amandalove: They are called car boot sales here and are held in designated places userally a field or a car park. Garage sales at home are not allowed here.
It depends where it is from on e-bay. I bought a book publised in the USA cheaper in spite of pp and delivered within a week. Here they wanted 4 to 6 weeks delivery time and their cut for ordering.
I enjoy the library sales, there is one tomorrow uptown and I,ll be there lol!
I think Amazon is expensive. There is a site called Play.com which sells nearly everything including books and pp is free here I donno if it would be free in the USA.
