In a previous post, I wrote about reading books. Incidentally, here I will be talking about selling your books. I told you, I read a lot. Most of the books I purchased in recent years were not actually brand new. I bought these from online auctions and second hand bookstores. It’s cheaper. Besides, I am after the content.

Some of these books are paperback novels and graduate study textbooks, of which after use or reading take up space in my bookshelves. These books could be considered space waster in my home office but would be a real treasure to some out there. So, why not sell them. A few bucks would be a lot in times like these.

You can sell textBooks online easily and conveniently nowadays. Selling your used or read books online could be an alternative source of income. As I have said, a few bucks from this sale mean a lot. It is not only a great way to get most of what you paid for your books back, but you’re sharing to your potential buyers the opportunity to learn and you earn a little on the side. With little effort and initiative, you can even collect or buy these used books from your friends or relative for a decent price and then sell them online for profit.

These ‘crunch’ times are here to stay longer than we expected. In fact, if you’ve read the business headline, US congress rejected the proposed government bail-out initiative for financial institutions. The stock exchange plummeted immediately in response. Surely, any means to add on our meager income is desirable, if not, badly needed.
