A used book is always less expensive than the same book bought new,
but when you buy online, there is the additional cost of shipping that
must be added in to the total cost. Since used book sellers on
Amazon.com are allowed a flat $3.99 shipping per book, and the mailing
cost of many books is less than that, booksellers sometimes sell their
used books for as little as $0.01.
I was surprised to see a book for a single penny
the first time, but when I thought about it, it made sense. The
bookseller still makes about $2 per book. Even including the shipping
cost, a hard-to-find used book for $4, delivered to you door, is a very
good deal.
This is the way I buy books, when I can, and I recommend it.
The following is, as of this morning, available used for $0.01 plus $3.99 S&H.
These deals come and go.
