Hi,
I'm desperately searching for any novels from the Resident Evil serie, by S.D.Perry, French or English, don't care, but I can't find any of these books!
A few of them are availible at libraries, on eBay, they're really expensive...
I'll be interested in getting Code Veronica first, since it's the only ResEvil game I played.
I can only find it for a reasonable price on Amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Code-Veronica-...ecc_rvi_cart_1
I'm not even subscribed on .COM, I am on CA, FR, but not COM, for now...
So it'll cost me about 18$ with the shipping to Canada, it's getting a bit expensive for a single book...
I can, however, get it for cheaper on Amazon.com Marketplace, as a used book:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used
(From the first seller, NorthEastBooks.)
I never bought something not sold by Amazon on the website, so I wonder if this is safe? I know we can't pay with PayPal on Amazon, but can we on Marketplace? Will I give my credit card number to a seller that I just don't know?
Thanks you!

I bought a PSP game once from a market seller.
You just have to read the ratings of the seller, and look for (read over) the bad transactions, over the good.A Black Falcon: no, computer games and video games are NOT the same thing. Video games are on consoles, computer games are on PC. The two kinds of games are different, and have significantly different design styles, distribution methods, and game genre selections. Computer gaming and console (video) gaming are NOT the same thing."

I have bought tons of stuff off of amazon marketplace with no problems over the years, just be sure to check the sellers feedback before you buy and make sure to only buy from sellers that have a large amount of positive feedback, if possible no negative feedback at all. northeastbooks feedback seems kinda questionable with some negatives.

I've bought games and CD's on Amazon marketplace (its my preferred way to buy used). But you gotta treat it like any other online place, read carefully and follow gut instinct about things.

amazon heavily favors customers in disputes, they are quick to pull a seller's access to the marketplace if they get too much negative feedback. ive never had a serious problem with anything ive purchased there.

As someone who sells on Amazon, this scares the crap out of me whenever i sell a high dollar item. I'm always worried that i will get the buyer looking to scam me. So far, so good though. Originally Posted by chrisbid

I buy from Amazon since I became aware of Internet. Can't remember exactly, but it might have been as early as 2001.
Never had any problem, neither with the main site or with the marketplace.

I've been buying from Amazon Marketplace for many years. Out of hundreds of purchases, the only problem I've had is 3 packages that were poorly packed/shipped. As others have mentioned, be sure to check the seller's feedback and read the description before a purchase. For example, only buy games that list something like "great shape with case, manual and cart." I skip over any seller that doesn't list specifics about item condition.

I don't like giving my credit card # to anyone; at least, if I was able to pay by PayPal...
Maybe I'll just buy a new one, and then get the others volumes in another store somewhere!Collection:

Your CC is through Amazon, not given to individual sellers.
So you can buy that new Lady Gaga CD from Amazon, then turn around and buy a used PS2 game from the marketplace.

I've bought from there many times before and never once received any bad experiences. As mentioned by previous posters, it's a good idea to read the seller ratings and the descriptions in the items they sell carefully. When in doubt, contact the seller directly.
