The first place I usually look for used homeschol books is http://edaccents.com/ They have great prices and wonderful customer service. Over the years I have made many purchases from them and have never been disappointed!

For new books I use http://www.rainbowresource.com or amazon.

I love Amazon, and I actually get a ton of stuff from PaperBackSwap for free. Every once in awhile I snag a deal at Barnes and Noble, like the 50% off Wordly Wise volumes I grabbed up at their clearance sale last week.

One resource for new curriculum is Rainbow Resource. They usually have the lowest prices for new stuff that I have yet found. Sometimes, they even undercut the used prices on Amazon and ebay. They have a HUGE catalogue available that has some reviews of the materials in it, which can be from both from people at Rainbow and customer reviews. Happy shopping!

I will admit, I am an Ebay Queen! I have done it long enough to know if I am getting a good deal or not. I sell my used curriculum on there. I plan on doing next weeks TT on it.

When I buy new I buy usually from CBD. Since they are in Massachusetts like I am, I can get my order the next day (when I order by noon). I have also ordered from Rainbown Resource center.

Great resources! I'm shopping right now Have you ever tried http://www.PaperbackSwap.com? I have gotten lots of "living books" from that site, as well as some ABeka books and other "official" HS texts. Thank you.

I've had a lot of success both buying and selling curriculum through HomeschoolClassifieds.com and The Well Trained Mind forum (welltrainedmind.com/forums). I've never had a problem with any transactions conducted through these two sites.

I make most of my curriculum purchases at the NCHE homeschool conference. I also buy a lot from Amazon and don't usually have any trouble getting the free shipping. There is a site called bookfinder.com that I have used to find the best used book prices.

I bought our globe from an Amazon seller, but I don't know which one now. They are pricy unfortunately. As for my accent, I was working really hard on not sounding twangy on the video. I really do not like hearing my own voice. I'm preparing myself for ridicule in a couple of weeks when I go to a family reunion with my husband's NY relatives. (He's not from NY, just his mom.) LOL

I definitely love to purchase from Amazon! I always get great deals when I go through one of their "used" resellers. I have gotten loads of books and curriculum at a fraction of the cost time and time again. I guess I never realized that I do make my actual purchases during spring and summer! I am always on the lookout for great books and things to use for school, but I usually don't make the purchase until summertime! Thanks again for hosting Thirsty Thursday!
