  • A lot of the stuff you’re mentioning is basically worthless. Given that he has time he can get prices probably around ebay or goodwill value.

    Working CRTs can sometimes go for a bit because of retro gamers.

    The more common companies for reselling is for the company to charge you for removal because they will take unresellable junk as well. They are usually the option when selling/donation is not and disposal is more of a pain otherwise. I had to get rid of damaged couches and other furniture recently and to get a dumpster would have been like 500 and then id have to get it in there myself whereas the company charged 600 and they removed it without my help.

    Mattresses are usually not resellable and it might even be illegal to do so because of regulations to limit bedbugs.

    Music players probably obsolete 0-50. Cutlery set under whatever Costco charges for a set so like 10 unless they are actually silver or something. China and coffee maybe 10-20 per set. China may not sell as younger gen doesnt really use. Lamps 10-20. Books magazines and clothing selling by box/bag you can probably do 10-20 per.

    Decent furniture can go for a bit even if the buyer has to transport but 10-20% of original value seems about right.






  • With existing infrastructure in much of the US it is currently better to do protected bike lanes and still keep car lanes at least on larger streets. The accident area has parking on both sides, bike lanes on both sides, then two lanes of auto traffic.

    Remove the parking make it a protected bike lane and add some sidewalk and bushes.

    Having recently driven in Boston, there is seriously lacking safety awareness or enforcement. Narrow winding streets with 20-25mph speed limits have cars careening around at 40+mph. Cars crossing double yellow lines frequently even near hospital areas. I have yet to see anyone pulled over other than on the highway. Ofc the cops drive crazy too…Just getting some speed cameras would probably result in a major improvement. And that is something that was just recently funded/passed very recently. Once they are set up things will at least improve.
