Don't you just love it when you get one. My friend recommended that I buy the film, A Beautiful Mind. So I went on to Amazon ( I know, but I can't give it up ) to buy it.
I took a punt and bought a second hand one for 20p! Being of the mind, oh well if it's rubbish (not the film) its only 20p. Result, it's as new. Will definitely do it again.

Got a very-nearly-new pair of leather Hawkshead boots from Oxfam this morning for DH. £7.99! smile

I love a bargain. I have had to buy a few used books from shhh Amazon, but when they arrived they were new still had shop stickers on and never been opened, must have been returned stock, so I will do that again.

I have had lots of books from Amazon, some as cheap as 99p and also CDs.
They declare what condition they are in and so far it has always been accurate.
I can buy English books and CDs from Amazon.fr which saves on postage.

I have had 1p or 2p books from Amazon Market Place. Amazon insists on £2.80 postage, so that is how they make a profit.
