paleoHello, my name is Paleo and I'm a book hoarder.
I'm seriously thinking of doing a book purge. The problem is I absolutely cannot bring myself to part with a book unless I know it will be "safe", as in goes to someone who wants it. I worked for years at HPB and unfortunantly, many books do end up in the dumpster. I still sell to them when I think the book has a good chance, but I wish I had other options.
I also have been wanting to get rid of various stuff, everything from a Master Splinter action figure still in the box to a collection of plastic toy canines to a doll of The Crow to a deer antler. I'd like to make at least a little money off of it or at least not loose money trying to rehome it.
Ideally I'd like to barter, but Houston doesn't have a good culture set up for folks to gather and swap stuff.
Also, does anyone have good ideas for clothes that are beyond wearable? Ripped pants, holey socks, company shirts, torn leather jacket. The environmentalist in me cringes at the thought of chunking anything if something can be done with it. I can't think of any craft ideas that I'd realistically get around to doing. Is there some use for all that fabric though?
