Living as a student can be a pretty expensive affair. There are countless nights out for dozens of non descript occasions, food to buy, rent to pay – not to mention text books to buy every term! If you’re sick of cutting corners with your spending and tired of eating pasta every night then we’re here to help!

We Buy Books have put together a few ingenious ideas to help you make some extra money on the side:

Sell Your Old Stuff:

We’re going to start with the most obvious here. If there is one thing students have in abundance it’s books, CDs, DVDs and Games! We’ve all got them laying around the house, but once you’ve read the books, watched the DVDs and burned the CD then what? They pretty much just lay there gathering dust and making the place look untidy.

We take your unwanted, rejected books, CDs, DVDs and Games and give you top dollar for them. It’s simple really – you don’t want them, we do and we’re prepared to pay for the privilege!

We have to mention that the amount of money we can pay you depends on the types of items you have to sell. We generally can’t offer as much money for popular titles as we can for rarer items/special editions/first editions etc – it stands to reason really so get searching for all those hidden jewels!

Once you’ve sold your old books, CDs, DVDs and Games and you still need some extra cash then why not try the following:

Get a part-time job

If you’re at university, chances are that you’re in a busy town or city with a number of bars and stores. These places rely on a constant stream of staff and are usually crying out for more staff.

Sell stuff you don’t want on eBay

Everyone hoards stuff that they feel emotionally attached to for some reason. Be brutally honest with yourself: Do you really need it? The only trouble is that it’s SO time consuming and you have to pay a percentage of your money to Paypal and eBay!

Become a mystery shopper

Large retail businesses need to know that they are providing the best experience for their customers – and this is where you come in! Mystery shoppers go in to stores and assess them based on any given number of factors: Cleanliness, staff helpfulness, etc.

So there you have it, We Buy Books top tips on how to earn a little extra cash on the side! So why not crack on and start looking for those books, CDs, DVDs and Games to sell.

At We Buy Books we pride ourselves in paying the very best prices for your old/unwanted books, CD’s and video games, as well as the simplicity of our service; from the initial valuation to the delivery of your money. We are well aware that however much this money comes in handy for all our customers, it’s not likely that you will be able to give up the day job from doing this alone. For anyone looking to really cash in, there is a way you can make even more money and that is to sell rare books.

We are always very interested in any rare books you might be looking to sell. In fact our ears prick up ever so slightly whenever we are offered anything that could be of real value. This is more than reciprocated by the customer when we tell them how much money we are willing to give them for any such item. Again, it’s not the kind of money where you can sell the house and move abroad with but you would be astonished by just how much you’re offered if you sell rare books to We Buy Books.

But what do we mean by rare books? Well in the literal sense, (pardon the pun) we’re talking about any book that you might think is difficult to track down, a book that may no longer be in print or first editions of books in any genre. They could be books that you have stumbled upon years ago and no longer want; alternatively it may be something handed down to you by a relative that you have no further use for.

Let’s not forget we are talking about books here; things left on shelves doing nothing but gathering dust or being occasionally looked at or skimmed through by visitors. Why not make yourself good money, sell rare books and send them to us? It’s basically free money for doing very little as all you need to do is head over to our website, type in the ISBN number and we will give you an immediate valuation, so you will know straight away how much your books are worth. We will provide you with a free pre-paid postage label which you attach to your books and send to us; once we have received them we’ll pay the funds into your account…simples!

If you think you may have some rare, first editions of books that you may not want and could do with some extra cash, sell rare books to We Buy Books – send them to us here and simply wait for the money to roll in.

Sell unwanted items, such as CD’s, Books and Video Games to We Buy Books and we’ll give you absolute top dollar for them.  Think of it as ridding yourself of things that you no longer want in order to be able to purchase the things that you need.  This could help towards paying the bills, putting towards the holiday fund or treating you and a loved one to a meal at your favourite restaurant, (you can actually do what you want with it, it’s your money and we won’t judge you for whatever you decide).

Just think of all the books, CD’s and games you have around the house at any one time, and you won’t even bother looking, listening or playing most of them.   It makes sense to cash in now because at We Buy Books we are the perfect place to sell unwanted items and receive darned good money in the process.  Of course there are other alternatives to We Buy Books but nothing matches the prices we offer or the ease in which you’ll receive your money.

We will give you an immediate valuation on all your unwanted items and it’s free to send them, (that’s right, no hidden fees), all you need to do is go to our website, type in the barcode and print off a free, pre-paid postage label and send it to us.  Once we have received your items we will immediately forward the money – the process is that quick you will barely have time to work out what you’ll spend it on!

Many of our customers are repeat sellers due to the fantastic prices we give for all the items we receive as well as the speed and efficiency with which we work.  If you want to sell unwanted items and get the very best prices then there really is only one place that you should go.

Picture the scene.  It’s Christmas morning and everyone is gathered around the tree handing the presents out.  You’ve desperately been wanting the latest Xbox game or your favourite band’s new release for ages and the tension is palpable. When you finally get your hands on it and hurriedly unwrap it like a…well a kid at Christmas, (bad analogy), your eyes gaze down at a biography of someone you’ve never heard of or a dvd of some ‘d-list’ celebrity laughing like an idiot over a compilation of football gaffes.

Obviously that is not meant as a slight on awful biographies or football compilations, what I am trying to get at is that over time we all receive xmas gifts that we either don’t want or don’t like but we smile politely, take them home and throw them somewhere where we never have to see them again.  Well here’s the thing; instead of throwing them away, why not salvage the situation by selling them to We Buy Books?

We are here to help you discard all your old and unwanted xmas gifts such as, books, cd’s, games and dvd’s, creating some much needed space around the house and making yourself a good bit of money in the process; money that you can put towards getting the dvd or game you wanted in the first place.

In what is the best ‘win – win’ situation since…sliced bread, (I know that doesn’t work but you know what I’m getting at) you get rid of the thing you don’t want, it takes literally minutes to do and you get the best price possible for your unwanted xmas gift.

As I mentioned above, the process itself is quick and simple.  All you need to do is head over to our website, type in the relevant bar code number and we’ll give you the price immediately.  If you’re happy with what we’ve offered you then simply send your unwanted xmas gifts to us and await your payment.

Of course the price you get ultimately depends on the condition of the item itself, which means that if you made a scene over Christmas by throwing a huge strop and repeatedly stamping on the pile of unwanted xmas gifts in question, the chances are you won’t get top whack for it.  You need to make sure the item is in halfway decent condition before you send it and then just sit back and wait for the money to arrive.  It’s a Christmas miracle!

As it stands now there are a number of places to sell books so that people can make a bit of extra money.  In the spirit of fairness we at We Buy Books are going to give you a head’s up on a few of them before, in the spirit of unfairness, we tell you that they are all rubbish and the way to make the most money from your old books is by using We Buy Books.  We are confident that the simple way in which we operate makes us the best, most convenient way for you to receive top whack for your books.

Other places to sell books include the trusty old car boot sale, which involves you going to a field in the middle of nowhere, ridiculously early in the morning that has been pelted by several inches of rain during the previous 48 hrs; meaning that it resembles a quagmire more than it does a place to buy and sell used items…and this is before you’ve even set your stall up!  You then spend the next 6 hours, freezing cold and miserable watching people walk past your stall offering you 25 pence for a copy of a book that you wanted at least a fiver for.  It involves a lot of hard, tedious work and the chances are you won’t get good value on any books you end up selling.  What you may end up with is severe cold or flu-like symptoms that mean you can’t go to work the following day, so you may even end up losing out.

Now that is obviously worse case scenario, but you have to ask yourself if it’s worth all the effort.  Other places to sell books include eBay.  Now I know what you’re thinking, how can you possibly find fault with one of the most popular websites in the world?  Well, eBay comes with its own set of problems; such as there being no guarantee that your books will sell at all.

Also, you have to pay for most items that you list and auctions can take around a week so you have to wait around hoping that your book will sell.

We believe that one of the simplest and most convenient places to sell books is at We Buy Books, where all these obstacles are eliminated as the process is quick, simple and you get an immediate value for the books you want to sell.  All you need to do is check out our website, type out the ISBN number written on the back and we’ll immediately give you the best price possible.  Should you choose to accept it, simply send us your books and we’ll get the money to you quick smart.  This means no pre-dawn get ups in minus temperatures to car boot sales or waiting a week on eBay only to find out that nobody is interested in any of the books you want to sell.

It’s coming up to that time of year again.  Loved by many, loathed by quite a few also, I am of course talking about Christmas.  This is the period where money seems to really matter the most and where most of us are frantically trying to make a little extra of it to really make the most of the holiday season.  At We Buy Books we have just the way for you to make some easy cash for Christmas by selling us all your old and unwanted books, video games, CD’s and DVD’s.

I know you must be waiting for the catch but there really isn’t one, (we’ve been doing this for a while and if there was a catch then we definitely would have seen it).  We can help you at this notoriously difficult time of year by giving you the very best price possible for things you no longer need.  Indeed it may not have even occurred to you that you can make plenty of extra cash for Christmas with things that are just lying around your house, but many people around the country have benefitted immensely by doing just that.

You’ve probably noticed but things don’t seem to be getting any cheaper.  At Christmas this is particularly evident as the price of buying presents for all your family and friends costs that much that you sometimes feel the need to take out a second mortgage, (not recommended), sell your car, (not recommended) or in some extreme cases sell a kidney, (definitely not recommended).  At We Buy Books we can ensure you don’t need to do anything as drastic as that.  All you need to do to make easy money for Christmas is have a quick look around the house for books, DVD’s, CD’s and video games and we’ll give you cash to treat yourself or that special someone.

I know full well how expensive college books can be and that their lifespan is very brief. After all, when the year is done you move onto new subjects that require new textbooks; in some cases you may only need them for a matter of months. The question is what to do with them when you no longer need them? If things haven’t gone well academically then you may be tempted to set them on fire but as a responsible person I have to warn you against that.

Sell college books to We Buy Books -  we can take your old college books off your hands and in return give you some cold hard cash. In what is a devilishly simple process you send us your books, we send you some cash and everyone wins. You get to de-clutter and have some extra cash in your back pocket while we ensure the books go to people who need them.

We have to point out that we’re not asking for any books that you’re still using, we’re strictly asking for the college books that you simply don’t need anymore. Last years textbooks for example that only gather dust but could instead go to a good home, (I know that makes this sound like an advert for Battersea dogs home but you get where I’m coming from).

If you are a typical student then your old college books will probably be neatly stored somewhere in your pristine, tidy student house, (sarcasm alert!) or being used as a makeshift placemat on which to rest your Pot Noodle, (that’s actually very stereotypical of me and I apologise…most of you will probably use coasters or magazines for that).

The fact of the matter is, as a student money is very difficult to come by. It just so happens that you, (or your Pot Noodle) might just be sat on a way of earning extra cash. College books are very valuable these days and we pay good money for every book we receive so students…stop stude-ing for a minute, or whatever it is you crazy kids call it nowadays, grab all your old college books and send them to us here at We Buy Books.

The money could come in very handy, either to buy more books for yourself, or perhaps be spent on more…leisurely pursuits. I’ll leave that up to you but whatever you do, don’t miss out on a chance to earn plenty of extra cash for doing nothing more than sending us your college books.

To sum up, sell college books that you no longer require to we buy books, we buy your unwanted books at the best prices in a process so simple it takes seconds.To sell college books at webuybooks.co.uk just follow 4 easy steps above.

This could be cash that comes in handy for holidays, in the lead up to Christmas or to take a loved one out for a romantic meal, (eeuugghh…get a room).  One avenue that many people don’t realise can be a good little earner is books.

We’ve all got them lying around the house, but once they have been read, then what?  They are pretty much redundant and if you have quite a few then they generally clutter the house up.  At We Buy Books we give you the chance to earn good money by doing nothing more than sending them to us!

We take all your unwanted books; from textbooks or medical books to limited editions or 1^st editions of your old favourites and give you the best price for them.  We do have to point out that the amount of money you receive from us depends on the type of books you choose to sell. So for example we can’t offer you as much money for popular titles by well known authors as we can for the rarer books on your shelves…it stands to reason really so get looking around for all those hidden gems.

It’s not just books that we buy, (don’t let the name fool you).  We’ll also take all your CD’s and video games off your hands and give you the same great prices that we do for your books.  As we purchase books, CD’s and games this means that pretty much everyone has the ability to earn a bit of extra cash to help towards whatever you need.

But why choose We Buy Books, (you might be saying out loud to yourself)?  For a start we are one of the only book buying sites to offer all payment methods, which makes it a far easier and more convenient process.  You can sell your books to us and choose to receive payment via cheque, PayPal or bank transfer, which is a real plus point for those that need money in a hurry.

For those that have only a few books to sell, we also have an incredibly low minimum order value of £15.  Add this to our voucher codes that increase your offer by 10%, (which you can find on our facebook and twitter pages) and you’ll see why We Buy Books is the best place to get the optimum value on any books you choose to sell.

Let’s not forget that these books are doing nothing more than sitting around your house or workplace.  Don’t ignore them any longer…make yourself some extra cash by selling them to We Buy Books!

This item developed as a result of us receiving your books and finding out that they weren’t exactly in the best of nick, resulting in us giving you less than we first thought.  We want you to get the price we offered to the penny, but in order for us to do so those books need to be in good shape.

Now I want you to all think back to last month’s blog where I opened by saying this will become a regular feature.  Can you all remember that?  Good, because I want you to forget everything I said on the matter as this is the final tip of what has been a truly epic series, (ok not quite ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘War and Peace’ epic, but epic in it’s own small, not particularly epic kind of way…I’ll move on).

Ok so tip number 3 involves mould…lovely.  Books become mouldy when they absorb moisture.  You can rejuvenate your musty, old books by sealing them overnight in a container filled with clean cat litter.  Yes, you read that right, cat litter!  Before I go any further I must emphasise the ‘clean’ part of the ‘clean cat litter’ bit of the sentence.  If it’s not clean, it won’t do the job and, well frankly it would just be unpleasant.

The thing with cat litter is that it is absorbent; so when it is placed in a sealed container with your books it will draw all the moisture out, leaving your books mould free.  This means that they are worth more when you sell them to the good folks here at We Buy Books.

That’s about it for the last tip, not a bad way to end the series.  Don’t forget, keep looking around the house for any books that you no longer have any use for and get them sent over to us.  If you keep sending them we promise to keep buying them.
