All of us have times in our lives when we need to make some quick cash, but we’re not really sure how to do it. Interestingly enough, the one option that many of us overlook is selling some of the items in our house (or office or dorm room) that we no longer use; items like our old books, for instance.
Although thanks to the progression of technology (which brought us things like e-books, Kindles and Nooks), hardback and paperback books are not as much in high demand as they used to be. However, as long as there are people around who love to read, there will always be individuals who still enjoy reading (dare we say it?) the old-fashioned way. So, if you have some old books and you’d like to earn some money from them, we have five tips on how you can get the most money for them below:
Examine your books thoroughly. Like most used things that are put on the market, people don’t want a book that is extremely worn. When it comes to books specifically, this would mean ones that are marked up, highlighted or with pages that are crumpled, ripped or torn out. So, make sure that whatever books you want to sell that you inspect them to make sure they are as “like new” as possible.
