9- Amazon Buy Back Program


I got an e-mail from Amazon announcing that they will buy back used books. Here it is:

++++++++++
Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Customers who purchased books from Amazon.com may be interested in an easy way to get great prices for used titles through our Book Buyback Store.
++++++++++

So I took them up on that offer. I went to their site, clicked on:

shop books
then textbooks
then textbook buyback.

then I entered my books on the search line. they accepted 15 of our books and they'll send me $52 gift card and pay the shipping. These were books that were already in the "Donate to Salvation Army" box.

I had other books that they would not buy back. Either very popular one's or very old ones. This looks like a win-win deal for everyone. I guess I could have maybe gotten more for these if I were to have sold them on either e-bay or half.com but this worked out as a good, no hassles, ship-it-once deal. I guess the others will still get trucked down to the Salvation Army store to be sold to someone else and enjoyed.

Sounds like a good plan. I may give it a try, too.
