Thanks, guys. Sorry I'm so late with the reply.
The problem with those sites is that they act as a front for independent sellers, so each book you order is not being shipped from the same place (and therefore not saving you time, hassle and money on shipping). That is, unless you order from the same seller, but the chances of one particular seller having every book on your list in the condition and price you're looking for is slim-to-none.
Basically, I'm doing Christmas shopping here, so that kind of thing is important. I'm going to see what I can do with Alibris, though.

i have used bigwords.com several times, and its always been great. im not sure how the other sites work, but you type in the ISBN or the title and author, and it searches the whole internet for the best deal on that book. ive probably literally saved upwards of 600 or 700 bucks over the years by using it. good luck!
