]]> Comment on Why Does Dave Ramsey Push Identity Theft Insurance*? by Ryan http://www.financegetspersonal.com/2008/03/18/why-does-dave-ramsey-push-identity-theft-insurance/#comment-389 Ryan Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:11:21 +0000 http://financegetspersonal.wordpress.com/?p=45#comment-389 The big difference between Zander and LifeLock I've seen is the fact that Zander costs $72/yr (http://zanderins.com/idtheft/idtheft.aspx) vs. LifeLock at $110/yr (https://secure.lifelock.com/enrollmentform.aspx) and the fact that, if your identity is stolen, Zander assigns somone to clean up the mess so you don't have to deal with it at all, whereas I have not heard of LifeLock doing this. Since taking time away from work to clean up the mess left behind after an ID theft is really what costs you money and stress, Zander is the winner here in my book.

BookScouter - I looked at this website, it's actually very handy. I think I'll try to sell my books on Amazon, because it looks like I can make more money that way, then sell what I can't get rid of to a book purchasing site.

By time you deduct the Amazon fees, and deal with the risk, stress and hassle of dealing with amazon customers, you'll likely have a better experience and make about the same amount of money. There are a bunch of websites that buy used books, and most of them provide a prepaid shipping label so you don't even have to pay postage. I created <a href="http://bookscouter.com" rel="nofollow">BookScouter.com</a> as a way to quickly compare the prices from all of the book purchasing sites that I know of (currently around 25 sites), so you can make sure you are getting the best deal.

Another place where bubble mailers pop up on occasion is the dollar stores. :) Thanks for the tips, I’d thought about this before but not made the leap.
