A good 80% of my books I get used, the other 20% are either series I’ve committed to, books I have very high hopes for, by authors I like, etc.
I’m a big Stephen King fan and I know I’m bound to find a decent sized amount of his books at most used bookstores, hence the majority of my King collection ends up being used.
When I know I’m not going to touch a certain book again, and I can’t find any purpose for having it on my shelf (I don’t have a huge amount of shelf space, so building up a big collection doesn’t appeal to me), I end up sticking it in a little free library or selling at a used bookstore, (you can often get a decent amount of credit as well, and the cycle continues)
