Kind of like Music Magpie for books - earn Amazon gift cards

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trade-In/b/ref=amb_link_162039947_3?ie=UTF8&node=440443031&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=hero-quick-promo&pf_rd_r=1JR0M6JH958SQMW3HEG0&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=265476627&pf_rd_i=0718154568

So you see if Amazon will accept the books you're wanting rid of, and then they'll send you a prepaid label so you can send them off to Amazon...you'll then get a gift card in return. Sounds good...

    I did a trade on Amazon a few weeks ago and it was very straightforward, they pay for the postage and I received my Amazon voucher by email promptly.

    This is only for textbooks though I think, not any other books. They also do trade in for video games, not checked how competitive their prices are.

    They do normal books too but all the ones I traded in only got 25p for each one so it's a bit rubbish.

  • No, it's not a referral link I posted. As far as I'm aware, there isn't a referral scheme for this, besides which I've been here long enough to know and abide by the forum rules. ;)

    and normal amazon referal ("assoisiate") links codes don't look like that, they usually have 'name'-21 in the link.

    I am not aware they pay any sort of flat rate for 'normal' books. According to the trade in page they still only take textbooks:

    although text books does seem to cover any sort of non fiction

    If you have a book that isn't a mass market paperback I would try marketplace first. I sold a newish sewing book on marketplace for £11 a couple of weeks ago. The Amazon trade-in thingy was offering £1.75 for it.
