple Offers: We are adding more online book companies as often as we can to make sure you are getting the most accurate and best prices for your used books!

Ratings and reviews

I downloaded this app as well as three other similar book selling apps & this is definitely the worst of the total four that I downloaded BY FAR. I tried scanning two piles of books, maybe 5-10 total in each, & while the other three apps showed the exact same results, this app showed that none of the books were sellable to any book companies. I have yet to even find one single book that is sellable through this app. Definitely not impressed. Immediately uninstalled.

I ended up not using the app because it seems to be mainly for textbooks. Most of everything I scanned was only worth a few pennies to them so I listed on ebay and amazon instead. The app itself seemed to work fine because it gave me no issues.

So far a great timesaving tool! I just started using it a few days ago but it has already introduced me to a number of new places to sell that I was unaware of and also resulted in me making more money than I otherwise would have. Overall very pleased. Thank you for such a clean, straightforward, user friendly app!
