Is anyone out there suffering from the post holiday spending blues? If so, you may be looking for ways to make some extra cash to recover after the extra holiday spending. For today’s Money Making Monday post, I would like to start a short series entitled “Secrets to Finding Hidden Cash in Your House”. In this series, I will share with you a few ways I have found to turn unused household items into extra dollars.

The quickest and easiest household item I have found to sell is books. You might be saying, “I thought only text books can make money on resale, and I am not a college student, so I don’t have anything to sell.” Good news: there is a website that buys all types of books, and it is cash4books.net.

Here is what I love about this site:
-They accept all kinds of books, not just textbooks.

-Their site comes highly recommended for other bloggers (including moneysavingmom).

-It is a safe company; they are accredited by the Better Business Bureau

-They make shipping fast, easy, and free. They provide you with a shipping label to print, and they provide user-friendly instructions on packing and shipping.

-Their prices are competitive.

-They buy your books straight up. It is less hassle than sites like Ebay, where you have to wait on a seller.

-Their payment options are flexible. They offer a pay pal or check payment option.

I have found this to be an easy way to make some extra cash, and de-clutter by getting rid of books I don’t use. I hope you enjoy!
