&gt; I&#x27;d struggle to get to 3,000.<p>I have that many books plus 500 CDs and 200 vinyl albums.  My wife has a couple of hundred handbags and a similar number of coats and jackets.<p>But books are by far the largest class of thing in my house.  I can&#x27;t imagine having 300k items, even 30k seems rather unlikely in a house where you can see the floor!<p>Edit:  I&#x27;m not in the US either so my house is probably smaller than the average US on though possibly larger than the other Brits commenting here; I&#x27;m in Norway.
