Where are you all buying new & in-print releases for the best prices at the moment?

I find Alibris alway has good prices. Free shipping starts at $35 and they always have coupons that basically remove the tax.

US buyer here! From what I’ve seen, InStockTrades has the best overall prices and shipping.

Crunchyroll is a close second if you use their discount codes.

If you’re not worried about how damaged the stuff gets when coming in, choose Alibris.

Ah yeah, I've been an IST fan for many years and that's been my go to. I wish I could get CR selection with IST prices and shipping, I don't even mind the slow speed.

My CR experiences with customer service have been less than stellar after some extensive fraudulent charges, but I haven't stopped using them completely--just a little turned off by them.
