Amazon trade-ins - get a gift card for your stuff!

Did you know that you can trade in used books, movies, music, electronics and video games for gift card credit at Amazon.com?

I didn't until a few weeks ago! I was able to trade in a few DVDs for about $5.50 in credit, enough to get a  new-to-us used movie for free even with shipping! Someone with fairly new textbooks or unopened DVDs or popular books or video games could probably get a lot more credit than that. But, I am proof it does work. It's very easy and doesn't cost you a thing. You print out a pre-paid shipping label, send it off and then they let you know when they've received it and how much credit you have.

It's a good way to clear out old unused items and get new ones for your family or for gifts.

Give it a try!
