It’s a bit of a horrifying experience the first time you walk into a college bookstore. I remember the first time saying to myself, “You want a $145 for that?” To say I felt ripped off is an understatement, which is why this side hustle I’m about to share is all the more delicious.

I’ve written previously about how I sell used books online for extra money (“How to Become a Used Book Hunter“), but that involves going to garage sales every weekend and sweating the summer heat. Today I’m going to show you how tobuy textbooks online at sites like Ebay, and then how to resell them online for a profit. Consider it my sweet revenge against the bookstores that overcharged me as a college student. 

Here’s how to do it…

There’s a handy little tool I use to make this work at RentScouter.com. Their site will let you plug in a book’s ISBN number (right next to the UPC) and then it will tell you how much the book is worth and which buyback company will give you the most money. I use this tool before buying a book to make sure that there is a company willing to pay more for the book than what the Ebay seller is charging.

Let me give you a couple of examples I found this week…

Here is a screenshot of an auction that just closed for the book “Fundamentals of Physical Geography.” It was sold for $52.50 (plus $3.99 for shipping) giving the buyer a total cost of $56.49. Using the tool at Rent Scouter, I see that Moola4Books.com is paying $61.25 for the same book and they will cover the cost of shipping if I send it to them, giving me a profit margin of $4.76.

Also on Rent Scouter, it shows that Amazon’s buyback program would be willing to give me a $71.77 Amazon gift card for this book. Amazon’s program also comes with free shipping so I would profit a $15.28 gift card. Not too bad!

Here’s another one:

After shipping charges, this book cost the buyer $37.11. Rent Scouter shows that it could be traded in for a $41.26 Amazon gift card, giving me a profit of $4.15.

As you can see the profit margins aren’t huge on a single book, because there are several other Ebayers playing this trade-in game. However, if you can average a $5 profit margin on each book, you only need to buy 5 books everyday to pocket an extra $750 dollars each month! Considering there over a million textbook auctions on Ebay right now, it shouldn’t be too hard to find 5 books a day to resell.

If you do decide to sell textbooks for cash, there are a couple of things you need to remember:

• Be sure to check the condition of the book before buying it. Most buyback companies expect a little wear and tear, but if there are ripped pages or severe damage to the cover, they probably won’t accept your book.
• Pack your books carefully. Most buyback companies will give you a prepaid shipping label, but you are responsible for your own packaging. If the books are damaged during transit, you’ll have to eat the loss.
• Be careful of payment fees. If you are offered the choice of a Paypal payment or a check payment, keep in mind that if you choose Paypal, you will need to deduct those fees from your profit margin.

Good Luck Penny Hoarders!

I easily found these three articles within 10 minutes of looking around.  I see this as motivation that  making cash from cell phones  Is not just a flash in the pan thing.....people are doing it everywhere

Here is a great way to put it

"If you have old phones, why not turn them into a tidy profit? Don’t just let them sit around your house getting older and more obsolete- list them online, and find someone who’s willing to take them off your hands. With a little bit of work, you can get rid of your old phones, and get a decent amount of money with no hassle, no scams, and no problems."

This is definitely becoming a well know and super easy way to make extra money so read up and get to it!

Apple iPhone 4S review

Here it is, the apple iPhone 4S.

I have to admit I really like the Apple iPhone 4S. As far as usability goes, this phone is the easiest to use that I have ever owned. I struggled using the BlackBerry and had a hard time finding buttons to close out apps. I even had to tell people to stop calling me or texting me because I couldn't figure out how to use a BlackBerry phone LOL. The Apple iPhone 4S has made it easier to get your phone from the start and use it right away. The functions are self-explanatory, I didn't even read the user manual and I started using the phone right away. For this fact alone, this cell phone is a winner in my book. The technology of Siri is unbelievable it makes everything simpler and makes for a hands-free using experience. If you're looking for a new cell phone, I would highly recommend checking out the Apple iPhone 4S.

Staggering numbers

I just read this fact today

The average American gets a new mobile phone at least once every 18 to 24 months. That averages out to 34 phones during a lifetime if you purchased your first phone starting at the age of 18, staggeringly there are many kids who have them even younger.
