You know, we frequently have real money, just sitting on a shelf. We just don’t always think about it.
Imagine those two eyes on the stack of bills, on your shelf right now, staring at your back!!!!
Yes that commercial creeps me out too!!!
My Money Blog, had this post about Bigwords.
Bigwords is a textbook buying aggregator. You fill in the info about your books-ISBN number and condition, and it let’s you know which textbook buying site is offering the best price for that item.
Now, even if you don’t have textbooks to sell, you should go look at the website-it has to be eligible for the top-ten ugliest websites on the planet! Maybe that is on purpose-not looking corporate when you are dealing with college students may be a plus.
Now a lot of you, are like me. You spend all that time reading and studying text books. So you think-”maybe I will need to look something up in it one day”. So up it goes on the shelf, never to be looked at again.
I don’t know about you, but when I need to look something up now, I go to the computer and google it or look at medical websites.
I had an old huge Pathology text from second year-it was used for years as a booster for my kids to sit on at dinner when they grew out of the high-chair-I thought that was an appropriate use-right under the diaper!!!
I did plug in an old Williams Obstetrics, 2001 edition that was on my shelf to see what Bigwords would say about it. I figured there would be no market for a book this old. Textbook sites were willing to pay between two and four dollars for it, with free shipping. The same books were priced on Amazon and other places for about $14 bucks on average.
So maybe I will clean off some of my shelf-space too!
So go sell those books, before they get too old to be worth anything. Remember to decide what you will do with your new wad of cash before you get it. Plan Your Spending-That is what Millionaire Nurses do!
