Win $500 Just for Selling Back Your Textbooks!

Every December my festive spirit is dampened when I try to sell back my textbooks. Lugging everything into the bookstore is such a hassle, and sometimes my school won’t even buy them.  Luckily for me, (and every other collegietteTM), Bookbyte is coming to the rescue! Not only does the online company make it super easy to buy and sell used textbooks, but every person who sells a book to Bookbyte will be eligible to win a $500 Visa gift card in their “Buyback For Bucks” contest! All you have to do is go to the Bookbyte website and enter in the ISBN number for the book you want to sell, find how much it’s worth and send it in the mail. Bookbyte will take care of all the shipping costs and a payment will be issued within 48 hours after the order has been processed. And every book you sell gets you another chance to win (up to 10 entries per week per person). So not only are you making cash off of your textbooks, but you’re chances to pocket an extra $500 continually increase. The first drawing is on December 10th and doesn’t end until January 31, 2011.  And you’ll have plenty of chances to win because Bookybyte will continue to pick a winner every Friday until February 4th, 2011.  Click here to enter!
