    I'm looking for a few specific things. I'm watching auctions on ebay and I've been to Vegsource (no luck.)

    Any suggestions on other places online that are trustworthy to buy cheap used homeschool materials?

    Homeschool classifieds is by far my favorite, but amazon is also good, and if I'm buying used I always check the price at christian book first, sometimes it's cheaper to buy new!

    Also check your local homeschool groups, many of them have curriculum sales. Craigslist sometimes yields results, though not often.

    homeschool classifieds is good. If you belong to HSLDA they have a spot on their website. I have also had luck on ebay too.

    We have a used Christian bookstore in town that has a HUGE homeschool area. Perhaps you have an undiscovered treasure somewhere.

    I'm looking for inexpensive copies of:
    IEW -Institute for Excellence in Writing (Teacher Writing - Structure & Style w/DVDS or VHS and Student Writing Intensive, Level B)
    Sonlight 100, with or without the books

    Might be interested in Greek for Children, primer A and possibly a Spanish program for a 7th grader.

    Thanks for the links to other places. I'll be checking them out as well.

    There was a huge store in WA where I used to live. They ship and I found their prices to be pretty fair. They are called Homeschool Potpourri. here is a link to their website. http://www.homeschoolpotpourri.com/

    I buy on Ebay quite frequently. Sometimes I have to bid on quite a few items to finally get one for the price I'm willing to pay, though. If I can't find it on there, I buy new. I find a lot of stuff at garage sales too.
