@anartist It might be different having them there in front of people walking by, then on the internet, where I think people generally look for a particular title. Not that I am trying to push my fathers books, just trying to be helpful, and obviously honest, it would be books that most likely are slow in his inventory, but it also might be books that have dropped down to a very low price on the internet, that he prefers to just move out of his inventory. I have CD’s I sell online, and once they go below $4.00 the trip to the post office almost isn’t worth it to me, and I might be willing to get rid of the for cheap if I can do it all at once, and clear them out.
My dad shops at The Strand when he is in NY, I meet him there sometimes. He shops for personal books, and books to resell.
