Glad to hear BookBuyers found a new home.

That said, if they are going to survive, they really need to consider online sales through a used book marketplace like Abebooks.

I'm not convinced they will have enough foot traffic to keep a bricks-and-mortar-only book business afloat even if they are paying less in rent.

Gilroy is a considerably smaller town than Mountain View with a population density about half of that of Mountain View. Also, it's a rather rural community, not like the suburban South Peninsula with towns adjacent to each other (Palo Alto, Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale). Also, the per capita income in Mountain View is nearly twice that of Gilroy's.

Anyhow, best of luck to Ajaya.

I wish them all the luck in the world, and will miss them very much!

You can do it!

If he wants to stay open this time, it might be good to consider SELLING books as a priority, not simply exchanging bags and bags and bags and bags of books for other books.

I wish all the best to this man who has a great soul and he is a very good spirited . [Portion removed due to racist and offensive language]

I was saddened when I heard BookBuyers was closing. It was my favorite "go-to" place. Unfortunately, Gilroy is a bit too far for me.
I am going to miss you guys BIG-TIME!

Wishing you all good things in your new location.

That would help, as wood digitizing the inventory so that you could check online to see if a particular book is available.

Unfortunately, that requires lots of staff time to keep current.
