Hmm…… so you own this riveting selection of books ……
Sprout’s
Daddy can take all the credit for these titles!
and
you need to fund the cost of moving house. What do you do?
SELL, SELL,
SELL!!!!
And of course the bonus of selling is that
you don’t end up having to pay for the pleasure of moving these items at a later date. In my book(!) that makes it a win
win situation.
Continuing with the theme of trying to rid
our house of as much junk as possible Sprout’s Daddy has set up a seller’s
account with Amazon in order to sell some of his books. It’s easy to do as you
simply login into your Amazon account and click Your Account in the right
hand corner of the screen. Then there is a box entitled Your Other Accounts where you can either choose Your Trade-in Account or the Sell your Stuff option.
Your Trade-in Account
Here you can trade-in books and video games
in return for a Gift Card to spend on whatever you like on Amazon. Helpfully, Amazon
also includes a list of your last few purchases so that you can easily trade-in
these items without having to search for them. Otherwise all you need to do is
search for your item by title, keyword or ISBN and click the Trade-in button.
Once your items are received and approved, the Gift Card will automatically be
added to your account.
Sell your Stuff
This option allows you to sell a wider
variety of items from older books, DVDs and electronics to DIY, and home and garden
items. Choose the product you want to sell, answer questions about its
condition, select your delivery method then list your item. Easy!
In the past, we’ve also had great success with
musicMagpie. This time you enter the barcode of a CD, DVD or Game you want to
sell and it will give you the trade-in price. You need to enter a minimum of 10
items to complete your trade-in. Sending your items is completely free and if
you're selling more than 25 items musicMagpie will send a courier to pick them up
for free.
Please bear in mind that just like ebay
you will have to pay fees whether they are incorporated into the trade-in price
or just a percentage of the price you sell the item for! However fees aside, the convenience of
selling from the comfort of your own home definitely makes me a convert!!
