I guess I was more concerned about the re-investment. I lost about 1/2 of my large book selection 2 years ago when we had mold issues in all our stuff in storage. The storage company came pretty good for everything but the money was spent on buying replacement big ticket items like furniture, mattresses, etc that were not sealed in containers. A lot of the small stuff like books just were not a priority.
A good portion of my books were just in unsealed cardboard boxes. Some of the unsealed boxes were salvageable but we were very paranoid about what we could safely and confidently clean as we didn't want to introduce mold into our brand new house.
We spent a very depressing weekend with a bunch of family helping to clean all we could with bleach and throwing out the rest. Lesson Learned to pass on to you all. SEAL EVERYTHING EVEN IF YOU PAY FOR SEALED STORAGE!
Anyways, on the positive side, almost all of them are listed as available at the public library.
