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 was thinking about the buisness model needed for this. It would be very difficult, in that video there is very little stuff that is worth its own weight the "new" computers were antiquated as well as the electronics. The only way that buisness works is if you have people that work for you that know the prices of certain items. Alot of furniture is heavy and not easily stored so it doesnt make a lot of sense to keep that.
I love when the one guy made a bs comment about the lamp for the camera. That thing was the biggest piece of Walmart junk in the world, who would want that, even for free. The gas, vehicle wear and tare and labour likely couldnt be covered for that buiness most days. Its terrible all that goes to landfill but it is what it is. To make it work you would need to find enough diamonds in the ruff.
