It feels good to clean house! I actually haven’t listed the Hobbs yet but I got one inquiry I need to honor first when I get a sec. I’ll let you know if they’re still available in case you need temptations to buy books you don’t need haha.
I loved this video. You are helping me to make needed decisions. Thank you for being a fellow organizer. My plan for 2025 includes more unhauling to make my library a more peaceful space.
That makes me so happy. Thank you! It’s such a process. The more times I go through it, the more it seems to come together. Here’s to simplifying in 2025!
I sell a lot of books on pango and I invested in padded envelopes of two sizes, one small for paperbacks and a larger one that fits 1-2 hardcovers. If I ship two... well, the hardcovers tend to be wrapped. Seriously, you can just wrap them in paper towels and it'll help protect them especially in a padded envelope. Though I think my new favorite thing is shelf liner; though ordering actual bubblewrap is probably cheaper :) I am on the last book of Temeraire.
It really hurts to get hardbacks damaged in shipping - good job for taking good care of them! I get enough packing material from all the books I order (🤦🏻♀️) that I haven’t needed to buy any yet.
@@TheObsessiveBookseller Partly some of the stuff I sell is my old D&D collection so some of it is priced quite high. I do not want anything banged up in shipping. I try to take lots of pictures especially if there is existing staining (mostly age and dust) or any other issue. I don't want buyer's remorse :)
This was amaizing as it gives view into how you think about items in collection. I need to be also hardcore as you. I collect tooo much 🧐 . . . Yes books but I am into some anime figures....and that is expensive 😮💨 but I am enjoying myself ☺️💖 !!! Just opened a Sakura Miku with Lantern. So so so perfect in PINK and cherries are my favorite frut. Now I want a second one. Know exactly which one ☺️✨️🙈 Lovebthat green-ich blink blink and the blue one that "sit".
Thank you - most of this stuff has been on my shelves a couple decades and I’m just sick of looking at it. I’m also getting better at honing in on just the pieces that are really special to me and being more and more willing to let go of the rest.
Those Dragonlance books, The Dragons and The Dragons At Wars, one is a short story collection and one is a sequel to the last short story, and I enjoyed both.
I did get most of the things I had on my shelves and either put them in a drawer or in a box in the cellar. I will throw other things out before I throw them out due to sentimental value but I was tired of them just getting dusty.
A good purge feels good once in a while to reset. That way whatever you bring back out comes with a bit more intentionality. I need to do this in my office.
I hear that! I’ve been hanging onto these for so long, I’m kind of tired of them finally. And it helps that I finally found ones I really love, whereas the ones I’m letting go were bought when they were the best I could find at the time.
I lately don't order books online if it can be avoided, because they always get damaged even if new.😢 I rather order and ask them to be delivered to the nearest bookshop and go pick them up there.
Me too, it’s such a pain to go through all of the return processing. Whereas you know bookstore people get it and are more likely to take care of your copy. If I wasn’t such a recluse I’d do it that way more often rather than gambling.
@@TheObsessiveBookseller About people not guessing he was alive, I guess it was because he was a pariah in his comunity. People didn't approach him because he would be sacrificed if the need was there so everybody made an effort not to care.
It was less that and more no one noticing there were two of them, especially the girlfriend. There was a specific tech reason but it’s has been too long and I can’t remember what struck me.
Wow this was a massive unhaul Niki! Your Hobb unhaul is something I’m sad I missed. Not that I need them all physically, but it’s tempting lol.

@ haha ok cool

It makes me tired just watching you deal with all this inventory. The fact that you enjoy the space more says a lot.
I’m so tired. I figured I have to start digging myself out gradually. Although this wasn’t very gradual haha
It's a big one indeed. I didn't even know coverless copies was a thing. Cool video. A lot of space cleared just in time for the Christmas haul 😂
Haha I’m deliberately not acknowledging how many I’ll be bringing in next!

That’s good to know. I may look into digital copies at some point. It will be telling if I’m still thinking about them in a few months.

I would really struggle getting rid of my dragons. I have zero room left but can't get rid lol. I also have the little blue ty stuffed dragon.

I considered Mickey 7 very funny in a silly way, it was a 4 star read for me, but a lot of people didn't like it.
I must not have been in the right mindset. All the logistics of it were bothering me.
