You guys have hit on my worst fear as well. I have been talking to the owner of my favorite shop, urging him to put some books & clearance items on Ebay rather than limiting their exposure to just the "walk-in" customers. Obviously, there are items we have no interest in that might sell with the vast market available on the net. I honestly believe that the small shops need to utilize the internet to move their "dead stock". I could be wrong, but it sure is worth a try. Just my 2 cents.
