Like someone else said, people volunteer their time to man and organize the library book sales. Sometimes, not all of the books are sold to the sales I go to, but they are then put up for sale the next time they organize these events. I don't think that my library actually sells them on the internet when they're done with a sale.
I would prefer to buy the books in person than online because I like to see and feel the quality of the product I am buying. Not to mention that I think that more than a handful of patrons are like me and have about 2 years worth of reading ahead of them. I know my bookshelves are full.

What am I supposed to tell my dad when he needs to play Yahoo! games with his Win98 machine?
Haven't you ever heard of the three D's?

2. Difficult
3. Dangerous
Not sure where robot pr0n fits in there...
