True, Ken, that most can't afford new furniture right now with the U.S. economy in the crapper... but I'd take the best stuff and throw it in a storage locker.
I wouldn't be surprised that a few of the guys working for the 'trash out' company are making side money doing exactly that. Remember, they were encouraged to take away whatever they wanted out of the houses. I can see a guy, for example, selling some of the home electronics or furniture that is left behind in these places.
