[quote name='dmaul1114']Yeah, I think they really made a mistake by focusing so much on movies and music when they sold them at such high prices.
That necessitated having huge warehouse stores with huge rents which did them in.
If they'd stayed smaller and focused on books and their coffee shop they'd probably still be doing ok. Book prices were usually ok, especially with their rewards card etc. Everything else was absurdly over priced.[/QUOTE]
^ All of this. I can remember when they expanded their BR/music section at my store and I was floored by how much they were charging for stuff. Even on books, especially in the last couple of years, it seemed like Borders was at least $3 - $10 more than other B&Ms, let alone Amazon.
