Pros: Books, CDs and DVDs for less!! And you can sell too! Cons: Search feature doesn't always find what I'm looking for.
Confession - I love buying books. When the online bookseller giant Amazon.com came into my life, I thought I was in book buying heaven. Now, I've found an even better source for buying books, music, movies, DVDs, and more…. Half.com! The beauty...

When I first heard that EBay had bought (thanks pluckyduck!) Half.com I was a bit skeptical, I mean why would the premier auction site then and even now enter the business of selling used books, movies, etc? The reason is because EBay charges list...

I, too, was a fan of half.com until an item I ordered didn't arrive. Now it's been two and a half months and I don't appear to be anywhere near getting a refund, let alone the original item.
It makes sense that making a large network of...

I LOVE half.com, despite it's admittedly many flaws. I have been both a buyer and seller on the site for almost 3 years. I have bought several dozen books in that time, and sold 1144. (I'm not a bookstore - this is just out of my house!) Buying, I ...

Pros: Outstanding service--even addictive Cons: A couple of technical hiccups lately
This site offers a huge number of opportunities, for sellers and buyers both.
I have found it an extremely useful and reliable service, with only minor technical problems of late.
What the site provides is a way of...

I consider myself a thrifty shopper when it comes to buying entertainment items like books, movies, music and video games. The prices of these items are set by their publishers, not the retailers, which means any given CD, DVD or book will cost more or ...

I am a bookworm, actually I devour the written word. My room is stacked with books, my bookcases spill over. In my purse, pocket or backpack there is always a paperback. Before I sleep, I read. For my birthday, I take myself and an uncracked...

During one of my many moods, I was in a Jesuit stage of mind. I was searching the web for published writings and philosophies of St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit religious order. Even in this mystical mindset, I was not going to pay rack...

I am a seller at Half.com. That is my role and my experience with this website. I sell small amounts of stuff - books around the house I no longer read, or a VCR tape here and there.
Half.com gets 15% commission on what I sell because I...

NEW UPDATE:
In the past 3 month, I have tried to list about 5 items for sale and none of them showed in their system after waiting between 1-3 days. I emailed them for help and the response were all automated and I can't get anyone to look...

I have been shopping at Half.com for a couple of years now. I'm very satisfied with this service. I love old books many of which are out of print or considered rare. I can go to the site and type in the name of the book I'm looking for and usually there...

I've always loved Ebay, and I still shop there.. but I've found Half.com to be better for certain items. I'm studying for a teacher certification exam in a few weeks, and a couple of months ago I had to find some pretty obscure textbooks to help myself...

Half.com, run and operated by Ebay.com, is an internet site that allows you to outright purchase an item rather than having to bid upon it. Sellers place the item that they wish to sell at a set price, and should a buyer desire said item, the buyer...
