Reply to comment by vivahermione in Buying books in mass bad? by kornychris2016

I usually find parts of a series that way and other parts of the series at later times. Depends on the series, though. Trashy YA like House of Night is relatively easy to find, I guess because people don't want to hold on to them. But very beloved series either don't get donated as much, and/or get picked up by other people very quickly.

For the stuff I don't find at those sales, I put it on my shopping list.

Every time I find parts of series, they don't match. Some books may be hardbacks and others paperbacks. I'm particular, so I like them to match. Lol.

Totally valid! For me, it depends on the series and how attached I am to it. The more attached, the more pretty I want it to sit on my shelves.
