Well, when you're a book collector with some expensive books, then you don't put them in a box and dump them in the basement.
My F/F First American hardcover editions of
J.M.G. LeClezio aren't going to be donated! [Hahahahahah!]
Go check the prices on his first 5 books in this condition. (I've got three of them.)
Of course, I could sell them and then use the $1,200-$2,000 to perhaps buy
one rose for my wife, and then buy yet another ebook Reader for me [that's insane!]....or perhaps buy that
McIntosh 252 amplifier that I've been lusting after (with a bit more cash, I might add) to mate up with my
McIntosh 6300 Integrated Amp that I just bought. And then, just sit back and listen to the lush sounds of
Miles Davis and
Bill Evans.
Mmmmmmm......
