De-clutter and get some money from your books

If you are like me you probably have a ton of books taking up room on the bookshelves You maybe read them once and haven’t touched them since. Well, de-clutter, get rid of those books, and make some extra cash.

There are lots of places you can sell your books.



  • Half Price Books
    • You go into the store will all your books, wait a few minutes, and they will offer you a price at which they will buy all of your books. This is super easy, but they often don’t pay you very much.
  • Half.com
    • At Half.com you decide how much you want to sell your books. There is no fee to list them. They just take % at the end when you have sold the book. You have to list each one separately, which can be time consuming. You also have to ship each book within a certain number of days after purchase. The buying pays for a set amount of shipping, but sometimes shipping cost are more than what half.com has estimated, so you have to pay the extra cost.
  • Amazon
    • Amazon is very similar to Half.com. You decide the price, and Amazon takes a cut of the final sales price. It is free to list, but there is a 6 to 15 percent commission, a variable closing fee, and a $0.99 per-transaction fee are applied when a sale occurs. Oh, and you can sell other things besides books as well.
  • Cash4Books
    • Enter the ISBNs of good condition books then they will give you a price quote and you can decide whether or not to accept it. They pay for shipping. Very easy, but can be time consuming entering all the ISBNs.
