The company was backed by venture capital until 2006, when it was purchased by Oak Hill Capital Partners, a private equity firm. Booksellers list their inventories on Alibris which in turn offers the books on its retail website, a separate library services site, and business to business partners such as Barnes & Noble, Borders Books, Books-A-Million, and Chapters Indigo. It offers more than 70 million books from a network of over 10,000 booksellers in 65 countries. Most sales made through Alibris are fulfilled by the bookseller directly to the end customer. Sales to libraries or other institutions or books needing transoceanic shipping are consolidated in a distribution center in Sparks, Nevada. Alibris also has a similar network for music and movies. Alibris lets you sell and buy at the same time. It charges a starting fee of $19.99, a fee that varies based on what you're selling what kind of commission they charge.
