I made money from old media! Yay!

A few weeks ago I had read somewhere about a website that would buy your used cd's, dvd's and video games and where you could buy some at low prices. I bookmarked it and forgot about it. Then today my mom was cleaning out some things and was going to give away the majority of the cd's we've accumilated over the years and dvds. I don't listen to cd's period anymore as I listen to music on the laptop or my old cell phone which is also an mp3 player. And there are only 3 dvd's out of all the ones we had that I watch. It's rare when I find a movie that I can watch more than once or twice. On this site you enter either the sku number or title of the media item and it will tell you how much they are willing to pay you for it. You build a shopping cart of things to sell to them and then they give you a total. You ship, you pay the shipping but you can ship using USPS media mail (they accept from other countries too) which is cheaper and in turn the company will give you a certain amount of free shipping to use on their site. You print out a packing list, ship your items and within 3 days of arrival they either send you a check, paypal or store credit... you choose. And it's totally legit, they're the biggest buyer of used media online and have stores nationwide. So I sold 68 cd's and 23 dvd's for a total of $228.50! For stuff I was just going to chuck out! The items need to be in good condition and if it's super old... even better! The things they have very little or no stock of they pay higher for and the things they have lots of they pay less for. For my cd's, they went from $0.25 each all the way to $7.50. The dvd's went from $1.00 to $12.50 a piece. The one's that were the most value in cd's where the older ones from the 90's and for dvd's it was the disney 2-disk or special editions. I got got paid to pretty much recycle old stuff. And instead of filling landfills, they'll be reused and enjoyed by someone else. Which means less production of newer ones. I'm loving how Green this program is! They only buy used items so no wholesale or resale only, even Greener! People think that living a Greener life has to be expensive because they associate it with organic only but now you can see that being Green saves you green, lol. Buying used items such as these does a whole lot of good for the environment and for your wallet too. Same goes for selling to them. FYI: The site is called Second Spin, www.secondspin.com and for those of you interested in earning with them I believe they have a Link Share program where you get 5%. I don't have websites or blogs anymore so I'm not a part of that, just posting it here to help everyone else out.
