This is the text from my blog entry on the lightforceministries.com website.
Not everyone knows this yes, but I have been selling books online to raise money for the Northern Ireland team.
How does it work? I take a book from my bookshelf or one that someone gave me, and I simply input that I have the book as part of my sellers account with Amazon.com. When a person is looking to by that book new, and icon will pop up below the new price that says, “buy it used” for $x.
If I have the lowest price for the item, then someone will buy it. The money goes into my account immediately, I get an e-mail from Amazon and I take the book to the post office and mail. (The buyer pays for shipping too!)
When I get 2-3 items income deposited to my checking account I write a check and turn it in just like any other donation for the trip. Pretty cool, eh?
So, if you want to help us get to Northern Ireland this summer but you don’t have any cash-o-la but have a pile of unwanted books… put them in my office and I’ll list them! I promise that 100% of the $$$ I get from the booksale go directly to the fund. So far, I’ve deposited $33.33 and this weekend I’ll deposit about $25 more! It’s not much but every little bit helps.
