AbeBooks is owned by Amazon, so they'll still get their cut!

Alibris is site that's very similar to AbeBooks, but thankfully not owned by Amazon.

I think Alibris is _especially_ wonderful from a seller's perspective. Their chat support is friendly and efficient, and does not seem to be an outsourced and overworked call center, but actual Alibris employees who can fix things.

Ooh, didn't know that! Either way, I do find it a better service for books in particular.

I use bookfinder.com to reach other places. There are cases where I have been able to find cheaper or out of print books
