Megalister

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A megalister or mega-lister is a large online seller of second-hand and rare books with more than 500,000 listings, who doesn't own all of the books he sells. Megalisters offer their books for sale at large online book marketplaces like Abebooks and Alibris. When a book is wanted, the megalister orders it from another bookseller who really owns the book, offering it for a lower price. Either the bought book is then sent to the customer directly, a drop-shipping operation, or it is first sent to the megalister's warehouse and then posted to the customer.
