Sell Your Kids’ Old Games and Books If you have children, they probably possess stacks of games, kits, and books, including some they’ve outgrown. But you could make money from the ones they’ve finished with, provided they’re fit for selling.

But what most people don’t know is that at least once month there is a promotion on selling fees where you can save 50% or more.

J. R. R Tolkien’s book, The Hobbit is quite possibly one of the best-loved fantasy books around. It has already been translated into well over 50 languages and it was designed to entertain Tolkien’s own children.
