I sometimes dabble in selling items on ebay. This doesn't make big money, but children's ex-library books sell great also. The books should be a few years old and ones the library doesn't want anymore. Sometimes you can pick these up fairly cheap at yard sales and book fairs. You'd be surprised at how much people are willing to pay for something that has sentimental value to them. One mans junk is another mans gold.
