BOOKS: Books can be an excellent purchase from Goodwill especially with how cheap you can snag them for. My local Goodwill every Wednesday through Friday has a book sale, which allows you to buy 10 books with a certain color tag for $0.15 a piece if you purchase all 10. All you need to do with books is look them up on Ebay and see if that book sells often and for more than a couple dollars. I'll post a couple that I was able to sell and let you know what I did with the rest of them. (Books are heavy but are very cheap to ship. USPS has what is called media mail where books are shipped extremely cheap.)

College writer's text book: $9.99

Older psychology book: $4.99 (already deleted the listing for this one sorry!)

$0.15 + $0.15 = $0.30 spent

$4.99 + $9.99 - $0.30 - seller's fees = ~$13.00 profit

The rest of the books that I guest might be worth something (I look for text books or books with recent publishing dates)

$1.30 spent

Brought the other eight books to my local half-priced books store. Was given $11.00 dollars for the remaining books.

$11.00 - $1.30 = ~$9.70

$9.70 + $13.00 = $22.70 total profit

It may seem like profit is slow but after I purchase the items and list them there is no action required of me besides placing it in a box or envelope and ship it at the post office on my lunch breaks at work.


I made about 70 ~ 80 dollars my first week of shopping! Stay tuned!
