MagnetarJones's Journal: Do you Amazon?

I'm really digging this "Used" books option on Amazon.

I recently picked up 2 books that would cost $50 new, I got them both for $6.12 (about $13 total including shipping)

What were they?
The Waite Group's Unix System V Primer
and
Passport to World Band Radio 2002

Yea, not even remotely related to each other.

Indeed I do

Quite the savings, and quite convienient. Got a C# book that retails for $50 for 5.98.
Even after shipping, it was under $10. Amazon is my current favorite used bood store. And I like the "lists" thing too.

still boycotting

I haven't forgiven Amazon for the 'one click' lawsuits - nor for other assorted evils (like when they were caught charging regular customers more than new customers for the same items).

Amazon and BN.com

That Readers Advantage card kicks ass, sometimes. For example, there were 4 books that I wanted to order this go-round. I compared Amazon vs. BN and bought the book from whoever was cheaper. It's the same book, damn it! Why is one $37 and one $27? Makes no sense to me...

I'm an Amazon-a-holic!

I look at the Recommendations page at least once a day. Thank goodness for the Wishlist, or I'd be a pauper by now... :-)
