And getting back to my second question, has anyone had any good or bad experiences with them?

Well I've bought from their used and new section a lot.Got some good bargains too and these don't appear to be cutting into Amazons profits either.They are very useful for the odd book/game that are no longer being published in the main stream.I even got my version of XP from them.
So I think that this new idea could work very well indeed.Especially as MOST people would prefer to buy brand new from Amazon than buy used.People like me who don't mind or don't insist on BRAND NEW items will be the better off for it.
