I haven't purchased from Thriftbooks before, but I have sold to them and they are a solid company. I help run a large Friends of the Library charity, and we've been dealing with Thriftbooks for years with no issues. (They take our leftover books, pay the shipping and split the profits from any sales with us.) I am a bit curious about where they are getting their audio/video media -- in the past they specifically declined to take those from us.

My order of the Radiohead was just cancelled, 3 hours after I placed it. Gotta say I hate the cancellation, but I appreciate the speed and clarity of the notification. AND they have already taken down the listing from the website.
Hmmm. Well I just placed an order for a Blue Note title and when I looked in my shopping cart, it said “All copies are in Shopping Carts” or something like that. Obviously one of those shopping carts was mine but now I’m wondering if someone else beat me to the draw. It did let me go ahead and make the purchase at least? I don’t buy a ton from Thriftbooks but I’ve never seen that messaging before. Anyone else?
This was my first time on the site - I put a copy of an LP that was listed as "Only 1 Left" into my cart. When I clicked on the listing again, it also listed as 'all copies in shopping carts'. I had also placed another disc in my cart that had something like 34 copies or so... when I went back to that listing it said '33 copies, and 1 in shopping carts'. If this is real-time inventory it's actually a nice feature, although it's apparently not foolproof (as noted by @DapperGentleman with the Radiohead LP a few posts back). Too bad more companies don't do this.
As noted above I had a dvd in my cart and then noticed they also had it listed on Amazon. When I purchased at Amazon, my thrift book cart had it listed as no longer available. Fwiw, my last 2 DVD from them listed as like new came sealed
I've been seeing this on different sites over the last month or so ....... I wonder if that's to get you to purchase faster on impulse ? just a thought . ETSY always did that "17 people also have this item in their cart & there are only 3 left" then you go back days later & 3 are still there . But i have been noticing other sites doing this .
Thriftbooks took down their vinyl for one day this week, then reappeared with a shorter list. Perhaps they did some inventory checking? Some cheapies on Thriftbooks today. Free Shipping kicks in at $15, so it's not hard to get to that level. This Is The Kit - Off Off On for $8.09. Several of us bought this a while ago and really enjoyed it.

One album I saw on this site today (which I don't think was mentioned before) is Felix Cavaliere's 2023 vinyl release 'Then And Now' for $8.69. A great old-style blue-eyed soul record for fans of Calvaliere's old band The Rascals. This record did not seem to be promoted at all when it was released last year, which is a shame as I think it would appeal to a lot of Forum members. (I couldn't even find a listing for the vinyl version on Discogs, but I have it and it's a very nice pressing.) It was definitely worth the $20 that I paid for it, and for $8.69 I would definitely consider it a bargain indeed. See the thread HERE from last fall talking about the release. Just wanted to make folks aware in case there is any interest.
I have been enjoying the Thriftbooks site. It has been updated daily with new stuff recently. Today 100+ new vinyl titles added. Some will be cheap, some will not. Things I saw Gayle - A Study Of The Human Experience for $10.26. She opened some of the Taylor Swift shows last year A Study Of The Human Experienc album Sparta was spun out of At The Drive-In. Their album received a vinyl reissue in 2023. $11.35 Sparta album Emo band Scary Kids Scaring Kids are still going. Their latest is $11.35 Out Of Light album John Hiatt's 'Tiki Bar Is Open' has been cheap everywhere. $10.26 The Tiki Bar Is Open album Russkaja is an Austrian metal band that plays 'Polka Metal', kinda fun and weird. $10.26 Turbo Polka Party album Joy Zipper's 'American Whip' got a vinyl reissue. $8.09 American Whip album Titus Andronicus 'Will To Live', 2022, 3 sides, $8.99 The Will To Live album Armor For Sleep are still going. Rain Museum is $11.35 The Rain Museum album 'Greensleeves Gold', a 2022 1LP compilation of reggae on the Greensleeves label, $10.26 Greensleeves Gold album Pet Fox - classic emo sound, jangly bedroom, then crashing guitars. Worth $8.09 if you enjoy this stuff A Face In Your Life album Ginger from The Wildhearts, with the Sinners, for $10.26 Ginger Wildheart & The Sinners album Oh wow! Karen Aurelia Smith's 'Let's Turn This Into Sound'. Popular electronica presence in Los Angeles. $10.26 Let's Turn It Into Sound Yellow album Shoot, I truly paid $30 for this. Florist is an Emily Sprague project, dreamy and quiet. Love this. $11.35 Florist album ... but this is what I am buying today. Baby Cool 'Earthling', an Australian indie / psyche pop project with female vocals. So far it's my favorite. $10.26 Earthling On The Road To Self Love album Remina 'Strata' is good too. It's labeled as some sort of metal thing, but it's more Cocteau Twins / dreampop than that, with female vocals that come and go. $8.09 Remina Strata album OSS is Alex Patterson from The Orb. Enter The Kettle is $11.35 Enter The Kettle album Josie Cotton's 2010 album got a vinyl reissue in 2021. $8.09 Pussycat Babylon album Diane Coffee had a new album. He's from Foxygen, his albums are fun. 'With People' is $10.26 With People album Michael Des Barre's band Detective had their debut album remastered (?) and reissued in 2022. $8.09 Detective album Oh, shoot, buy this! Shoegaze / Dream Pop fans! Slow Crush's 'Hush' for $11.35 Hush album Bret Naucke's Mirror Ensemble is a good electronica / ambient / experimental thing for $8.09 Mirror Ensemble album Jeanines have another album? Classic jangly-pop sound with crystal clear female vocals. On Slumberland, $10.26 Don't Wait For A Sign album
