More money from your books, less time sorting them.
Scan as you sort. Bookfox buys the valuable books at wholesale and automatically categorizes the rest so your customers can find them easily.
Your best books are leaving for loose change.
Rare, out-of-print, and sought-after titles hide in plain sight on a dollar table. Bookfox catches them as your team scans, so the books worth real money actually get priced like it.
These are the signals Bookfox checks for, on every book your team scans.
How it works
Three parts. Most of the work is the sorting your team already does.
Set your categories and minimums
Pick the sections you sort books into and the lowest wholesale price you'll accept. Takes a few minutes, and you can change it anytime.
Your staff scan the books
Staff and volunteers install the app and scan a QR code to join your store, then scan barcodes as they sort. The app flags what's worth selling wholesale.
We buy and pick up
We pay you wholesale for the valuable books, above the minimums you set, and collect them on a regular schedule. The rest stays sorted on your shelves.
We train your team and stay involved. Short videos get a new volunteer scanning in minutes, and when anyone needs a hand, we help by phone or in person.
Everything your store gets
Free software, scanners included, and real money for books you'd nearly give away, with almost no extra work for your team.
Free today, no subscription
The software is free, with no subscription and no per-book fee. If we ever start charging for a feature that's free today, we'll give you at least 60 days' notice.
Scanners included
We provide the barcode scanners your team uses, so there's no hardware for you to buy.
Dollar books, real money
Books you'd sell for a dollar or two can be worth far more than they look, and we pay wholesale for them.
Free pickup, paid fast
We collect the books we buy on a regular schedule at no cost, and pay you within 7 days of your batch being accepted.
Sorted as you scan
Every book is filed into your own categories the moment it's scanned, so shelves stay organized.
See what's in demand
The app flags sought-after titles, so you can price or display popular books differently.
Catch new releases
Optionally surface recent releases so you can keep a fresh new-arrivals section in your store.
Volunteers join in seconds
No accounts to set up. Install the app, scan your store's QR code, and start scanning.
Almost no training
Scan a book and the app tells the volunteer exactly how to sort it.
Live help when you need it
A real person is on hand, by phone or in person, whenever your team needs one.
You set the rules
Choose your categories and the lowest price you'll accept. We never buy below it.
You keep the rest
We only buy the valuable books. Everything else stays on your shelves to sell as usual.
