Hey there, bookworm. I see you’ve accrued quite the collection…
I get it. I’ve been there. Shelves upon shelves upon shelves. Storage boxes, shoe boxes, closets and stow-away nooks. Everywhere you turn in your home you’re met with covers stacked and lined among other covers; book spines and dog-eared pages galore.
You’ve successfully decorated your home with your favorite reads, your to-be-read, your collectable reads and of course, your sentimental reads. That’s not including the books that you’ve hidden away because when your second cousin, once removed, comes into town again you just *know* she’ll love them.
You have a library and it’s beautiful. It’s everything you want it to be. Not going to lie, I’m a little jealous.
But….only a little, and this post is to explain why.
Those lightly worn books getting zero use on your shelves? Those books are worth monies.
That’s right. I said the M word. Monies.
Cold. Hard. Cash. Money.
Chances are your local bookstore has an ad posted somewhere either inside their store or online telling you that they. want. your. used. books. And they’ll put cash in your hands for them!
BUT WAIT –
- What if I don’t live near a bookstore?
- What if my local bookstore isn’t accepting books at this time?
- What if my local bookstore DOESN’T even DO THAT and now I look silly, gee thanks, Paris!
- STICK WITH ME HERE.
Guess what, my silly looking friends?
I’ve got your covered.
Today, I’m going to share my #1 top secret on how to easily pocket some extra funds just by clearing out books you don’t even read anymore!
ThriftBooks.com
This is my all-time favorite quick-cash resource.
Thrift books has a program called BuyBack where they make the process of exchanging your books for monies an absolute breeze. Just hop on their website, fill out the form (including a list of books you intend to send), print a FREE shipping label, pack your box and send it off.
Give them a few days to receive and process your books and they’ll PAY YOU VIA PAYPAL or (even better) they’ll credit your ThriftBooks account so that you can further fuel your reading addiction without breaking the bank or overloading yourself with clutter.
