I suspect that most or all of the people reading this page are aware of Bookfinder (http://www.bookfinder.com), which is a "meta-search engine" for used books. That is, you enter a search on Bookfinder, and it sends out requests to dozens of used book services, including individual stores like Barnes and Noble (http://www.bn.com) or Powells (http://www.powells.com), consolidators like Advanced Book Exchange (http://www.abebooks.com), and person-to-person sale sites like eBay (http://www.ebay.com) and Half (http://www.half.com). Bookfinder is a near-miracle, an indispensible tool for a book addict like me.
I'm wondering, though, if there are similar services for music CDs and for DVDs. Any suggestions, anyone?
