http://andrewgyny.blogspot.com/ I take a look inside a closing Borders Bookstore to see what all the hullaballoo is about. After doing a little research, it becomes quite obvious why they are being slaughtered by Amazon.

  • I'm going to fucking miss Borders...

  • Outliers, hardcover at Amazon 16.08- 2 day delivery 9.99 standard shipping- 3.00 + tax But if you spend over 25.00 free shipping 5-8 day delivery or as it becomes available. By Outliers at Borders 50% off it's around 15.00 and immediate gratification for having that book in your hand. Oh yeah, the Kindle version costs 9.99 to download a book. How is this a better deal? You lose the right to browse through a store, touch the book and read the back. Wonder if you'd buy a TV at Amazon??? LOL

  • @csrt4ss Thank you!! The coupons were great and you didn't have to pay shipping. Even if we shipped it to people, they got free shipping in the store, and usually even when they were home shopping online too.

  • Is it racist to smile at the placement of the glitch pink line perfectly covering the posters thin eyes? Yea... it is

  • Comment below? Okay. You're kind of a douche with a misrepresentation of facts. But, hey, whatever. Amazon is able to keep low prices because they operate under a different set of rules - for instance: no sales tax, no staff (hell, no "stores"), the ability to keep prices lower because sellers of used merch have to pay Amazon fees... This isn't a slam on Amazon, but when you get to operate under a different set of rules it makes it easy to succeed.

  • Emotionally vulnerable? Sorry we're all losing our jobs... And, we sold the books at LIST PRICE, and if you were smart (which you were probably one of the people who turned the FREE card down), you got coupons which made them at least a third off. But I see you know everything already, so I didn't have to tell you that, right?

  • and your view on how borders crush mom and pops stores and is now losing to the online stores, is exactly what i thought

  • that flashing purple line completely covers your eyes

  • Fuck you. I'm not emotional vulnerable--I'm emotional volatile. The next person who tells me "this is cheaper on Amazon" gets a swift kick in the ass.

  • It sucks donkey dick that Borders is closing.
