The meaning is really quite different.
1) Is this your habit?
2) Is this your experience?

In every day English these two sentences are used the same way. However, technically, they mean something slightly different.
Do you ever buy second-hand books? asks if you regularly buy second-hand books or if buying second hand books is your habit or custom.
Have you ever bought second-had books? asks if you bought second-hand books in some general time in the past.
