I just read about a website called paperbackswap.com in an article at dothaneagle.com. (Read the article here.)Paperbackswap.com averages 35,000 swaps a week, and features 1.7 million books.
"All you need is an e-mail address, a mailing address and at least 10 books you’re willing to list on the Web site and swap with other users. The only cost is postage and a few extra services a user may choose to use. Each new user gets two credits in order to select their first two books."
"Users receive an e-mail when someone wants a book they have listed on the Web site. With every book mailed, a user receives another credit to select books."
"Paperback Swap lists hardcover books and audio books. It also has discussion forums and chat rooms for members. There are separate sites for CD and DVD swapping."
"Laura Martin of Dothan has used the service for 18 months. An admitted book hoarder, Martin said she uses the service to fill out her collections of favorite authors. She’ll list and swap books that she doesn’t like enough to keep and re-read."
("used and new" prices): generally the lowest price. Apparently, up to 70% of online book sales happen here.
