How I earned $200 from doing nothing

My Amazon.com trade in program was a success!  In fact, they actually upgraded the status of a number of my DVDs - thus earning me more money.  My Amazon.com account now has a balance of $177.00 and I have much more (and greatly needed) room on my bookshelves.  I also have the option of trading in my Swagbucks for an additional $25 in Amazon.com credit.  This money allows me a lot of freedom.  I can save it for Christmas, use it to fund upcoming birthdays, or treat myself to a new handbag or Kindle Fire.  Suffice to say that for now it's just sitting there (and the balance never expires.)

If you want to take advantage of this great program, it's easy - and best of all - free!

• Go to www.amazon.com
• You will need to log into your account.  If you don't have one, you can create one for free.
• Once you have logged in, click on the "Your Amazon Trade-In Account" link listed on the right hand side.
• Click on the "Trade-In Store" link that best describes your item (Book, DVD, etc...)
• Look up your item (by ISBN or title)
• Select the condition of your item (good, like new, brand new)
• Continue process until all your trade-ins are selected
• After your items have been submitted for trade in, print out your packing slip and pre-paid shipping label
• Box up your items, place the packing slip on the inside, and tape the label to the outside
• Drop off at your local UPS or USPS location
• Wait for your money to appear!  (Typically 7-10 days after shipping)
• If for any reasons your items aren't accepted, they will send them back to you free of charge!  Really you have NOTHING to lose by doing this.
