Alicia64 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi Everyone, Still feeling brand new to hs. I'm really interested in buying Sing, Spell, Read and Write -- but it's pricey. Everybody talks about buying used, but I don't know where to start. Could you point me in the right directions? Thanks, Alicia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christielee7278 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 There is a sell and swap board on this forum. Also I like www.homeschoolclassifieds.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeefreak Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I don't use ebay anymore. Once you figure in shipping, ebay gets their cut and paypal gets their cut, it racks up the price considerably. I use Homeschoolclassifieds.com and these boards. I've never had a problem buying or selling on here, but on ebay I've had numerous problems. I just make sure I'm very, VERY specific whether I'm buying or selling. That way, there are no surprises for me or the other party. I'm over specific to the point of saying which page numbers are damaged/written on if I'm the seller :lol:. If I'm buying, I have in my head the most I'm willing to pay for it used. That helps me look and negotiate. If something is new, I'm usually willing to pay 80% of the "new from the company" price, but that includes shipping. If something is used but in excellent/very good condition, it depends but never more than 80%. Part of that involves shipping. I can get free shipping from all the vendors if I spend a certain amount. Sometimes, this makes it cheaper for me to buy new instead of piecemealing it together. I know that sounds like a lot to digest, but hopefully I helped:blush: blessings! Dorinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I like www.homeschoolclassifieds.com. :iagree: These are my favorites for buying and selling over 10+ years of homeschooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAberlin Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I would be careful buying Sing Spell Read and Write used. You will want to ask a lot of questions since there are so many components to the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
