This past week we have been cleaning out our basement to make room for our remodel and found that we have a bunch of toys, books, used cds that we were trying to figure out what to do with these items. Many of the CD’s are still in great shape in their original packaging so you hate to just throw them out and not sure if taking the time to list them on auction sites like ebay could take a lot of time. So this is where my blogging comes in handy as we were given the opportunity to learn about a site called Abundatrade.com. The company is set up to take in used CDs, DVDs, and books and then they give you points for your items for which you can use to purchase new TVs, iPods, cameras, and much more. Now you would think that the points are setup so that you would have to convert thousands of items to get an item of your choice. Not so. In most cases if the items are in good condition and in the original packaging you can probably get one point per item and depending on the market value slightly more.

They make it very easy to submit your items through their online tool that allows you to enter the UPC/ISBN numbers and then you can see the value that could receive and then it will create a file that you email for consideration. If you have a lot of items you can request a bar code scanner that plugs into your USB port and as long as you return it within 30 days you will not be charged for the device. I know that we are going to try it out and see what items that we have laying around that may still be worth something. They make it so easy to recycle your items with easy to follow directions that you simply cannot go wrong. So this holiday season why not recycle some of those books, CDs and DVDs lying around at Abundatrade.com and find that 32″ LCD TV that you or a loved one wants for Christmas.
