I can remember when I was packing finding books and notes that I had looked for years ago that I ended up googling because that was faster/easier.Bstar0306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-18953413655699310212012-02-27T21:41:15.399-05:002012-02-27T21:41:15.399-05:00I have heard that you can make decent money if you...I have heard that you can make decent money if you know what kind of books to look for and then resell them online, but I've never had any kind of fancy phone that could help me. You are right though, if I checked copyright dates and found something fairly recent, that would probably work!Mandi @ Catholic Newlywedhttp://catholicnewlywed.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-17831968510976147332012-02-27T21:39:34.352-05:002012-02-27T21:39:34.352-05:00Thanks, I worked really hard on it!

Yeah, I've sold a few of my textbooks but it seemed like they were already an "out of date" edition by the time I was done with most of them, so I ended up donating a few. I kept most of my education ones though because they had a lot of suggestions to use in the classroom...who knows if I'll ever use them though. I'm thinking of trying to get money for some of them while I can - I could always buy newer, up-to-date ones later if I REALLY need them.Mandi @ Catholic Newlywedhttp://catholicnewlywed.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-16011960254582888402012-02-27T15:04:13.572-05:002012-02-27T15:04:13.572-05:00I sold all my college books online.

The books I couldn't get any money for I never could figure out amazon so I just sent them to a program I found that is always looking for books to help reduce illiteracy. I love this series to see what other people are doing.<br />P.S. Mandi I LOVE your new header!

Tip: If you go to yard sales or book sales, watch for inexpensive textbooks. I think that this is best accomplished by having a book scanner or smartphone to check prices with, but if a textbook is only a year or two old, it's probably still worth enough to make it worth your time. I have never run into any problem selling directly to buyers, while making more money than I would have with the buyback program. I've also had excellent success selling items on eBay, although I'm only comfortable selling items that I would lose a very minimal amount of money on (worse case scenario), with the current eBay buyer protection policy and PayPal controversy.
