I'm looking to buy several books on Actionscript and such and whilst determining which I wanted through Amazon, I realized you could order books used for obscenely low prices. There is a rating system, and some of the users have very nice ratings and good comments, so would I be taking a big risk buying a book used?

For example, theres a certain $50 book I found with numerous sellers selling it used for under $5! Some seem like very legit sellers, like an ecampus.com seller, etc. Has anyone else bought a book used from Amazon and felt it was a great bargain?

Wow, I apologize for a double post, but I just ordered Super Samurai and Robert Penner's Flash MX Programming used off Amazon for a grand total of 15 bucks. Sweetness. W00t for Amazon!
