Trade Your Old Books and DVDs at Bookins
Did you ever wish you could trade those books and DVDs that are sitting on your shelf collecting dust for something new? Maybe you want a book that was recommended by a friend or that cheesy movie that you haven't seen in ages. There is an online service that does just that for you, it's called Bookins and it finds old books and movies new homes.It works on a points system. Points are used to track the value of items you put into the system. For example, if you trade in a 10-point book you can get two 5-point books in return, or save up for a 20-point DVD, or any combination. The Bookins system automatically determines fair point values.
Now for the real question. How much does it cost? It's free to join but you do have to pay a flat rate of $4.49 when you receive an item. It cost you nothing when you trade your items. The charge covers shipping, order tracking and Bookins service charge. As a little extra measure of comfort if there is a problem with an item, such as a DVD that does not play, Bookins will replace it for no charge.
It makes no difference if you are a highbrow literary bookworm or a summertime trashy romance novel poolside reader. Out with the old and in with the new and do it all with out putting a scrap into the landfill. Click HERE to check it out.
