Turn Your Clutter Into Cash!

By Jennifer Koretsky of ExperiencingADDvantages and ADDmanagement.com.

Most Americans accumulate books and CDs, but many adults with ADD are plagued by the endless clutter that these items create. 

Books on the shelves, in the closets and in the basement that were (maybe) read once and forgotten about. CDs in the rack, in the car and under the couch that make you cringe when you look at them  because you can't believe you actually listened to that music at one point.  These items clutter your home, collect dust, and annoy the hell out of you...yet you can't seem to throw them out!

Well, there is a solution to this problem!  Did you know that there are websites that will purchase your old books and CDs?  And it's really easy, too!

To make money on your old books, visit TextBooksRUs.com. Gather up all those old books (they need not be textbooks) and enter their ISBNs.  (An ISBN is a numeric code above the bar code on each book that identifies it.)  The site will then tell you which books they will accept and how much they are offering you.  You then print out a prepaid shipping label, box up your books, and deliver them to the post office.  In my experience, there are very few books that they don't accept. 

To make money on your old CDs, visit SecondSpin.com.  They also accept DVDs.  The process is similar: look up the CDs by name or UPC, see what is accepted and how much they are offering you.  Choose a payment method, pack up your stuff, and send it off.  Most CDs won't sell for much, but if you have a lot of stuff to get rid of, it adds up!  Unlike TextBooksRUs, SecondSpin doesn't pay for shipping, but sending your package "media mail" won't cost much.

Do yourself a favor and get paid to get rid of the clutter!

Hey Jen, thanks for the link, I usually try to sell the Books on Amazon, but you can't really make a profit if the book goes for under $1, the one's that don't make the cut I usually give away, Maybe with TextBooksRUs, there's some profits to be made =]
