I would not buy borders ..
they have too many disadvantages vs online
sellers in general and amazon specifically:

1) lower fixed costs - much less in bricks and mortar
2) NO INVENTORY - don't even consider the idea of inventory turns
3) live off the float .. they get their money now, suppliers in net 30 (I think that is true)
4) lower cost of sale - in addition to lower fixed costs, greater sales volume per employee. I made that up .. but before buying would certainly find out for sure.

where did I go wrong ?

regards
