Never buy anything from Amazon without checking eBay first. I think every generic thing in the world is available on eBay, IME at about half the price.
(May not be worth it for books and other media. But I just bought a pile of stuff for moving house with, down to replacement light bulbs for when we take our expensive daylight CFLs with us. And it’s always fun to just casually buy six rolls of packing tape and a 100-metre roll of bubble wrap, even when you have an actual reason to.)
For books, use bigwords.com; it searches a bunch of book sellers and finds the cheapest price for the book(s) you’re looking for. I got most of my college textbooks that way.

If this is true, there’s a huge amount of money to be made buying things on eBay and selling them on Amazon.
Better would be to find good suppliers on eBay and drop-ship from Amazon.
Quite possibly, yes.

For books, check the internet for free pirated book.
This isn’t meant to be moral. We are talking munchkin here.
If you’re looking for free and legal, but not recent, I’d suggest looking into Project Gutenberg.
For Australians, Booko provides search for book sellers including shipping costs.
