It sure is convenient and great place to save money for media items (books including text books, DVD, VHS, CD), but it's just a market place where people can sell their own USED/NEW media items at.(pretty much same as Amazon market place), Not One Big   Read full review...

I have been shopping and selling on half.com for 9 years. If there was some viable alternative, I'd go elsewhere. When I first started w/half.com, the name meant something. You could figure prices would be just what they said half, or less. If   Read full review...

I have been a user of Half.com for seven or eight years. They are an affiliate of Ebay which is how I was introduced to them. Half.com is an easy way to sell your unwanted media - books, cds, dvds, video games, etc. It is very easy to list on here.   Read full review...

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   Read full review...

What is Half.com: Half.com is a discount buying site and part of the Ebay system; the two sites are now integrated in many ways. The advantages of Half.com are that unlike Ebay there is no bidding, and no waiting. If you see an item and like the price,   Read full review...

LOVE this site for buying and selling books and music. I've used it for years and have never been disappointed. Even when sellers let you down, Half.com will quickly refund your money. Not like other sites such as VALORE BOOKS who takes your money quickly but never sends merchandise or refund. I will now ONLY order from Half.com.
Another good and trustworthy site is Amazon.com!

I love Half.com by eBay. I wouldn’t look only here for my textbooks, but I always check it out, and have used it several times. It is easy to use, and has some very good deals. It has the respect of eBay, and offers more safety than a lot of lesser known   Read full review...

The web site was easy to navigate with no issues. My order was accurate and I received my product very quickly in a week. I was able to find what I was looking for. I would recommend shopping at Half.com again.

Half.com is cheaper than buying at the bookstore. I think for a seller it is weird the way you collect money after a purchase. You have to wait like a month and then your total purchases get sent to your bank account or something. I don't really know. I don't even remember if I got credited for selling that book. Anyways, I find that I would rather buy and sell books off of ebay.com instead of half.com. Just my opinion.

I’ve been an eBay member for ten years and a member of Half.com for about 5 years. Several years ago, Half.com was purchased by eBay and many things have changed – some for the better and some I wish had not been altered. Half.com is very similar to   Read full review...

I have been shopping at half.com for several years. We own about 25 movies from there, and several dvd's. My son has 23 ps2 games, and I have bought all but one through half. My teenagers both buy all their cd's through half.com.

Instead of having to bid on new/used products, you are shown a page with a list of the, say, dvd you are searching for. They are listed in order of excellent condition, very good condition, good condition, etc. Each seller writes a little piece about what you can expect from their product, and the set price they are asking. Just click and it's yours! I don't think I've ever had to wait over a week for anything - it all seems to get shipped out quickly. I have had to contact the seller a couple of times, and everything ran smoothly. I have never been disappointed with anything I have purchased through there.

I have bought many items on Half.com and sold a few. They are not absolutely honest with sellers. Suppose an item sells for $5.25 and the shipping charge to the buyer is $2.79. The buyer pays $8.04. Half.com sends the seller (about three weeks later) $6.40 and tells the seller that the commission is $0.79. They send the seller $1.94 for shipping. They never directly mention the $0.85 withheld from the shipping charge. Do the math for yourself.

delivery speed: acceptable
order accuracy: never gotten the wrong thing delivered yet
customer service: good
website: easy to find what you're looking for
bottom line: don't waste hours of your time looking for a cheaper price when Half.com already sells it rock-bottom.

Half.com is quite terrible indeed, at least if you are trying to buy something. Now if you want to scam people, look to half.com; it's excellent for scamming. Half.com does have a "buyer protection policy," but if you file a claim, they don't   Read full review...

I placed an order at half.com. I received the order only six days later. My only complaint about half.com is the high shipping charges. My order was $2.90 and I paid $7.50 for shipping! The actual postage paid on the envelope was $2.07. Not fair.

I PURCHASED 2 BOOKS ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2006. THE BOOKS WERE TO BE DELIVERED 9/13 TO 9/25/06. AS OF TODAY, OCTOBER 4, 2006, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BOOKS. THE AMOUNT OF $133.00 WAS TAKEN OUT OF MY CREDIT CARD ON 9/5/2006.

I NEED THE BOOKS AND SENT 6 EMAILS SINCE 9/25/06AND THE BEST THAT CUSTOMER SERVICE CAN TELL ME IS TO FILE A CLAIM AND WITHIN 30 DAYS I WILL GET A RESPONSE.

THIS IS NOT A REPUTABLE COMPANY AND I AM NOT SATISFIED AT ALL WITH THEM

Absolutely hate this site, I ordered three books none of them came. One of them, the seller tried to convince me to take the softcover version instead of the hardcover (this was a $100 textbook). I will NEVER again go to this site or order any thing. When I tried to get my money back half.com told me I have to wait until I get the item until they will refund my money!!
