As for getting rid of books, I haven't done that with my collected hardcovers & TPBs, but I have done it with a lot of single issues. Over the years I used to sell off single issues I didn't want to mycomicshop.com (They're local for me), then I just started putting entire comic boxes of single issues next to the dumpster at my apartment complex. I got a kick out of watching little kids who were walking to the school bus stop rummage through the boxes and take what they want, then some fat black dude driving by suddenly stopped, got out of his car, looked into the boxes, then put them all in his trunk. This entire scenario occurred two separate times.
I sometimes give away comics, too, but, for the most part, what I end up buying I enjoy and keep. I've gotten more selective in my old age so I've become wiser with my purchases.
