Does anyone know of any reliable, reputable used book vendors online?
F
I purchase a lot through ebay. There are sellers that offer b3g1 free or b4g1 free. Usually pay about $3 per book.
http://betterworldbooks.com/
http://thriftbooks.com/
I also use http://thriftbooks.com/ often
Amazon…I only buy used books. I used abebooks aswell
I use thriftbooks and half price books
I’ve never had any problems with amazon
I’m one of many who sell used books on Amazon and most of us are very reputable! 🙂
https://www.abebooks.com/?cm_mmc=msn-_-Bing+%5BBrand%5D+CA-_-naa-_-naa
This is where amazon gets their used books
* the majority
I used to use http://half.com/ but they shut it down and just moved everything to the normal eBay (http://half.com/ was a eBay sister company basically) but now I find that using Amazon to buy used books works just as well. I have orders dozens so far and each one has arrived exactly as it was described.
Never had a problem thru Amazon.
Thriftbooks or powells
Thrift
Thanks, I appreciate all your suggestions!
http://addall.com/ It compares online booksellers by price and shipping fees.

Thriftbooks
Book depository
BetterWorldBooks.Always free shipping if you buy one book or 100 books.FREE SHIPPING!Every time you order a book..a book is donated to the World Literacy Foundation.It’s a WIN WIN
I LOVE, LOVE http://thriftbooks.com/ You do have to be patient on delivery(of course you can upgrade it like any other site) but they have so many titles in different formats and conditions to fit your liking and budget. If they dont have it then just check periodically and its bound to eventually turn up. Also, the customer service is amazing. Mess ups happen at the best of companies but they quickly fix it and make it right without ever making you feel like a lying criminal.
They also have free shipping after spending $15 and every $50 spent is a $5 off coupon emailed to you. I spent almost $300 one time and every $50 increment they sent me a $5 code and they are good for one year.
ABE books. I love them. Been using them for years.
I’ve had good luck with that site too 🙂
Book http://depository.com/
I always use Amazon and have never had a problem Thrift books is very expensive – usually more than a third to a half more than Amazon. I also sell on Amazon.
Yea thriftbooks isn’t that great for newer releases
You just have to come back to newer releases later. One day I will get on and the book is $15 and then 2 to 3 weeks later its $4 for a like new hardcover of same new released book. Newer releases require more checking in since they will go faster when the used ones roll in.
http://thriftbooks.com/ free shipping over $10
Powell’s
http://biblio.com/ is a great source
http://betterworldbooks.com/
Lots of good ones, but I’ve had the absolute BEST luck with http://thriftbooks.com/!!!
I use alibris ☺
World of books
I use Half Price books.
Half Price Books.
I’ve had good luck with ThriftBooks.
Adding another vote for Powell’s here – and if you use this specific link, 7.5% of the sale goes towards the employees’ strike fund. #ShopUnion http://www.powells.com/?partnerID=35751
Amazon
All used book stores sell through amazon. I’ve ordered that way when books were out of print and never had a bad experience
http://www.abebooks.com/
I order from http://thriftbooks.com/ a lot. Never been disappointed.
I have spent SOOOOOOOOO much money through Thriftbooks (unless it’s a new book, I always check them first). I usually order the Acceptable copy unless I really want a great copy and i’ve only had an issue ONCE. The book (paperbook) was broken on the spine. Segments of pages fell out. I wrote them (email) and they shipped me a copy two grades better than the one I ordered and told me to just toss the other one. I got the new one in a couple of days and they even em’d to confirm it arrived. Every other book I’ve ordered has been spot on the quality listed or better and I’m talking a LOT of books (we’ll refrain from counting – books or dollars – b/c…well…then I’d have to jump off a roof or something.)
Thriftbooks is GREAT!
Abe books, Daedalus for remaindered books, and http://alibris.com/
I have bought plenty from ebay ans Amazon and never had any issues
I ordered a bunch off http://www.bookoutlet.com/ and had no issues! Well, I don’t understand why UPS sent it the way they did, considering they’re in western NY and I’m in eastern but they went to Ohio and then Connecticut and then up to me…but thats the UPS fools, not the site.
Once Upon a Time Books. They are located in Tontitown, Arkansas (close to fayetteville). Family owned. I grew up with their daughter. Great, friendly people! Lots of books for $1.50
