The 10-minute task that decluttered my house and made me money in the process

The author downloaded the World of Books app and used its barcode scanner to price books in seconds before dropping the boxed titles at an InPost locker, benefiting from free postage.
Every new year the author resolves to declutter and this year they followed through, facing shelves overflowing with Christmas books and more titles from their children.
The author said individual titles fetched small sums, from 50p to 10p, totaling £2.50, with an average of 23p, and the app's `ping` helped reach £5 in ten minutes.
The quick clear-out freed room for new Christmas books and passed titles to other readers, while World of Books saved time compared with eBay by offering free postage and avoiding listing hassles.
Sellers can send books in bulk or request home collection for boxes over 9kg, while donations face limits as local school library, book exchange, and charity shops refuse some children’s titles.
