Me neither. I think my total was a bit over 2200 - I just clicked and changed pages mindless while watching TV (over a couple of nights). I only had 1200 or so in my first search, though, so went back and grabbed all the Sci-Fi/Fantasy, then Romance (smaller group!) and was working on the Mystery when I fell asleep. By the next evening, it was over, so I missed quite a few in that category.
Not that I'll ever get thru all the ones I have, but our family has differing reading interests, so there are quite a few I won't read that someone else will.
At list or current selling value, that's roughly $20K in books - assuming some aren't at $10 and several are above (quite a bit of the Non-Fiction went that high after the sale ended).
Now, multiply that by how many thousands of people heard about the sale.... Even the more restrained pick up well over a grand in books, ad they paid full retail, with most in the several thousand range, from what I've seen.
