Business Tip
Perhaps this is a personal tip as much as it is a business tip, but I’m working really hard to declutter. One of my areas of clutter are books. I love books and that’s great but there’s just too many. So I am in the process of selling and/or donating them. Certainly, there are likely local bookstores where you can sell and exchange your books but did you know that Amazon has a buy-back program? Just click Amazon Book Buyback * to check out their program.
