... are changing with time.
I've got rid of these fat books (13 volumes, Lithuanian Soviet Encyclopedia) yesterday, for one crazy low price, €8.00 Euros.
Maybe 30 kilograms of printed paper, for €8. Maybe €0.27, that's 27 cents per kilo.
Why I sold this? Because I need more space in my closet. And because I want less things to remind me the period of my life under soviet regime. I just don't want to see anything, anymore, which reminds me soviets, or socialism.
Why so cheap? Because there are maybe another 10-15 sales adds online today, with the same thing, same Encyclopedia. Others are asking €9-€12, even €13.
I wanted to get rid that damn thing quick, so guess what - the same demand-n-supply economics, (like Bitcoin) took effect. I got to make it cheaper than anything else.
And it worked!
Only first 3 volumes had a slight signs of use, however very little though. Volumes 5 to 13 were practically never used, not even opened once.
I just have not good imagination to understand, why somebody wants to have them, even at €0.61 per volume.
In the days when we can not consume even 0.0000000001 % of information available online?
What is so crazy about this? The purchase price 35 years ago !
Each volume cost me then about 22-25 rubles (soviet rubles), which was my ONE WEEK salary back in those days. 13 volumes, that's my complete salary for 3 (three) full month.
Sure this is meaningless to anyone. But not to me, who has paid that money.
