My good deed for the day! As i get nothing for this promation I am only a modest member.

I noticed so many of these reviews are old so I decided to update it a bit. Not only can you swap books for (credits), the price of postage but you also get access to extremely discounted brand new books via the PBS Market. Remember becoming a memeber is free. They have a kiosk on site to buy more credits or add pbs money (to buy postage and print it while swapping or use it as money for ANYTHING on site) and you can get books from this PBS FREE Member Appreciation Books (MAB NEW Free Member Appreciation Book (with 1 Book Credit + $3.99 Shipping and Handling). You can order this book for yourself or give it as a gift to someone else at no extra charge! Book quantities are limited. Orders are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so please order quickly to avoid being disappointed. Can you get any better than that free books for cleaning out your book shelf! Here is a regular PBS Market example. Just add books you want to a wishlist if its in the market it automatically tells you or it shows when you can get it from a member. I have had about 80% of mu wishlist books show up in market and when done swap it for credits! So a lot of the books you get are in like new condition maybe read once by a member who bought it via market. This is much better than the amazon market for new/used discounted books. Also you have a place where you put book conditions like no pets, smoking etc, the swapper must meet this or get penalized if they cant another person gets notified until you get a book you want. Don't want dog eared put it down wont happen! So here is examples of PBS market vs Amazon real time.
Heres an example Gone Girl Hardcover

FAQs About the Market

Are these new books? Yes! They are all new. The Overstock books may have some shelf wear and also may have "remainder" marks (usually a pen mark on the bottom edge). Super Sellers are brand new without any remainder marks.
How is PBS getting books so inexpensively? Where do the books come from? Trees. Books come from trees. No, seriously - we have a special contractual arrangement with some different sources - separate sources for the Overstock books and the Super Sellers - and this is allowing us to pass along these great prices to our members.
Are there unlimited copies? No - so if you see a book you want, you should grab it! Some books are available only in limited quantities.
How often does the stock change? Hourly (at least during the workday).
How can I pay for the books? You can use a credit or debit card, your PayPal account, or PBS Money. The only payment options currently are online. Sorry, mail-in payments (checks/money orders) are not accepted.
