I've heard similar about thriftbooks from others but I just don't see it. Seems to be very much on par with amazon: I can search for some old paperback you'd find super cheap (~$2 or $3) copies of in any real-life used book store, yet (typically) on thriftbooks or amazon the only way you're paying under $10 is if it's falling apart, water-damaged, etc.
I just searched for a copy of The Brothers Karamazov to double check: cheapest on thriftbooks is $6.89 in condition "acceptable". Amazon has one in "good" condition for $6.71.

- lupire 5y agoI see $6.59 on thriftbooks for Good. comparing pennies on books with a dozen different editions/formats isn't super interesting. Anyway, usually the cheapest book on Amazon is usually thriftbooks, but as parent notes, thriftbooks adds $1.30 for shipping if the book is under $10, which makes it a better deal if you can get free shipping on thriftbloks site
