Judging a book by its cover.

If you're like me, then the new year is causing some vague itchy feelings of guilt and shame when you look at your filthy, crap-piled-up post-holiday dwelling, and some nebulous plans to "straighten things up." If your bookcase (or ten-foot-tall-stack teetering next to your bed) is in need of some pruning, try selling them off at Cash4Books.net.

The process is straightforward: first, enter your books' ISBNs (above the bar code) to find out how much they'll pay. It looks like they're more textbook-oriented, but recent examples of prices show that they pay about $1-3 for fiction. Submit your order and they'll give you a prepaid postage label to affix to your parcel. Then, just pack up your books and send them off, and within 3 business days after they receive your books, they'll cut you a check or credit your Paypal account (you get a 3% bonus for using Paypal). Easy, right?

I haven't tried it yet myself, but am planning to run some titles through their pricing widget soon to see what I can get. Having someone pay ME to conveniently make my unwanted junk disappear is like unicorn magic!
