Don't be shocked ... I'm getting rid of some paperbacks! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. ORyansBelt2012 (2113)   ranked 37 out of 10,270 in reading7 months ago

I just went through my stack upon stacks of paperbacks and I found about a dozen I am willing to part with in trade, so I'm off for the Used Book Store here in town, a little mom and pop shop called Sarah's Books on Main in Moncks Corner.
This town really is like a storybook town here.
It's pretty neat.
So at 10:35 AM on a Friday morning I'm off for the bookstore.
Do you have a hard time letting go of paperbacks?
I do... the minute I trade these in I'll come across something that will make me want to read these very books I'm trading in.

I am in love with books...If only I had a library...Its almost impossiable for me to let go of my books...They are my friends...Where I live up the road we have a great used book store where you can buy or trade out books...I adore this place and spend hours just reading the books...I just don't know if I could ever trade in any of my books...I need to get rid of some books becuase they will have the house soon and I will be sadly on the street...lol...Your braver then me...

I have a hard time getting rid of anything but my wife takes care of that for me. Since we have moved a lot in our married life we have had yard sales. I can't believe we still have so much stuff we need to move to a bigger house. I even have a car out in back that I bought in 1982. We had it when we moved here or it probably would have been gone by now.

I've got an Infiniti G20 that I'm going to sell for parts. I may get $500 for it.


myLot reputation of 88/100. lotterylover (4824)   ranked 1,995 out of 10,270 in reading  7 months ago

If I could get $50.00 for mine I would be lucky. It is an Impala.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20332)   ranked 86 out of 10,270 in reading  7 months ago

I loved the Impala I owned, but you are right, it probably is not worth much now, if you bought it in 1982.

A long time ago I decided I wanted to have my own library..so started collecting books....all hard cover....but lately they have lost their appeal....so I have been donating them to our library that has it's own used book store...they sell the donated books to buy new ones for the library....and it's nice to have a place where you can buy used book!

Books... and possessions in general are only as valuable to you as how many times you are willing to move it.

I am at a point right now that the space I have filled with books has more value than the books, and I am ready to let them go. Doubt if they are worth anything in trade, but I will make sure they go to good homes. They need someone who needs to read them. I love those storybook kinds of towns.

did you already read them or not? Pretty much I won't get rid of a book unless I've read it and don't think I'll ever want to read it again. Actually, I'm reading one of those right now, The Man in the Dark Suit. Its interesting, but I don't really think I have any interest in re-reading it, its okay, but not that good.

I have a hard time letting go of books not because I don't want to swap them it's just we have nowhere TO swap them. I wish we had a decent book store in the town I live near, I for one would be good customer.

Hi there. Well, I'm the type who doesn't read books more than once (the only exception, so far, being The Little Prince) so I don't really buy books that often. When I do, however, I'm usually willing to part with them as soon as I finish reading them. lol I usually sell such books on e-bay since there isn't really any decent used book store to sell them to nearby. lol

After moving numerous times I began to realize just how much stuff I was not using and yet carrying around with me from new home to new home! It's so much bulk and clutter and I decided to have a big purge of all my books, including college books and paper backs, I just bundled them all up into bags and took them down to my local charity shop, it's too much hassle trying to sell them individually on Ebay or Amazon and besides it's much better to give to charity! Now I have about half a dozen books and that's it! So much easier to move! Now, if I want any books I will go to the library besides books are so damn expensive aren't they.
