@jenlowe because everyone wants to list online first?

@scott yeah folks go first thing and buy up everything decent in a big lot to then resell online. Used to be able to browse and find good stuff, but those days are over

@jenlowe hmmm too bad

Our local library has a sale twice a year I think. It’s great. But they get donations specifically to sell to raise funds to support the library. They accept donations year round and volunteers organize the whole book sale. I guess we are lucky to have that!

@scott we have the same here, but resellers show up in the first hours and grab boxes and boxes of the highest quality books; they have barcode scanners and are racing through checking resale prices
