ValoreBooks with
the exception of buying back
iPads
and iPhones. You enter the same ISBN into their search engine and have
access to 43 vendors that are buying. You find the one with the highest
payment, send your items in with the free shipping label, and get paid
by PayPal or a check.

buy back textbooks. You enter the ISBN you want to
sell into their search engine.
The difference with Barnes & Noble is that you must have at least $10 in sales to
make a transaction. They also only accept books from the United States.

buy
textbooks. Simply get a quote by entering the ISBN, ship your books
with the prepaid shipping label, and receive a check or money into your
PayPal account. They also only take books from the United States and
payment is approximately 13 days.

ship your books, and wait for your payment.

seller where you are able to
sell you clothing as well. How it works is that the clothing

sell designer items from your closet. Like

that you are secure in all of the transactions and they review all
items to protect the buyer as well.

buy
electronics like iPhones, tablets, etc. When it sells, you get a
shipping kit to return the item, which is free and insured. You
are paid within three days of delivery via the
Glyde account. You may take money out via
Bitcoin or by check, which has a $2 fee.
Amazon
Amazon takes a variety of products on their site that
can be
resold such as books and movies. You list your item for sale and once
it sells, you ship it out to the customer, similar to how eBay works.
For an individual
seller, the fees are 99 cents for each item sold and a flat percentage. This
is taken out of your final price.
Letgo
Letgo
is an app you get for your Smartphone where you list an item for sale
within 30 seconds. The categories include cars, electronics, cars, and
more - similar to that other famous auction site, except mobile. The
major difference is that you
sell in your neighborhood area so it
is limited to larger cities, for the most part. It is 100% free to use so you are dealing directly with the buyer.
Now
you have a few choices in making extra cash without leaving your home
or doing anything other than getting rid of a few unwanted items.
