Purchasing books at a regular price can be really expensive especially if you’re an avid book reader like my husband. The costs of books can add up quickly. In my opinion there is no need to purchase a book at a regular price when you can find the same title at a discounted price under the used books section. Unless the book just hit the market it should be available as used books at many different types of locations. You’re probably thinking, “Where am I going to find the book I want under the used books section?” The following locations are the perfect places of where you can find used books.
Check out your local used bookstore. I love going to a used bookstore because you can find hundreds of popular titles for just pennies. To top it off many of these used bookstore give you the opportunity to turn in your used book and earn credit towards the next books you purchase. Ching ching! More money can be saved. For example, I once purchased a used book for $2 dollars. I returned it for credit when I was done reading. I earned .50 cents credit towards my next used book. My next used book that I purchased cost me only $1.00 dollar.
Search for the book you want on Ebay. I think you can practically find anything you want on Ebay even a popular titled used book. What’s great is you can often find multiple listings of the book you want. Then compare price and conditions between the used books online. Shopping for a used book really becomes easy with Ebay.
Find your book on Amazon.com. Amazon has a wealth of popular new books that also come used. For example, James Patterson books are very popular and in high demand. On Amazon it sells one of James Patterson’s book called, The 9th Judgment at a price of $15.46. However you can purchase this exact title brand new and on Amazon under the used book section for as low as $8.50.
Check the Powell’s Books website online. Powell’s Books is an independently owned store online. They sell a wide variety of popular titles under the used books section. You can even find used books that are no longer on the market. So that rare and hard to find book could possibly be found at the Powell’s Books website.
All Bookstores.com is a fabulous website to find the cheapest used book you want. All Bookstores is great because you can plug in the title, author or ISBN under their search field. Then all the online locations of the used book your looking for will pull up. The locations along with the prices will be listed. So essentially you will be narrowing your book to the lowest price online.
Remember avoid purchasing a book full price. You can find the title you want under the used book section of the locations I gave you above. Have fun reading.
