I did a search on my school's library site and there are at least 200 books in Ancient Greek that are available (as in not checked out) at the moment when I searched 'Plato' only. I'd suggest looking at your schools library site.

Ebay and Amazon don't have very many books. I've been looking for books in Russian - Amazon has zero basically and Ebay has a ton of harry potter and teen books. The only good thing about Ebay is that you might get lucky and find a lot with multiple books in whatever language you want. But german books are easy to find on amazon just go to the german amazon site.

If you want something for free and can't find it in a library you are going to have to deal with it and use internet resources.

Also I did a websearch for 'Russian bookstore' and found a lot of sites that sell books online.
