Hi I would like to know what you think about amazon marketplace. Have you ever bought new or used books from third party sellers at [amazon.com](http://amazon.com)? Do you have good experience with some seller you can recommend? I ask this because they have this user ratings that all seem made up ,like for example they have thousands of ratings of 5 (1 to 5 scale) and then they have a bunch of ratings with 1 from people who say that the books were not as described or didnt even arrived at all. I dont have all the money i wish i had to spend on books , and it is by far my favorite learning method ,so this less espensive choices would be very nice for me ,i just dont know how much should i trust this. Please tell me about your experience (if you have any), your opinion, and refer if possible some good sellers that you know from your own experience that i can trust. Thanks a lot Cheers ---

I buy from Amazon marketplace all the time. Its the cheapest way to get things IMO. Just make sure the seller has a high rating and you should be fine. I have bought video games, books, text-books, etc from there… ---

I have used Amazon marketplace quite a number of times for various items such as books, CDs, etc. It’s quite reliable, but as others have mentioned, it’s wise to check the shipper’s ratings, etc. Cheers! Kirupa :thumb: ---

I’ve used it a lot to buy CDs, DVDs and books and never had any problems whatsoever. Everything’s arrived on time and in tact. 🙂 ---
