Product Review: Half.com

I'm thinking a website is kind of a product, so I wanted to let people who want to save money about my experience with half.com. This is a site where you can purchase books, CD's, and DVD's for (usually) below half of what your would pay elsewhere.

You are buying directly from an individual who has listed their item for sale on Half.com. It is NOT an auction-style sale, it is a set price. Check it out at http://www.half.com.

Yard Sale Queen

Tips for buying and selling at garage sales. Here's a snipet from their about page: "Hi my name is a Chris and I am a yardsale addict. I even dream about them. On Saturday mornings I wake up early without an alarm clock. I gave birth to my son one day after having a yardsale.

Website for Used Books

I found a great web-site which sells very cheap used books, some of which are pretty much brand new. The site only has about 3,000 books posted, but their inventory consists of over 18,000 books. There is an e-mail address on their home page, which you can submit requests to. I e-mailed them about a particular book I was looking for, and they e-mailed me back within 24 hours stating that they did have the book!!
