Honestly some ween should walk up to Barb's door and offer her $1k in cash on the spot to buy Chris' binder.

At this point Barb might not take it, since she's unlikely to actually answer the door, she probably doesn't know which particular item in Chris' hoard the ween is talking about (it's all just junk to her), and she's not going to let some random person into her home to sort through Chris' crap looking for it.

I would offer her $4k or thereabouts on spec for the lot (with a signed receipt) and then piece the collection out online for a small profit. The bigger the lump sum dollar value, the more likely you are to overcome her reticence. Still, how would you sell it? It's still technically Chris' property, and even if your ownership was free and clear, it would still get flagged all to hell by weens and white knights on any online store you might care to use.

A smart realtor would know there's no way to keep 14BLC's past secret. He might even include a link to the CWCki page with a big huge disclaimer: "That's all in the past. Today it's just a normal starter family home." He'll also drop a few grand from his sales expectation.

$1000 discount if you don't shout JULAAAY in or around the house.

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.

But did she let them into the house? I doubt it.

Barb doesn't know what's in Chris' hoard. To her it's just a pile (or boxes, depending) of crap. If you offer her $1000 for the original, hand drawn Sonichu issue #00, she wouldn't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about. Nor would she be inclined to dig through Chris' crap looking for it. And she REALLY wouldn't let a ween into her home to dig through Chris' crap.

You would have to offer her a lot of money to take it all away all at once. Maximize her profit while minimizing her effort and perceived risk. And even then she might balk.

Of course you might be able to con it all out of her. Show up at her door with a convincing logo on a van pretending to be a charity: "Good afternoon, ma'am. I represent Toys for Tards. We collect old, unused toys and art supplies for underprivileged, inner city autistics. Would you have any old, unused toys or art supplies you could donate? For a generous tax deduction, of course."

Any news on the Wellness check?

Also I was checking various sites for estimated property values on 14 BC; it's for some reason tanked on some sites. Estimated at about 155k now.

Also there is listings the house was sold in 2019; https://www.longandfoster.com/homes-for-sale/14-Branchland-Court-Ruckersville-VA-22968-319968157

Any one have any idea what this is all about?

lmao here's how you know you live in a yokel-ass hick town where nothing ever happens is when your house - in the greatest housing price bull market in history - only will fetch just barely over a buck fifty.

There's absolute fucking pieces of GARBAGE on the market near me and they're still closing at 350-400 anyway

Yes but what is "a lot of money" to her? A huge wad of cash would probably set off her greed. I still think you underestimate the power that has, especially with older folks. You could probably hand her a couple hundred in $10s or $20s just for the privilege of getting in the door and I bet she would take it.

OK now I hard disagree. Appealing to Barb's sense of charity? Think about that. Even Chris is more generous than Barb since Barb at least understands how much work goes into getting money.

The fear of young strangers entering your home is greater, believe me. Waving a wad of bills in front of her on her porch would only ring alarm bells.

Besides, Barb's a hoarder to her core. If you wave a wad of cash in front of her, you may well set her greed off too much, and she'll come to think of Chris' crap as valuable. Consider her "valuable van Gogh print". She'd just annex it into her own hoard.

Charity? Don't be ridiculous. Laziness? Absolutely. The trick is getting Chris' crap without alerting Barb to it's potential sales value. A "donation to charity" gives her a chance to be rid of Chris' crap without lifting a finger herself, while at the same time avoiding giving her any ideas that Chris' crap might be valuable to the right buyer. Remember how she tossed Chris' crap into the dumpster, and he had to go diving to retrieve it? This is letting her do the same thing without paying dumpster fees or even getting out of her chair.

Or bide your time and pick a day when Tom and Harriet are visiting. They should have no problem unloading Chris' crap on a worthy "charity" and are even less aware of it's potential for weenbucks than Barb.
 
At one point I'd argue Barb wanting to keep Chris' stuff because it's valuable.

At this point I wouldn't because of the current situation and she might not actually be the one in charge of what is staying or going. If she truly is suffering dementia or the like; chances are some one else has been discreetly unloading the hoard and she just doesn't realize it.

Or even that she's lucid and "someone" is just throwing all the useless shit out whether she likes it or not, and she's too weak/lazy/old/etc to be arsed to press charges or cause a ruckus.

Likely this as well, especially given she just suffered a near fatal accident. I'm still surprised she's at the house given that occured.

Just inside the front door of 14BC is this incredibly long staircase that leads into the depths of your own personally tailored hell, a prison for your mind. As you wander the halls, dripping with navy, you hear the faint sound of "I love you Ivyy....." around the corner.

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.
 
I vote we move to turn 14 Branchland Court into the Museum of Natural Christory. See exhibits made from toys and other hoarded junk and take guided tours that recreate the house tour videos Chris made. Put in a small entrance fee and a gift shop and it'll make money hand over fist.
