Easy checkout. I like that this ships from my own city.
It came up in search results. Price was good. Ships from Seattle. I have not been buying from Alibris lately because it’s an Amazon company, but this fit my need.

I just love Alibris. I do wish there was a way to search for sellers that are actual bookstores, just to support those brick-and-mortars over the clearing houses. I guess it would be pretty difficult to verify. But an indie bookstore program would be nice. They have such high expenses just existing in a storefront. I would have paid an extra $5 if I could have found a comparable volume.
I often check you all first when I'm looking for something used, but today you came up in a google shopping search because I was looking for something that has a high cover-price, and I was really bargain hunting. You had the best price for the condition.

I always love Alibris. I was surprised to find this boxed set, in this condition, for this price.
I was curious how much this boxed set of Griffin and Sabine books go for second-hand — as the boxed set runs around $120 on amazon. It was either check here or ABE Books, and for some reason I chose to type in Alibris instead. Don't know why, I've had good luck with both of you (it could be because Alibris is a way better named than ABE Books). Anyway, at $40 with shipping, I couldn't NOT buy it.

I generally really enjoy shopping with Alibris. Sometimes I wish there was a filter for booksellers in my home state, so I could shop from places closer to home.
My local bookstore could not get a certain book for me. I don't need to support Amazon. With Alibris at least I can shop from smaller booksellers.
