Easy Money for Bookworms!

In these tough ecomomic times, it's always good to have a few tricks up your sleve to (legally) give you a little more "walkin' around money." One of my favorites is to sell my recently-read books on Amazon Marketplace. It's a much easier setup than selling an item on ebay, for example. You set a price you think is fair based on the condition of your book and what other copies are selling for, you enter the ISBN number, and Amazon lets you know when it sells! All you really need is the ability to get to a post-office within two days of learning that your item has sold. Amazon puts money into your account every two weeks, and it's really a great system if you read books that are currently best-sellers. Although I keep most of my books after reading them, there are certain books that I'd rather get $5.00 or so for, rather than having them take up space on my shelf. That's $5.00 or so that I can put towards a new book!

So if you're a reader with limited bookshelf space or money, I recommend giving it a shot.
