What to do with all those DVD, CDs, Video Game and Books your Child has out grown?

If you are like me I am sure you have a junk draw full of old electronics. Do you also have a box from the last time you cleaned your child's room out full of video games, DVDs and CDs that they no longer plays with or wants. I do or I should say I used to. Now I have decided instead of holding on to all of that STUFF and allowing it to collect dust I am going to try and make some money off of it. Know yes I could have a garage sale, but I live in the boonies and there is no way I would get any traffic for that. Yard sales just do not do well in my town. So I decide to find another way. I was just sure there was another way. You will not believe what I found out.

Did you know that there are some really great companies out there that would love to buy all your old books, movies, cd's, video games and electronic from you? It is so simple to do you will me amazed.

There are companies like musicMagpie who will purchase your DVD, CD's and Games from you. It is so easy to use. You just go to their site and enter in the UPC or you can even use your webcam to scan the bar code. This is a blessing in my house. I feel like we are always buying a new game. Once my son beats a game that is it, he is done and on to his next adventure or new game I should say. So instead of these games sitting on his self I can sell them to help pay for his next game.

Also on Amazon you can sell all those books that you have read several times. Yes I like to reread books. You never know what I might have missed the first time and sometimes I feel like I can look at the story different the second time. I have been wanting to clean my book shelf off for awhile now. This would be a great way to sell some of my books so I can buy some different ones. Also a great way to take some of my son's books that he has out grown and purchase some new ones for him to read.

Gazelle is also great place were you can resell your old cell phone. I have boys and they seem to always want a different phone. So of course I have alot I mean alot of old cell phones just sitting around collecting dust. Thanks to Gazelle I can sell them my old electronics and they will send me money for it.

All three companies are great and would be such a help in so many ways. De-clutter you house a bit. Sell your old stuff to help cut the cost of the new stuff. Most of all I might gain a empty draw if I finally get that junk draw cleaned out. So off I go to find my old stuff to sell. I just know that my son have a ton of DVD and games he does not want anymore.
