Went to my local closing Borders last weekend and it was a madhouse. Hard to even find parking. The checkout line was unbelievable. The funny thing is the books I found that I would be interested in purchasing are available on Amazon for 40% off full retail. Borders "fire sale" had them at only 20% off full retail. The two books are $70 each so it would make a big difference.
So my initial thought on seeing the huge crowd was, why don't they just discount everything 20% everyday? My second thought was, why am I wasting my time here when I can get the books I want cheaper online? My third thought, haven't all these people heard of Amazon? They did have magazines at 40% off and I would have bought one or two except for the super long line.
