It is the digital age…does anyone still listen to CDs? Read bound books? Watch DVDs?
The answer is yes, and you can sell those unwanted items online, and the companies who purchase the items even pay for your shipping!
The more obscure your item, the more you will be paid. That means the mainstream movies, CDs and books will not pay as much, if at all. But if you have some of the more rare media items they can be worth some cash.
CDs & DVDs – sell these on Decluttr. You can download the app and scan the UPC codes or simply go to your desktop and enter in the codes to find out what they will pay you. Then print the packing list and label, drop off at UPS, and the money goes to your paypal or direct deposit when they receive the items. Easy Peasy! And yes, this is not a typo: Decluttr.com (they evidently lost an “e” somewhere). They will also buy your used tech if you have any and I found the best price on an unlocked cell phone there when mine was stolen.
Books: There are two different sites that find buyers for your books. BookScouter.com and Bookfinder.com. I like Bookscouter for their app that allows me to scan books at thrift stores. I once walked into the Goodwill outlet and made 195.00 in 10 minutes when I found 4 textbooks on agriculture worth almost $200. I recommend you download the app for research.
From my destop I prefer bookfinder.com which shows all the buyers and their minimums. They vary from $5 to $15. However they dont show Powells.com, which purchased mainly fiction so you will have to also enter the books there as well if you have mainly fiction.
So start selling the media in your home, and if you are a thrifter, find media to sell online. You can always post your media on Ebay and Amazon and make more money, but I am a big fan on the quick turnaround and not having a huge inventory in product. Either way, it is $$ in your pocket!
