Yeah, Dawn Treader SUCKS in that regard. They buy for shit prices and sell for about 75% of cover price. They even have the gall to sell older books, that originally sold for $0.75 for like $4-7.
The bookstore I go to is in Warren. I used to work there. There's a single, easy policy: you get 1/2 cover price in store credit, purchases are at 1/2 cover price + $0.50. That's it. She has special types of credit for scifi, mystery, and a couple of others, but those credits can be used for "general" purchases as well. She generally has only newer books, from say the last four or five years, but her scifi section has stuff that's been out of print for decades. I miss having a place with such a simple, reasonable policy around. She makes good money because she doesn't rip off her customers. I almost never go to DT because I can't stand their greed.
