Well, the original point of the site was to see how I could funnel crap in my life into money for investments…now it looks like i will be funneling the money I make into …. diapers. Yes, another kid on the way is more motivation to declutter my life and shove that excess savings into a 529 or into huggies stock. As if the economy wasn’t reason enough.
I have a TON of old books around my house, I go through fiction very quickly. I also have somehow held onto my undergraduate text books for a decade or so, and as a liberal arts major – I have a ton of books that no one wants to read – or so I thought. I realized there is a whole niche industry devoted to buying textbooks and a much smaller one unfortunately for used fiction. So in the past week I have tried out several sites and will post the reviews. I sold 64 books to textbooks.com, 50 books to powells.com, I instantly sold an item on half.com, and have sold an old digital camera on the old faithful, ebay.com.
Again, I continue to look for the easiest way to make the most amount of money – and i think indivually listing items on ebay is a good way to make yourself crazy.
Please let me know the outcome of this. I’m very interested.
