Thursday Book Babble: Cash4Books

If you're like me, you have more books than you need. (Granted, we don't always need books, but we like to have them surrounding us in the home.) But sometimes, we need to get rid of a few old books to make shelf space for new library additions, or, we bought the books (like texts) for a specific reason and really can't use them any more. That's where the group Cash4Books comes in.

Cash4Books will pay you for your used books. Check out their website for all the details. They've got some easy ways to tell them what you have to sell, including apps for SmartPhones that save you the hassle of entering information. A few years ago, I made a tidy sum selling Cash4Books some extra volumes I no longer needed. See if they can help you out, too. Pass their URL along to students. Students are always looking for ways to sell textbooks and make a little extra money.

Cash4Books actually sent me a five dollar check once, because I referred someone to their site and that person ended up being a seller. Go to the site to find out what their current offers and programs are. Good luck making space for new stuff, and saying goodbye to the old books, knowing that you'll be paid for your books and they'll find a new home.
