I guess I'll find out when I start running out of place.

So: do you collect books?
I suppose. I hardly ever get rid of any, if that's what you mean.
do you purchase books specifically for collecting?
Not really, though in the case of series, once I have one or a couple I do try to get the rest (unless for some reason I'm only interested in one or a couple of the series), in the same edition if at all possible.
do you sell books when you are done with them?
I've never sold a book. Nor given away very much, so yeah, I guess I keep pretty much all the books I acquire. But then I don't acquire books at such a very fast rate.
do you borrow a lot of books in the library?
Yes. I'm starting to buy more now that I have a regular income, but still I couldn't do without the library.
do you buy used books?
Definitely. At the end of the day I don't care too much what a book looks like - not enough that I'd spend much more money on a nicer-looking or newer copy, anyway. So if I can get a book I want, or a book that seems interesting, in a used bookstore, for a cheap price, I certainly will. Though sometimes I guess I get overenthusiastic and buy books I never read.
Addendum to previous survey: do you hoard books or pass them on/sell them when you are done?

I don't hoard books, they just have a tendency to end up in my presence.

As of now, I still have room on my bookshelf so I don't need to get rid of anything.

I wouldn't say I collect books for collection's sake, but I don't get rid of them either
