Trash to treasure, ping!
The collection is YUGE!
Very cool!!
I’m sure he has something I’d like . Just curious, the trash department allows picking through junk? The family photos. My wife and I attended auctions for years. Always sad to see someone’s family photos going to the trash.
That would be one of my versions of heaven
Watch out, De Slobio will confiscate it.
Very artfully arranged. People would pay money to see much less.
Whenever I see vast collections of debris such as this...it makes me not want to own stuff. I guess it helps that I have just completed a task where as part of a lawsuit (I am not a party but I supervise the “workout” effort) I have spent over 300 hours over the past several months clearing out two residences owned by a hoarder lady.
Per our estimates, she spent over $400K at the Home Shopping Network buying Lady Diana dolls (over 40 of them complete with spare tiaras, and little bitty pairs of high heels) and the entire Joan Rivers jewelry collection and several other of their jewelry collections, kilotons of fine china which had to be carefully packed, and giant amounts of pure debris. Most of it went into a dumpster. Actually 5 dumpsters and 2 qty 10 x 20 storage spaces upon which she now pays $600/mo storage.
I had more than modest anger at the situation because for $400K I could have started about 5 businesses and lived reasonably well while they came on line.
I know of people who make a living from picking the trash for antiques, furniture, collectibles, jewelry, scrap metal, and the like. It can be a lot of work, but there is always the chance for big payouts for lucky finds. And that happens more than you might think.
My Strange Inheritance?
Wow, one man’s trash really another man’s treasure.
That is very cool and interesting. BUT it looks like the taxpayers are paying for the huge space occupied by this stuff? Who gets to decide how to spend the money?
Cool
I’d like to get my hands on that Gibson SG 6 string.
Neato! Would like to do a tour.
Time ta hava a yaaaad sale oveah deah!
Bet there will be a trash trove of orange pantsuits and H-> illary campaign paraphenalia about June when the treason indictment is announced.
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.
It’s all so neat, organized and clean. I suspect a woman was involved.
Another unique NYC horde worth noting:
