<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3063182, member: 19463&quot;]For many years when I was younger, I benefited from knowing people who looked at past auction catalogs as scrap paper that piled up and cluttered their lives.&nbsp; I learned a lot from the catalogs they gave me.&nbsp; Later, I started getting catalogs of my own because I started bidding and winning a few coins in sales.&nbsp;&nbsp; I still took the cast offs that were offered me. Today, I will not be in any danger of getting this catalog since I do not bid in European auctions but I would pick up any catalogs for those sales that turn up at the coin club &#039;free&#039; table.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that there are those here who would pay postage (not International) for a flat rate box full of things that have piled up at some of our houses.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my case, the piles might include books, too.&nbsp; There are books in my attic that strike me as worth less than the postage to send them to someone across the state.&nbsp; I wish there were a way to distribute such things to the people currently at a level that they might appreciate them but the only winner I see here is the post office.&nbsp; Some of us have sold coins through John Anthony&#039;s auctions but sending books to him to resend to someone else would only make sense for books of the value I am not yet ready to get rid of.&nbsp; Is there an answer?&nbsp; I can&#039;t bring myself to put piles of old price lists and books in the recycle bin but that may be where they must go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
