Have you ever gathered up all your used books and taken them to the used bookstore only to find that they are only worth about $3.00? Well, guess what there is another way to get value from your used books.  I just read about this trading post on the Web for book lovers.

Here is the story. Dianne Denton used to cart stacks of used books to her local book exchange in Chicago, where she only got some loose change for all that work. Her frustration inspired her to launch Novel Action, an online clearinghouse where memebers can send their old books and receive an equal number of used books in return. Or they can bank their “book bucks” for later.

Memebership costs $25.00 a year and customers pay a $4.80 flat-rate shipping charge for up to six pounds of books. The site has a virtual scale on which users can weigh books in their shopping cart. You can keep the books forever if you want or you can trade them back for new ones.

Your books have to be in good condition and can be really outdated. One user said they figured their average cost was about $1.50 per book. If you have been to a used bookstore lately you know you can’t find many books for that price plus with online book exchange you don’t waste any gas driving back and forth.



Here are some more book swapping sites:

www.novelaction.com

www.paperbackswap.com

www.titletrader.com (books, movies and CDs)

www.bookins.com (books and DVDs)

If you are a college student and need to sell back books at the end of the year, there is a better option than selling them back to the school bookstore. Sellbackbooks.com makes it simple, fast and profitable for you to sell books. You don’t want to be stuck with old textbooks on your shelf that you are never going to open again, so get rid of them! SellBackBooks.com makes it easy to sell used college books online for more money than your campus bookstore will pay! You simply enter the books ISBN, click search to see their offer and if you decide to sell to them - they pay the shipping. Couldn’t be easier.
