Find Books at Bookfinder

You probably won't be surprised that I, as an English professor, am a book junkie. More than likely I will buy more books this year than you'll buy in your entire college career. If not, then welcome to the wonderful world of book hoarding. Regardless, you probably don't want to spend more money on the books you buy--whether they be Harry Potter hardcovers or textbooks--than you have to. That's where a site like Bookfinder comes in handy. This resource searches a host of sites in search of the best buy, new or used, on a book you specify. It's similar to Best Book Buys, but Bookfinder has the advantage of searching new AND used offerings. On the other hand, Bookfinder does not organize by ISBN, so you might need to sift through a number of listings, all with slightly different titles, in order to find the bargain you're seeking.
And I still haven't found the site that will search both Amazon's used books and eBay in one move. That would be something worth creating for a programmer, although there's no money in sending people to eBay listings.
