I have really shattered my budget(s) lately. Still haven't used a CC but damn I'm pushing my limits. Think I need to stay of the interwebs for awhile as my self control seems to have vanished. Plus I need to remember I have a few books yet to pay for with Camelot.

Did anyone take advantage of today's offer? I snagged a copy when I returned from my trip today and put everything away. ~Cap

I did not receive an offer today.

I got all my bookshelves from my last job. I had just started there in 2002, when they announced that we would be moving to a new building that came with office furniture, so they were going to auction off most of the furniture in the current building. I bid on a desk (still using it 18+ years later) and as many bookshelves as I could, not thinking I'd get most of them.

Apparently, very few people wanted bookshelves I ended up getting 28 of them at $5 each. When the day came to pick up your purchases, it was mostly people grabbing a nice chair and sticking it in their car. As the new guy, I got some funny looks when I drove up in a U-Haul truck and started loading up. I got the 28 bookshelves, two desks, and two chairs. One desk was just something I wanted as a workbench, and it's still in the basement.

The bookshelves are scattered around the house (as many as my wife let me get away with), and the rest are lining the walls of the attic, mostly filled with older paperbacks. Once COVID is done, I have to sort through them and get rid of a lot. No way I'm moving these again.

What's up with the glasses on top of the bookcase? Cap

Ok, I can't let this bookcase thing go LOL. A couple of partial shots. One is a four tier, the darker bookcase is a 5 with a drawer at the bottom. Yes, they need to be dusted HAHHA!!

I like those barrister bookcases. At least most of the dust stays on the outside, unlike my shelves

Great to see everyone’s bookcases, thanks for sharing.

Looking good. We have a little knick knacky thing in our house that says "You can touch the dust, but please don't write in it".

Dave1442397 28 at $5 each?? Wow, I thought *my* house was stuffed with 19 of them! Not only do you win the Most Understanding Wife Award, but the Deal of the Century Award as well.

Lol, thanks

Here is my quarterly whine about bookshelves..The nearest IKEA is 330 miles away. There doesn't seem to be any decent quality/priced glass door bookshelves anywhere else. Waaa. I'm done. Thanks!

Sounds like it's time for a road trip LOl!!!

That’s a wonderful story and one helluva deal...wow! Betty sounds like a great lady, preferring her husband’s bookcases go to a good home rather than to the highest bidder. You were certainly in the right place at the right time that day.
