I appreciate it : ) Might even take you up on it. A lot of it is just acquiring a surprising amount of stuff in 2 years. Of course, some of it is inheriting 10 years of odds and ends from former residents. It's an apartment that's been passed from teacher to teacher, and now is being let go.
Generally when you post stuff as being for sale via classifieds, the taker is required to provide the transportation. I can fully understand the heartache of giving up any books.
You can also ship things to us, assuming you'll come collect them. Regarding books, make a list and see which are available via something like kindle. Those are the books to toss/sell first.
yeah, that's with planning to ship, which isn't cheap, already. There's a full book case between the previous teachers and me bookmooching. A lot of them arent' even books I'm particularly fond of, it's as much the principle as anything. I am shipping one small box, mostly of things I had to actually buy off amazon. I'll probably try to re-mooch some of the others later.
Several weeks later, I'd also like to offer to help. I'm not sure how different it is from there, but in my limited experience of international shipping, heavy stuff that isn't huge (like books, for example) can be shipped flat-rate. And shipping by boat, if available, is usually cheap, though it's less reliable than other means and generally takes longer (sometimes a lot longer).
