I know a little about what you speak of regarding money wasted on piles of stuff that sits.

It is very frustrating.

It’s wasn’t her reason, it was the quality of the goods she bought and the astonishly poor financial decision-making she exercised. I never said she was not entitled to spend her money on whatever she wanted, no real big deal that one of her residences went into foreclosure twice and that had she had to pay real-world rent on the family home she had moved into she would have been evicted and kicked out by the sheriff; and that from those HSN purchases she accumulated over 700 qty $35 NSF fees from Bank of America. Nothing wrong with that at all. Except she didn’t voluntarily make those decisions, she was and is much like a heroin addict and other people had to clean up each and every one of the problems she created.

If your referring to the black one on the left, that could possibly be an Epiphone. Either way still desirable though.

If not her, who did ... and how can you be critical of her?

Bet there will be a trash trove of orange pantsuits and H-> illary campaign paraphenalia about June when the treason indictment is announced.

Seriously? You are arguing that it's perfectly fine that she spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on low quality crap, 3/4s of which went into a dumpster if it was not crammed in every nook and cranny of her house where she never even looked at it; while she failed to pay her mortgage. That she accumulated over $20,000 in overdraft fees from the bank charging this crap on her credit card; a $37K IRS tax lien, an $11K property tax lien. While accumulating the following, roughly 1/15th of her jewelry collection.

OK, you're right.

say, that looks like my bass guitar I lost a few years ago, the one on the far right in the wall of sound.

Interesting stuff.

You may be right. I blew up the pic and I think I can see the symbol on the truss rod cover just above the nut.

But hey...it would match my Epi SG bass. Red and black go together right?

I just picked up 3 wood baseball bats for $2.00 at a yard sale this weekend.

One of them is traded on eBay for $295.

Good times.

It’s all so neat, organized and clean. I suspect a woman was involved.

Another unique NYC horde worth noting:

Shopping channels are nothing but crooks that know they are preying on the elderly and very lonely people who may or may not have mental problems. They don’t care. They make people think they are their friends and really care about them so they will buy more. It is really sad how they lure people into a make believe situation where they think they need tons of jewelry, cooking equipment, etc. while all the buyer does is sit at home and spend money on this crap.

I’m not sure I understand your complaint about how she spent her own money. She supported numerous companies with that $400K she spent, and she probably thoroughly enjoyed buying these things. You sound like a liberal socialist complaining about how others spend their money.
