When buying off amazon or ebay do you buy brand new books or used ones ?
as long as used one is in good condition then I don’t mind x
I usually go for second hand, get more books for your money
New
I bought second hand and when they arrived there was a price inside which was obviously from a charity shop and I ended up paying more for the book then what they did and they were not in very good condition so would not buy them again off them. At least if I go charity shop I can see the condition. Xx
Kindle
If i buy new books its usually Asda or Tescos second hand from charity shops and kindle x
I buy both new and second hand and on the kindle
Kindle if I can
Library
Always new!!
Brand New
Every time!!
Then they go to the charity shop once read.
Me too. I sell the hardbacks on eBay
I never use them. I go to http://halfpricebooks.com/ to get my books
I buy my books from Tesco or regularly visit my local charity shops.x
If I’m wanting to go to a bookstore, I always go to Half Price Books. If I order online, I’ll buy a kindle book depending if I have other books by that author, like a series. If it’s a book and author I’m not sure about, I’ll see if the library has it first. If not, I’ll buy it used from a seller on Amazon and if I don’t like it, I’ll sell it to my local bookstore.
Both new and used, or my Kindle.
Usually new unless I’m struggling to get hold of one
Used I got a few good ones for as low as 1p
Only buy brand new off Amazon.
I buy new off Amazon, nothing like the feel of a new book ? but should say only if I can’t get in town or charity shops, so doesn’t happen very often.
Used
thinking of buying used from amazon , save me some money
Charity shop xx

Both or 4 kindle xx
I always buy used from charity shops in some you can get 4for£1 and they are in good condition
I quite often buy used books from Amazon. I’ve never ended up with a book in bad condition, they are usually as advertised. However, because I live in Ireland I find myself buying more books from The Book Depository recently as it’s free postage & a new book. I do wait until the price comes down though.
As a retired librarian I was spoilt and always had access to the new books first, so I have turned into a book snob cannot read a dirty book, so have to wait for special offers or presses, I know it’s a horrible thing to admit to.
Depends on how my bank balance is !!! If I am a little low on funds I go for second hand and then if I feel flush I buy brand new. I also buy the deals on Kindle too.
I go to the library.
I too like the library but sometimes there are books that I want to own. Love the library. A x
I buy used and they have always been in good condition
Kindle or second hand but also use my library every week for the latest paperbacks and buy some from charity shops!
Both xxx
Usually I preorder the new releases so have to pay the price
Both. It depends on what I’m buying. If the book is potentially one that I will want to add to my library, I buy new and sometimes buy hardback. If the book is something like a crime novel that I’m likely to pass on to a friend, on the book’s inevitable path to a charity shop, then I’ll happily go for used books. I’ll also buy used if the title in question is out-of-print.
Both, but I buy for a library – although I don’t mind having used books on my shelves at home.
Both, idc as long as it’s a book, I love charity shops too.
Non fiction tends to be new, but I get the cheapest novels I can from wherever.
Both whichever is cheapest
Don’t have an option, am allergic to print so have to use a Kindle
Used if poss. Especially study books
I look for cheapest
Whichever is cheapest
