Amazon Trade-In Store allows you to browse the titles of video games that you would like to trade-in, add them to your cart and submit to Amazon.

Then, you will get a prepaid shipping label that you will print and use to mail your games to Amazon. Once Amazon receives your games and ensures that the games are in good condition, you will get an Amazon Gift Card.

This method may be faster for you to earn some cash then trying to sell the games on your own. However, you may make more money selling on your own.

eHow.com is a site that allows anyone to contribute tips and ideas on a given topic. One of their articles is “How to Save Money in a Recession.” This article has five easy steps to follow in saving your money during tough economic times. For example, Step 1 is:

“Step 1: Figure out where every dollar is going. Write a list of the things that you pay for with your money. Be sure to include monthly bills such as electric and mortgage, weekly purchases like gas and groceries, and small daily purchases such as the cup of coffee you pick up each morning on the way to work. “

I find the steps basic, but may be too simplistic for some. However, it is a good basic page to help you get started. What do you think? Leave your comments and start a discussion!
