I prefer a store that sells both new and old books. The new books are likely to be worthless (if not already today, then before long), but okay, they pay the rent. (ALL of my fav used-only stores are gone.) There are many books and little time. So 1) most books worth reading will be remembered a decade or a century later, and will be talked and/or written about for a long time. 2) Buying a used book is a risk for the bookstore, and they vet each book that walks in to be sure it's likely to sell. Most of the books I've read and held onto got past both those filters; I've heard about the book, am interested, and there's still a copy out there. And so, the store which sells both new and old is the only game in town. Will I ever buy a book online? IFF the place sells used books. Else: interlibrary loan is a great service.
