The dream seems to consist of two parts, the first is a bookstore and the second is a book. Now that the bookstore is available, only the books are missing, and it seems that the progress is 50% complete.

I almost fell into the reverie of a foolish youth, but luckily the beans pulled me back to a cold reality.

"I saw your photo just now, although it is not the real Lolita, according to the description of Nabokov's divine book - "Lolita", Lolita should be a girl under the age of 14."

My gaze swept over the bean's lips, "You try to see the tip of the tongue go up, in three steps, from the roof of the mouth down and gently down on the teeth, read - Luo." Beautiful. Tower. ”

Knowing that I was deliberately mocking, Douzi scratched his head and moved a chair to sit next to me, "Nabokov's book is honest, isn't "Lolita" the most famous? Am I supposed to like his book of butterflies out of a purely personal hobby......

"Nabokov's "Literary Lectures" is very good, highly recommended, but the old version has long been unavailable, but I heard that it will finally be reprinted, and after the reprint, the old version will not sell for hundreds of dollars."

"It's so expensive, is the second-hand book market so terrifying?"

People who don't know about second-hand books may not be able to think that a book that is priced at 20 yuan when it is published may sell for 120 yuan a year later.

This is also something I only discovered after my junior year, I used to want to find a book, open the Confucius used books network, and generally can always find a cheaper price than a new book, as long as the price is still reasonable after counting the shipping cost, I will happily buy the book back.

Later, it started to be wrong, and I found that whenever I wanted to buy a book, when I opened the Confucius Used Books website, the price must be more expensive than I imagined, and sometimes it will be a lot more expensive.

For example, Nabokov's "Literary Lectures", the one with the blue cover, published by Shanghai Joint Publishing Co., Ltd., which I couldn't buy two years ago, and "All Fires Return to One", which I couldn't find for a long time, and the books of several Spanish female writers.

For a while, I really thought that our family's second-hand bookstore seemed to have been in the fake second-hand book business for so many years, and now, the eyes of second-hand booksellers are behind our shoulders watching what books you are looking for.

As long as it is a book that cannot be bought on e-commerce sites such as Taobao, Jingdong, and Amazon, the price of Confucius's used books must have increased several times.

And all the merchants are like having a tracking database, and all the prices are raised. ”

I also told Douzi that it is no wonder that everyone now calls "Confucius Old Books Network" as "Confucius Antique Network".

After my sad introduction, Douzi also has a slightly insignificant understanding of the second-hand book market of e-commerce.

Why do I believe that it is insignificant, because I also know very little, and it is so easy to understand the business history.
