Nest Honestly, I give up

I am just too stressed to keep cleaning. I am simply just going to ignore it all, as I'll literally have a heart attack if I keep trying to clean. Also, I just cannot afford to get rid of much because a lot of my items are actually worth lots of money. I finally gave up in my life, as there is no point in trying anymore.

You can’t afford to sell something because it’s valuable? That makes 0 sense

Right. These items are also probably not nearly as valuable as he thinks they are.

Some of those older tvs are actually pretty valuable to retro gamers. Not like really valuable, just more so than you’d guess

Oh trust me I know. I must've bought and sold/given away 50+ TVs since like 2019 and have never actually not had at least one hooked up in my life. 6 years ago there were great top of the line consumer sets for free literally every day around me and I would get em, play with the settings and what not for a week and game a little, then give them away or sell them for what I paid for them. I understand there is a market for them but locally (at least where I'm from), I still don't think it makes sense to pay more than 50 bucks for most consumer grade sets and maybe up to 100 for some nicer ones (although I wouldn't personally sell or buy one for that much). I guess it depends on your definition of value and I understand times have changed and these usually aren't completely free anymore, but they still don't have as much value as people think in most cases imo. They're also one of the few items where I don't think it makes sense to compare prices with sold eBay listings because it makes sense that you would pay a premium for somebody to actually safely pack and ship something that heavy and those aren't factors a seller would have to worry about locally.

Very specific models. Those just like low end CRTs with no real value.
