part 367 bears and wolves oh my

[aphanon_meme]

YOU DID IT, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. Well, it's been a year. I hope it was a good one for you--and that 2018 is even better! And maybe we'll finally get that fansub of even one of the musicals... just maybe.

Enjoy part 367!

i don't see a problem.

i generally roll my eyes at people who go all sour grapes at the idea of somebody else -gasp- making money via yard sales, thrift shops, or whatever.

anybody with the ambition can get the app or whatever and do this themselves; it's not as though someone's "cheating" at sales by having more forethought.

likewise, any library, thrift store, or person holding a yard sale could look up values themselves if they want to get the most profit. if they don't care to do so, or if it suits them better to get rid of stuff fast and cheap, then that is the choice they need to live with. nobody is taking advantage of them or tricking them into pricing something lower.

to me, the main benefit of these sales is to keep books or other used items in circulation and being appreciated - and not letting them go to waste or get destroyed or contribute to our already overflowing landfills.

i don't have a book scanner or whatever, but you can bet i use my phone to double check prices at every sale i go to. i do not resell things, but i have gotten some great deals, especially on art books.

For me it's not about "oh man he bought this for 10 cents but sold it for 20 bucks, what an ass" but about the often obnoxious behavior of people who resell books at library book sales. I used to look forward to my library book sales so much it was almost like a holiday, now it's mostly me feeling anxious about hoping that someone who resells doesn't clear out the shelves I browse at before I can get inside (thanks to the lines that the resellers caused).
