Books galore!

Here’s another easy way to raise money for your expedition that we have been testing out to raise money for our chosen charities.  How many books do you have on your shelf collecting dust? Why not collect funds for your expedition by selling these on? You can hold book sales, list them on Amazon or use Green Metropolis, a free and easy to use website.

All you need to do is register on www.greenmetropolios.com and add all your unwanted books to your account. If you are under 18 you will need a parent or guardian to set up an account for you.

 

To list your books, simply select the ‘Sell a Book’ option. For each book you wish to sell you’ll need to enter the ISBN (that’s the book’s number on the back, next to the barcode), the condition of the book and if it’s a heavier book, select a Postage Payment.

Books are sold at £3.75 and £3.00 is credited to your account once this has been received.

Lisa has started off doing this and says that, “in addition to listing my own books I have asked friends, colleagues and neighbours if I can take their old books off their hands and many have jumped at the opportunity to clear some shelf space! “

Lisa has only been listing and selling books for 2 months and has already raised £15. Laura has three bags full of books to add into the mix so we should see the £’s come rolling in.
