I've found that Amazon, surprisingly, often has the best prices for collectible books. Their prices often beat Alibris and even Amazon's own AbeBooks. Click "advanced" when in the Amazon book section and you can do very detailed searches for specific book editions and publication dates.

However, Amazon doesn't have quite as large a selection of the older stuff. You still need Abe and Alibris to check for more esoteric texts.

eBay is terrible.

Pretty much everything he/she said. Abebooks still has a lot more of the hard-to-find stuff, but Amazon prices are generally cheaper.

I use addall.com. Its easy to use and will search multiple sites (kinda like kayak but for books) so you can compare prices and sellers.

I used to use it, but the advanced search doesn't have a field for date or publisher anymore :(

Abe.com is the best of the best.

http://www.vialibri.net/ is great. Checks most of the major sites including ABE

ABAA.org is the best place to start- all vetted professional booksellers- most of the best books currently on the market live here

I use BookFinder along with those mentioned above.
