What Our Users Say

"Fair and very transparent"

Big family of readers decided to downsize and clear our shelves. Didn't want to just toss what we loved. We looked at quite a few options and landed on Thryft because they seemed to share our love of books and, especially, because they looked well organised.

We weren't disappointed. They were clear about their policies and procedures. When we had questions, we got quick responses. Their pickup person was prompt.

We donated some books and traded others in. Total of over a dozen boxes. They must have some algorithm for trade-in value because some books that we thought might be valuable, weren't and other titles that we didn't think were worth much were. Point being that their process of valuing trade-ins seems fair and it is very transparent.

The prices on their website look fair as well. We're looking forward to spending our trade-in coupon.

"Great place for avid book readers"

Great place for avid book readers who have too many old books on their shelves to trade in for other books to replenish your shelves with (for free too with the trade-in credits you get). I've bought books from them on 5 separate occasions (one of them being at the book fair, which was a fun experience too!) and they all came without a hitch. Also, they offer a rewards program which allows you to earn points with each purchase that can go towards off-setting future purchases.


All in all Thryft is a great place for avid readers and I'd highly recommend them!
