Re:I'd love to have a used book store

On: Kindle or Not, a Resurgence In Used Bookstores

while you can have control over your life in a successful business, a failing one will consume your soul, your family and everything you own

be careful, whims and dreams dont pay bills, which you will have

Re:I'd love to have a used book store

On: Kindle or Not, a Resurgence In Used Bookstores

high-school and college students generally dont have money, there are bills to pay in a 2 story building in a good area

Re:I'd love to have a used book store

On: Kindle or Not, a Resurgence In Used Bookstores

so you want a store that sells coffee and cookies to 4-5 people who dont have a job otherwise they wouldn't linger at a bookstore for 2/3rds a day

sounds brilliant

problem with used book stores

On: Kindle or Not, a Resurgence In Used Bookstores

Everyone's got a shit ton of them, every thrift store is 1/3 used books, and other than thrift stores you cant give the damn things away. Now you think if you fill a building full of stuff no one wants, you will be able to sustain anything?

no, no one cares about buying used paperback romance novels, so you better have a specialty, like antique rare books. Are most used book stores mismanages, your damn right, they opened a used book store!
