Answer 2

Ebay is not a good choice. Many of us who are homeschooling boycott Ebay for buying or selling curriculum because of their Teacher Edition policy.

Here are a few of the online places I know:

Amazon (I list curriculum there, so if you need email me with grade level, subject area, publisher and/or title and I can see if I have what you need)

Homeschool Legal Defense Association has an auction venue similar to ebay, but specifically for curriculum. Go to www.hslda.org and click on Curriculum Market. (You must be a member in order to bid or buy.)

These are other auction websites for curriculum:

www.homeschoolbid.com and www.thislittlepiggystayshome.com/auction...

www.vegsource.com has a curriculum swapboard. People list their used curriculum and you communicate via email.

We have several yahoo groups in our state where people list and buy/sell their books. If you go to yahoo groups and do a search for homeschool books and enter your state name, you'll most likely come up with several.

Some larger communities have homeschool/teacher stores, some of which have consignment or used book areas. You may also want to check your yellow pages for educational stores or used book stores in your city.

I hope this is helpful. If you are looking for something specific, it is OK to email me.

Ebay or Amazon.com

Answer 4

Cheaper than what?

Ebay can be a good source. But some curriculum providers aren't very expensive. Depends on what you mean by "cheaper".

eBay.  Got a $30 textbook for a buck!  Good Luck.

Answer 6

half.com

It's an Extension on ebay but the have all sorts of books half priced or lower,great  especially for college text books that can get spendy.Just like throwing your $$$$$ away.They also have children's, adults,and teen books.They got it all.

Answer 7

half.com rocks!

if you use the ispn number most likely it will be the same exact book.  otherwise be careful of which edition or year it is.

Answer 8

The cheapest source we use is the local library (free).  About the only thing I have to buy is a math text.  Pretty much everything else (history, science, literature, writing, grammar) can be covered with books from the library.

Answer 9

Skip the textbooks. They are worse than garbage.

You can find great books at thrift stores (usually for $1 or $2 apiece or less), yard sales, Craigslist, library sales, and eBay.

We go to the Salvation Army every once in a while and come home with a carload of books. We have a home library now with hundreds and hundreds of books.

The kids learn from those. I have a set of Core Knowledge series books I read with them, and we used Hooked on Phonics to get the younger ones reading. (I made up the materials I used to teach the older kids to read, but when I had just 2 or 3 kids I had more time to spend with each one... Hooked on Phonics made it easy.)

Answer 10

Try ebay or amazon
