She answered the door for weens who came by, so it's possible. She might not react to just the verbal offer, but if you physically waved real Benjamins in front of her, that would probably win her over. When trying to convince someone to accept an offer, seeing physical money is a huge motivator as it appeals to more basic instincts.

Depending on the person, you might try having just a few $100 bills and then have the rest be a bunch of $20 bills to make the wad of money physically larger.

Considering we're talking about the scribbles of a mentally retarded individual she should be lucky if they wave Washingtons in front of her face. Even that would be more than what they are worth.

I pity the poor soul who's gonna move into that house and not realize the sheer history that went on in there, yet still get prank called and find it difficult to order anything. I can imagine some poor man and his wife moving into the house, blissfully oblivious to what actually went on inside.

"Honey, I got another call from those people again."
"Which people, dear?"
"The people asking for that Chris person"
"That's the fifteenth call this week."

Who knows, it might become a stigmatized property.

*sometime in the future when the house is sold*

"Who is this 'Julie' lady and why do her ex-boyfriends keep calling here?"

Word. Shame to see her faculties deteriorate, though. They don't go down easy or fast.

Perhaps the new owner would react so badly to this that they gradually become a lolcow to rival Chris.

It would be a curse of the house.

If I ended up the owner I'd charge money to come in and look around.

My dream would be to buy a used carnival dark ride and move the tracks into 14BC, so guests can ride around the haunted 14BC with scary Chris animatronics popping out, squirting liquid on riders.

What about drinks and snacks? You're describing the American dream there.

Don't even need to go that far - one family literally built a dark ride like that from scratch.

Who still has a land line phone these days?

On the contrary, I can see the new owners being all, "What the actual fuck?" when all the neighbors drop by with welcoming gifts of homemade banana bread and cookies to thank them for taking over the property.

Maybe the neighbors will all join together and do a little song and dance like the munchkins in The Wizard of Oz: "Dong dong, Chandler's gone!"

they're literally free when you ask for a TV and internet combo deal. kinda silly not to go to the dollar store and just plug a POS phone into it. we call ours 'the cellphone finding dial-upper'. - yes, we're old.

besides that, it's an independent 100mA, ~24-48v, DC source. you can spend a day at a real electronics store and convert that shit into a USB standard output. unless you have an iPhone. an iPhone will fire up Siri and ask you, "how the hell did we get to North Korea?"

Unless the local hardware is VERY antiquated, it wouldn't still have the Chandler's old number. That phone number will go back into the available pool when the Chandler's phone service is cut off, so some other poor bastard in Greene County not at 14BLC will start getting calls from weens on their brand new phone.

I have a bluetooth receiver connected to the house wiring to run extensions everywhere so I don't have to carry my phone around inside. It's much more useful than a land line that nobody uses or even knows the number for.

Off-Topic: Radio Shack used to sell them back when there were still Radio Shacks. Amazon carries them these days. Search for "bluetooth gateway" or "cell2jack" or "XLink".

There are still Radio Shacks. After corporate died, some franchisees held on. (The same reason why there's still one remaining Blockbuster).
 
I'm betting if the house was cleared out, the relative who is taking care of Barb went in and pointed at stuff to send to storage and stuff to trash. They put the save stuff in one of those big piggyback train car bins and hauled the rest to the dump. They are getting ready to liquidate the house and they can't sell it full of crap. Barb surely has expenses for her care that the tugboat won't cover. She can't afford to pay the mortgage any more. There's going to be a short sale. Once the house is liquidated, if Barb's expenses continue, they will decide that the rent on storage isn't worth it and dump the rest.

Chris is going to come home to bupkis.

Would the bank even still want the house regardless of how much of a mess it is?

It's not so much the house as it is the land. From what my understanding is, the land is worth more than the house: it would be up to the bank to spend cleaning and repairing everything that 14 BLC has gone through. Ironically, it went through a fire, got fixed, and ended up getting hoarded again with bonus holes in the wall. It would be better for them to demolish the property, sell the land, and have the new owners build a house at their expense.

I mean they can try to fix it like new, but depending on the market, I don't know if they can sell it for the price they are asking for.

All the shit that the house went through. I'd say get rid of the house and turn it into land.
