Hands down best website there is. It gives you the best price amongst the most common sites such as half, amazon, abebooks, etc. My trick for keeping book costs low is buy international editions or older editions. I've saved hundreds doing this. It pains me to remember how I bought brand new A&P books at the bookstore for $300 my first semester. Oy. For the past year, I've paid less than $50 for all my books and I do resell them, making almost or all my money back.

half.com is also a favorite of mine...you can choose the condition, and shipping is 3.95 for media mail but if you pick a seller fairly close to you then the books can arrive within days which is virtually getting priority shipping for the price of media mail. I bought all of my books there for the spring semester one book in particular I made a profit on was Psychology today by Myers I paid $25 brand new off half.com and sold it to my schools book store for $35. Not too shabby if you ask me. Also check out Chegg.com sometimes you can get great deals on rentals there.

I use dealoz.com. The site directs me to the site with the cheapest listed books that I searched for. It's great for price comparisons!

I also was going to suggest half.com - got brand new books with the shrink wrap still on them for $80 (med/surg book - $175 brand new)
