I love “lists” like this one. I had this site bookmarked for a while, but just re-discovered it. If you’d like to see a brief list of ways to make money on the internet - legitimately - then check out this post at Little Dumb Man!

Hey everyone…just wanted to pass this little tidbit along to you, and maybe you’ll be able to make a little money. After all, that’s what this site is all about!

As you all know, I am currently in college; and there is no better way to find some easy money than to sell your textbooks. Of course, to sell your books back to the school’s bookstore is the equivalent of lighting money on fire. If you bought a new book at the beginning of the semester for $100, you’d be lucky to get $30 when you sell it back to the bookstore.

Usually, the best way to go would be to post flyers around school (be sure to get permission if needed) with a list of the books you’re selling, along with your contact number and/or email address. You’ll almost always get more money selling directly to another student than selling back to the bookstore.

BUT, if you’re really just looking to get rid of those books, and don’t mind taking a little less money in return for less work, there are a ton of great online companies that will buy your books back from you right now. And to sweeten the deal even more, most will even PAY to have the book(s) shipped to them!!

It’s really a great way to find a couple extra bucks with very little effort. But a piece of advice - selling your books close to the start of a new semester (including summers!) will almost ALWAYS get you a better selling price from these companies. That means RIGHT NOW! So if you have some textbooks lying around, check out sites like http://www.collegetextbookbuyers.com (my personal favorite - and I’m making no commission for saying this!) and see how much $$$ they’ll pay you for those books.

Gotta love those little ways to make a couple bucks here and there.
