I really like them, but depending upon what you are looking for, they may have a wait list (but they do allow you to be notified when a book comes back in stock).
I love technology, but I’m sad to see what it has lead to. What used to be something fun and enjoyable to engage in, now presents itself as an intrusion and attack upon personal privacy and security.
These days, I’m more focused on protecting my privacy/security.

Used book stores are great, and I’ve used Thrift Books online many a times. The problem is that I have a lot of physical books and the wife wants me to scale down. As a result, I had to switch to a Kindle so that I can have more books without cluttering up our space more.
With Thrift Books, I’ve found their ‘book condition’ references to be much better than what you’d expect. For instance, I’ve received books that were labeled as “good” and found them to be in much better condition.
YMMV, but I’ve found them to be a good option.
Conversely, since I’ve had my Kindle, I’ve found a lot of free books through Gutenberg.org.
Nowadays, I have to stay away from physical bookstores or else I’ll pick up something and my wife will not be happy.
Notes from a Dead House by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Very interesting so far. I’m about a third of the way through it.
Notes From The Underground - Fyodor Dostoevsky. It’s a dark mirror that presents itself to me. And while I detest looking at it, I also find it difficult not to.
