I think the £150 that one set of movers quoted us for packing is a mistake, to be honest; friends of ours paid £200 for packing (same company) and they only had a 2-bedroom flat, with considerably fewer than 3200 books. :-} And packing stuff ourselves would be a huge incentive to rationalise and declutter as we go along. But it is awfully tempting to get it done properly/quickly/by someone else.
"Huge potential" is about right. My fear is that in 10 years' time it'll still have "huge potential" i.e. we won't have done anything to it... :-}
