I may. Lord knows how many of the books in my collection all came from here over the years!!!

Totally understand that. I expect that if I were to parse things out, I'd likely realize much higher gains on the big books - lower grade or not, there's a desire to get a ticket to the ballpark and even the cheap seats are always competitive and never truly cheap. The only challenge is then - as you point out - you have to set up an alternative for the other things. On their own, I know they won't do much and will linger around. I think when the time comes, I'll probably want to move as much at once as I'm able while realizing a good return on the bigger ticket items.
-
Totally hear you, but the value CLZ lists doesn't include them. So, for all intents and purposes (whenever I do sell off), I'd basically be look for close to full market value for the major keys and then the rest thrown in for pennies on the dollar. After all, shops may have a lot of those books but it's not without a reason -- they sell all the time.

Yeah, I hear you. On the other hand, by the time I begin to look at eventually selling off, the purchase price differential will be about 20 years. I won't be disclosing that info per se, but I don't know if that argument would hold :P
