    Webuybooks is another one to use for textbooks. I have read good things about them, never actually used them myself. Although i have signed up, not actually added any book IEMB (or something!!) numbers into the site yet. Another thing I said I would do and haven't gotten round too :o

    You could try dog walking in your spare time?

    Swagbucks, I can refer you so I get extra points :beer: People on the up your income board are earning £25 of amazon vouchers a month, or you can get money into paypal, but I think it works out you get more for your points getting the amazon vouchers. You could buy bday/xmas presents with this though, and keep the cash you would have spent to pay the debt.

    Erm.... Use coupons and vouchers to get money off things, put that money by into a savings pot?

    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    Good luck in your quest

  • Hey zepsgal!

    Never heard of WeBuyBooks before, thanks! What's SwagBucks? ***just looked - seems interesting***

    If I double up my Tesco clubcard vouchers for clothes I can put that cash to one side!

    I'd LOVE to do dog walking! 24.gif I'll have to have a think about how I could find folks that need it.

    @Starbrite - Cheers! Perfect timing eh!

    ENTER SOME COMPETITIONS

    either to win cash or items you can sell easily

    There's a COMPETITIONS TIME forum on this very site for a start.

    I'll gladly give any help/advice I can.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!

    Amazon is good for old DVD box sets as well. I've sold a few books but now that postage is so expensive you have to make sure you get a reasonable price. If you're only going to get less that £1 for the book it's not worth.

    Good luck!!

  • Well first item done on the list today! Music Magpie DVDs & a few CDs & PS3 games a grand total of £102. That's my first 1% done plus an extra £22 change! :T
  • A handful of books go off to Zapper.co.uk & some textbooks go to Fatbrain.co.uk

    I have to say Zapper took the ones no one wanted, even DVDs that Music Magpie rejected! Also FatBrain seems to be very fussy but pays around £4 per book! Worth an hour or so!

    Another £27.02 raised! Well done me!

    Ebay listing tomorrow. Got 6 items to list. Hopefully I'm expecting 2 or 3 lots of £80. A few more percent chipped away! Yippee!

    How about using cashback sites e.g. Quidco and topcashback to your list? I make a few hundred a year on there.

    Also Dooyoo and Caio for reviews.
    Doing most on Dooyoo and if you don't mind writing regular reviews and rating others you ca make a good bit - eiher redeem in sach (once you get to £50) or as vouchers.
    I've had £40 vouchers this year and £50 in cash on its way so am really pleased - takes a bit of effort though.
