This is probably a long shot and likely just a coincidence but I was searching for video games on ebay and happened to find a seller from Ruckersville. I decided to check what other stuff he sells and he also had a bunch of my little pony and lego stuff on sale too. In his seller bio it says that he is a picker and goes around yard sales to find stuff. This isn't enough proof to say for sure that Chris's stuff got sold off but it's fun to think about.

I'm gonna go with coincidence, no way to confirm this is Chris' crap vs. what you can find at a regular estate sale. Anything that could be confimed to be Chris', like his custom painted figures, would probably be thrown out as unsellable.

Though that seller also did have this listed.....................

Having given it some thought I no longer think they sold Chris' stuff. More likely they just left the house as-is and left. I can't imagine Tom or Harriet or whoever going to all the trouble of throwing things away if they weren't planning to sell the house and we can clearly see that nobody's touched it in a long time. Plus as far as it goes all that is still technically Chris' property so maybe they're waiting until his case gets closed.

At that point it's Chris being allowed a garbage bag or whatever amount he's allowed wherever he goes. Tard home, ghetto apartment or streets..... Or failing that, Chris sell whatever he can't take, not sure if the tard home would take the money that's not his tugboat though?

Weens should have been checking the local thrift stores. Why would cheap-ass Barb (and presumably Tom and Harriet) pay to dump something when it can be disposed of at goodwill for free?

It's probably too late now.

Because they likely figured it was worthless kiddy shit and not worth their time trying to sell. No to mention. The painful memories and emotions Barb would have tied to them in her lucid moments, and the anger and disgust Harriet and Tom would feel upon seeing several rooms filled to spilling over with Chris childish shit while their sister is relegated to a small area to spend her days in. It would be cathartic for everyone involved to chuck Chris' kiddy toys, video games, and retard scribbles in the dumpster as a kind of revenge. He put his own selfish materialism and sexual needs ahead of the wellbeing of his own mother.

I'm talking about donating it all, not selling it.

Landfills aren't free. Hauling it to the dump costs money. Making it all GoodWill's problem is free.

Then again,. we don't really know how redneck Tom and Harriet actually are. For all we know, Chris' shit could be spilling out of plastic bags on the side of some remote road somewhere west of Ruckersville.
 
I don't know if it's been said, but if Chris does end up with the house, it will be interesting to see how it's going to be paid for. I wonder if we'd get a co-opt living cult situation where Chris promises to rent rooms out to random weens or "true believers in Sonichu."

Im sure barb or her sisters would throw out his childish shit cant wait to see his reaction but im pretty sure when he gets released barb would be dead or she would tell Chris to live somewhere else.

It is a fun thought but highly unlikely. As another user mentioned, it is too clean, but the fact is that that is pretty generic crap. I could go to a flea market and get that stuff easily

They could have just rented one of those big dumpsters and had the company haul it away for them. It's a pretty cost effective way to get rid of a lot of shit in one go, and you only have to haul stuff out to the dumpster in the driveway. A truck comes to collect it and take everything to the dump. They do that a lot in hoarder cases.

Hauling all that shit to Goodwill in several trips would be more work though. Harriet and Tom are old and likely don't have many people they could call on for help shucking all Barb's crap to the donation store. It would be easier just to rent a dumpster to put in the driveway.

Those things are amazingly cost effective especially when your dumping whole items because the drivers and the recycling places WILL pick through those loads because you never know what you will find or they know somebody who's intrested in specific items - I've got my name on a list for one of those places for old or odd tools, they call I go in buy or not buy and if they have buckets of tools I'll sort the pricing on them for anything special, good for me good for them.

The walk in skips are amazing for shipping large semi compleated components a short distance in like Railings, Gates, Large Doors, etc you call them tell them you want a skip dropped here filled and moved to there you'll empty and take it away they will do it for cheap as your paying for and doing everything, often they will say just talk to the driver about the price and they will often knock off some readys for a cup of tea, butty and few bottles of decent beer.

If Chris's stuff has been binned it was likely done in a day they just chucked anything and everything just bag / box and bin and it got taken away and some new guy is sent to dig through it to see if there is anything interesting in their, especially the games and stuff and he or she is young an expected to know these things.

I can't see Barb or her sister and brother in law wanting strangers tramping through the house as well as randomly knocking at the door at a really strange and disturbing time.

I highly doubt those are related. Those are the toddler-gauge legos and I believe that those are pre-brony MLPs when Chris would still have been affirming his masculinity with Transformers

Chris has had lego since he was a child, even had knock off lego that was just about compatable with the real stuff for when he mixed and matched sets, that sort of stuff is heresy of the higest order to Lego nuts who look for parts of old discontinued kits as it's not viewed as authentic and they don't want to invest the time OR effort into sorting the legit from the not legit.

The more modern lego he's using is the kids Duplo line (or whatever it's called now) because the set's have more variation to them and are larger to reduce small parts and kids risk, they tend to have tie ins to things like MLP, Harry Potter, etc so he buys them because it lets him imitate something more closely.

Chris has lots of classic lego, mixed in with knock off lego and newer toys for younger kids, the MLP thing has been around before Megan possibly even as far back as being a kid but he only got to play with the toys as a "Adult" and had money to buy his own toys.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that some neighborhoods will organize an annual haul and dump day where everyone can haul out shit they no longer want to the curb in front of their house or one of the big dumpsters I was talking about and collectors the neighborhood has hired will come by and haul it all away to the dump. My neighborhood actually does two a year: one for general trash and the other for just Christmas trees. However, in Barb's case I think either GoodWill or a rented dumpster are most likely.

In the UK we don't really have that we tend to have Wheely Bin's and then the local council has a Bulk or Recycle service that's free you just call them an say "I've got XYZ can you collect it please" if it's things like Whitegoods or Furniture they send around a dedicated recycling team and they send it to a place that repairs them or parts them out and that's then given to low income families or sold for cost it's part employment and skills training in my area anyway.

After that we just have skips and you have to pay for them, normally you order one fill it and call them to collect it but you normally ask your neighbours (if you like them or know them) if they have any big stuff they want to throw away.

At least in my area, we have what you'd call "wheely bins" or what we call trash/garbage cans or dumpsters that you take your trash from the house out to the larger can, then once a week you take out to the curb and it gets picked up by a garbage truck with a mechanical lifter arm. Most houses in my neighborhood have at least two cans for garbage and one for recycling, though you can pay the city to have more of either if needs be. What I described in my previous post was more for larger items like old furniture and things like that. You can haul that stuff to the local landfill any time you want, but you have to pay a fee to do it. These trash days that we have once or twice a year in my neighborhood is to save people the trip, labor, fuel, and money to have those large items hauled away because not everyone owns a pickup truck or trailer to haul things like that away easily, or might not have the strength and energy to do so due to old age or physical disabilities. It's just something our neighborhood does to make things easier for everyone to keep their homes nice since I live in a fairly nice area with a higher class of people who have a strong sense of community and who take pride in their property.
