I don't know about your question, but I want to add that I hate amazon.

You can't bloody buy books in one shipping. Even if you buy two books from the same store, under the same account, and get it shipped to the same location, they still ******* send that shit in separate posts and charge you separately. Bastards. Sure they have to make their money, but why necessitate the idea of separate shipping? Stores would make a lot more sales if their book prices were a little higher and did combined shipping with the overall price being a little less than what you'd pay under the old system. Maybe it's just cause I'm out of the states so I don't get the benefit of it, but it's annoying I can tell you that much.

Book Off of course. I had it in front of me all the time and didn't think of it. I will take my stuff there to see if they offer good price. The books are practically new.

@liosama, If I can share my experience, here in Japan is the opposite of what you are saying. It's happened several times tat I don't select the expedited shipping option and still get my goods the next day, also, from time to time, some items buried in my shopping cart (I leave them there when I still haven't made up my mind about buying) get priced down (sometimes priced up as well but it seems far less common).
