New vs. Used Bookstores

Vote 0 Votes

Hi All,

I just went through my signed book collection and pruned out some of the books that I no longer wanted. I sold them on my business website as well as to ebay.com and a used bookstore.

It got me thinking: Where do people buy their books?

I frequent new and used bookstores, both independent and chain. I guess I am an equal opportunist buyer. I buy new books when I can at new bookstores, but when I am looking for an older edition or something rare, I visit the used.

How do you shop? Are you an Amazon person? B&N? Do you have to walk into a bookstore to buy a book? Or are you comfy with online buying? I have a hard time buying online because most of the time the books arrive damaged in some manner.
