I’m looking to buy several books on Actionscript and such and whilst determining which I wanted through Amazon, I realized you could order books used for obscenely low prices. There is a rating system, and some of the users have very nice ratings and good comments, so would I be taking a big risk buying a book used?

For example, theres a certain $50 book I found with numerous sellers selling it used for under $5! Some seem like very legit sellers, like an [ecampus.com](http://ecampus.com) seller, etc. Has anyone else bought a book used from Amazon and felt it was a great bargain?
