Yo...I wish that I had known about this before. Instead of buying my stupid college books for $50 "used" in the bookstore, I can go to half.com and type in the ISBN number and get them for even less! I'll know to do it next semester.
Does anyone else shop like that?

I shop like that for just about anything. Games, books, clothes.
I've been doing it for my computer parts, so far it's saved me about $200 of what it would be for buying from the store, and many of the things I got are new, just from people who only sell on ebay, so it saves me a lot.

I buy everything online, from clothes, to college textbooks, to electronics, to games. I've been able to afford things I never imagined by going to ebay, amazon, and half.com.

Aye, I ordered my math textbook from half.com... I saved about sixty bucks.
From now on, that's where I'm getting all of my textbooks.

Are there any other places besides ebay and half.com that specialize in products that I would have an interest in (Nationally), or does anyone have any shopping tips to share?

I've never heard of this half.com place, I'll have to check that out next semester. as it was I bought/sold most of my textbooks at my university's online classifieds. made over $200 selling old ones, and only spent $110 on new ones.

You can also look for things at sites out of country. I got a great deal once for a book from amazon.ca (Canadian--I'm in US). It was partly because the book was published in Canada, and partly because the exchange rate was very favorable at the time.
What I usually do is look up the book through my school, or on the net to get the ISBN. Then I do a google search on the ISBN to find places that sell the book. It works pretty well.

For medicine or biology students you can get some books for free on the net. Look at the book shelf here. They expand their "library" quite often too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I found it to be more of a pain to list things on there then on ebay especially if what you want to sell doesn't fit into any of their predefined catagories.
