I did it once and have always regretted it--nevertheless, several websites are encouraging folks to sell booksthey'll never read again.
As Pottermania starts to crest in Britain, some independent booksellers there believe that HP5 won't be a boon for them. The cause is, of course, massive discounting by the chains; the article suggests that one, Tesco (a supermarket chain in Britain) could be losing as much as a Pound per book. I suppose it makes sense as a loss-leader? Only the book business could find a way to lose money on Harry Potter...There's gotta be a better way....
