We have to drop them off ourselves, though. <br /><br />Selling things on line for 1 cent hardly seems worth the trouble of having to take them to the post office and so on -- if indeed they sell at all!Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-60019998377829378702015-05-20T08:41:41.832+02:002015-05-20T08:41:41.832+02:00Goodness, you read five books a week that you then...Goodness, you read five books a week that you then take sporadically to NZ? I dread to think how much you pay in excess baggage!!<br /><br />I'm probably going to donate these books to Emmaus. It seems they are not great sellers so could be hanging around for months if I try to sell them. I've got other stuff to take too, so it would get it all out of my hair in one go. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-91964537307400646872015-05-19T21:18:09.751+02:002015-05-19T21:18:09.751+02:00Give them to family _ yes I take them all the way ...Give them to family _ yes I take them all the way to NZ - and donate and give to friends. We decided when we did our remodel not to have book cases or keep books as i never read them again. As I buy sometimes up to five books a week there is a lot of donating that goes on _ I am a voracious reader. i don't want ot read on a kindle because im already so often at the computerAbout Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-8419582352375105812015-05-13T09:12:15.658+02:002015-05-13T09:12:15.658+02:00I frequently find myself gobsmacked about what the...I frequently find myself gobsmacked about what the 'elite' get away with here, aided and abetted by an undiscerning media.
