Would you use this site? Why or why not?

Yes I would definitely use this site. It makes book buying for other people easier because all you need is a title. and the cost is so much lower than a regular book store.

I would buy the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Trilogy (paperback)), cost $0.01. This was one of my favorite books when I was my son's age. He is 17 and just saw the movie. He wants to read the book, since the movie was so funny. This is great, because my son doesn't like to read anything!

There were so many that I would like to buy that I made a wish list and must decide later on which one I really want. Shipping adds up fast.

I would use this site because I have a tendancy to go over board on buying books and this way I won't overspend on the money.

SIA FEHOKO:::Yes, I would use the thriftbooks.com site to purchase books because it was very easy and fast to navigate through. I liked how they had options for ways to shipping the product. The prices were cheap too.

There should be a way to send e-mail update for specific catagories that interest the customer. There should also be a preference page specialized / personalized for the client, profile page. You could also have people log into the site before they browse the books an then have access to look at the site. Company could add a search feature for upcoming titles, e-mail marketing campaign. The company has an accurate real time database.

I would definitely use this site, because I just started a business and I will probably need a few business books. I don't really have time to go to a store and look around, so this will make it easier for me. The cost is lower also so that is a plus.

I would have them sell major platform games such as used xbox and playstation. The video game section is very limited

I don't think Triftbook is any better than Amazon other then amazon is a very big company and well know place to buy books, trrifbooks need to improve their marketing strategic because i didn't know about them till was mentioned in the class, o try to search for a spanish book and they don't have any.

This is a great site but I think they should add a series section. It would be nice to buy the whole series at once.

1. I would not use the site for the reason that I have no need for outdated books. It seems to be a good website for die hard readers and maybe collectors. I can see a defined market for it though. It is a great idea.

I would buy the Zen and the Art of motorcycle maintenance (0.01). I was surprised to find it, and it listed several. I would consider buying from thrift books, if was making a bigger order. I tend to only get a few books at a time, so it’s not likely that I would purchase through this business.
