how's it going, booksellers? | Selling

I'm evaluating my business and it seems probable that I will experience a collapse next year. My sales here are virtually all due to special collections that won't last forever, and I am not able to find replacements. Meanwhile the books that I scout are going nowhere despite trying to limit what I buy to books with good prices and sales track record. I was off Amazon for a while then went back to see if these books will sell there, with dismal results. It pretty much feels like a money pit and busy work to scout books to list and not sell. Are you seeing any trends that imply the problem isn't necessarily if the books are good but that we have a rapidly shrinking buyer pool now?
