Half is another part of ebay that you can buy and sell the media stuffs. I've been using it lightly over the years and I love it. The great thing is it's not an auction, you just list what you have, using the ISBN code, and wait for a buyer. I've sold my college textbooks there with success. Able to buy some rare cds not in major store, and games at fraction of the new cost. Another thing is it uses credit cards, and not paypal, seem strange the fact that it's an extension of ebay.

I guess the reason why I like it is because there isn't the hassle of ebay with the auction and the sniping. Haven't gotton scammed yet. Please share any good or bad experience you've had with the site, since I never seen people mentioned it, only about ebay all the time.

Half.com is a great place to check for used (and sometimes new) books, videogames and CDs. In college, it was the best way to get rid of your old textbooks. It's had a lot more competition now from Amazon marketplace, but it still seems to be thriving, even though ebay was about to get rid of it a few years back.

great place to get previous edition textbooks at highly reduced prices. Ive used it quite a bit (both selling and buying) for some semesters. its a great place to save money.

I bought a school book over at half.com and never got my book. Eventually, I was able to get most of my money back, but it was a fight the whole way!

I've bought things from Half.com before. I have actually gotten some great buys on music cds there.

Hmmn, that's a shame. I've never had to go through the process. Is it anything like a paypal claim?

I usually buy my textbooks from half.com and when I am finish I usually sell them on amazon marketplace. I find amazon marketplace usually a little more pricey than half.com

I used to sell my textbooks there and made back a lot of cash. Also bought some CD's for good prices. For whatever reason though, I havent done any business there in a while. I have a ton of textbooks that I could sell. Just lazy I guess...
