Store Description

B�cher kaufen und verkaufen an einem Ort, schnell und ohne Aufwand ? so lautet unser Bookbot Erfolgskonzept. Mit unserem innovativen Konzept machen wir mit Bookbot den Online-Buchhandel nachhaltiger und bringen hochwertige, gebrauchte B�cher antiquarisch in den Umlauf. Mit der Leidenschaft f�r B�cher, dem Wunsch ihren Lebenszyklus zu verl�ngern und dabei gleichzeitig die Umweltbelastung zu reduzieren, hat Dominik Gazdo? Bookbot gegr�ndet. Im klaren Fokus stehen dabei Kundenkomfort und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Unsere Plattform verspricht Leser*innen eine breite Auswahl sowie einen sicheren Kaufprozess. Von Bestsellern �ber Klassiker bis hin zu Nischenliteratur bietet wir auch lesefreudigen �sterreicher*innen eine wahre Schatzkiste zu fairen Preisen. Im Gegensatz zu herk�mmlichen Verkaufsplattformen gehen wir einen Schritt weiter, indem wir den gesamten Verkaufs- und Versandprozess �bernehmen ? angefangen beim professionellen Abfotografieren der B�cher bis hin zur Ermittlung eines fairen Preises sowie der Kommunikation mit potenziellen K�ufer*innen. Verk�ufer*innen schicken lediglich ihre Buchsch�tze an uns und warten, bis diese neue Besitzer*innen finden und das Entgelt bei ihnen eintrudelt. Die breitgef�cherte Auswahl an Buch-Genres reicht von Klassikern, Bestsellern �ber alte Sch�tze und kultigen Comics bis hin zu Fachpublikationen. Wir bieten hunderttausende Titel aller Genres in vielen Sprachen, meist in perfektem Zustand an. Bei �lteren oder besch�digten B�chern finden sich online detaillierte Bilder des Zustands auf unserer Website. Wir sind stolz, bereits 200.000 gl�ckliche Bookbot-Kund*innen an Bord zu haben und bieten damit eine breite Community an vielen potentielle K�ufer*innen. Nach gelungenen Markteintritten in Tschechien, Deutschland und der Slowakei, sind wir nun auch in �sterreich t�tig.
