If you’re a student who needs extra money, you have an option to sell your textbooks for cash. But what if you do not want to waste time selling your old textbooks or they are so outdated that doesn’t have any buyback value? It can be easier to give them away instead. Although we’ve talked about what to do with old textbooks before, we’ve never focused solely on the topic of donating them. It’s time we give this subject the attention it deserves.
We’ve already told you where to donate used books. But what about textbooks? There’s a difference. While a 1970 edition of Pride and Prejudice or a 1977 edition of Children Of Dune will always be welcome at any donation center, a heavily used copy of a college textbook like Airport Engineering (1984) might not be suitable for some organizations due to its outdated content.
Understanding the weight of books is more important than it might seem at first glance.

Picture this: You find yourself surrounded by an impressive collection of books, unsure of your next steps as you simply have no clue what to do with old books.
You can be a voracious bibliophile, a habitual book collector, or you can be just looking to declutter your room and make room for new reads, it’s apparent that donating your used books can be immensely rewarding.
In addition, donating books reduces waste and promotes sustainability by giving them a second life. As a result, instead of letting your books collect dust on shelves or, worse, become debris in a landfill, you’re extending their lifespan.

Reselling items is one of the largest side hustles people start, and many turn it into their full-time income. When you resell items, you either sell items you bought and can sell for a profit or used items with value. Either way, the bottom line is the same – you make money online.
One key factor when starting any reselling business is understanding the resale value. Not all products are worth the same amount, and some may not be worth selling. However, once you understand the importance of it, you can start almost any reselling business.
