Boyfriend is unappreciative

My boyfriend started a You Tube channel up to talk about his hobby. One day I went to a book shop and bought some toy catalogues. He had bought 1 before and mentioned he wanted some more to take photos of and make a video of. I spent ages going through them to get the right ones and spent £12.

When I gave them to him he was so happy and said he would be using them for his videos. The other day he went to the auction to sell some stuff. He said he took those books by accident and some bloke he knows at the auction was hounding him to sell them as he wanted them. He ended up selling them for £15. I said did you use them and he said he took photos of a few of the books as he had not had chance to finish taking photos. I was so annoyed I wasted my time and money. Plus those books could have sold for at least £10-£15 each as they were that price elsewhere and sold for that, he was ripped off.

Why was he so ruthless? I won't ever buy him anything again. No respect for my time, effort or money. I feel he did not appreciated what I did for him.

I'm a bit confused. Are the toys in the catalogues his hobby?
Did he make a video about the toy catalogues?

You did a nice thing for your boyfriend!

Yeah, they are his favourite toys and he likes to video the booklets. But he got rid of them and did not use them!

Have you expressed your feelings? I guess gift giving isn’t his love language!

Okay, I understand.
Like I wrote, I think you did a nice thing for him!
And I can understand that you are disappointed that he sold the catalogues.
Maybe he just go so excited that somebody was hounding him for something that he had, that he agreed to sell them? (I obviously don't know anything about how that particular business works.)
