HI Lissi,
How have you found the additional shipping costs with third party sellers?
The few books I have ordered that way were just find:)

Dear Laura,
I'm a book impulse buyer, too and get many books, CDs and even DVDs from
Amazon and buy almost exclusively from the marketplace sellers. I'm not
encouraging you to do anything you don't feel confident about, but will
share my experience with you.
In 3 years of steadily buying from Amazon's independent sellers, I've only
gotten one inexpensive DVD that wasn't in great condition. The black
remainder marks are lines drawn across the outside of the page edges. They
don't show when you open the book and won't interfere with your scanning.
It's hard to explain, but those black marks only show when the book is
closed. Since I'm usually buying books which I'll donate after using them to
scan or validate, I like buying from the other sellers because their low
prices make it affordable for me to get 2 or 3 times as many books as I'd
get paying Amazon's prices.
Best of luck with whatever you do or buy next.
Always with love,
Lissi
