I don't have a lot of high dollar value books. What I do have is nice reading material. But I'm in the winter of my years, so accordingly I have been moving out a lot of stuff whether through MCS, giving to friends or donating to the local charity store. At the start of the year, my goal was to pare down my collection by 50%. Pretty close to doing that, but it isn't enough. Do I really want to hold on to some books because I might get a dollar in trade credit a year or two from now?
This is my second purge since I got back into collecting in 1987. I probably have less than 20 long boxes ( if I emptied the gajillion shortie boxes in the Closet Of Doom into long boxes).
