Recession + EBooks + Barnes&Nobel = RIP Borders

idc about barnes and noble; they don't give me 40% off coupons every other week

this is why I am distraught:

is what I could get from borders.

Amazon sells used books; you'd save an additional ~15% on top of the discount you previously had.

amazon is cheaper and more convenient than like any real bookstore ive been to in yrs. and i buy tons of books....

but mine are brand new dead. higher resale value.

plus i'm getting them from borders which is a bookstore i trust, not from some dude on amazon with 73% positive feedback.

Haha higher resell value? You are wrong.

The difference between new and used on the market is a much higher gap then between used and used.

You can buy and used book and sell it for the same price a year later (because it is still used).

You can't buy a new book and sell it again at new can you?

So you buy the 140 book new from Borders w/ discount and sell back as used for 120.

Or you can buy the used at 120 and resell at 120 if you keep it in good condition.

Tada

and boogs, I do most of my borders shopping online if I'm buying things like textbooks. I like to go to the store and read a chapter before I buy a book if I'm buying it for pleasure reading.

Ummm the guy with 73% rating is still around; Borders out of business...
