I use to worry about what to do; today I will keep and sell.
Yep, it's a SAD, SAD story. Yet somehow they have a facebook page. Maybe they are still broke and using the public library, but SAD, TOO BAD.
Hell, I SELL PICTURES from lockers I buy back to the previous owner. Some would say they have no value, but I figure it this way.
1) If nothing else, the frames have value.
2) The pictures DO have value...to the former owner.
I've only had one former owner squawk about it or challenge me about it.
One guy came to look at his pictures, etc and I told him $25 and he said they weren't worth that. That's funny, those irreplaceable memories you mentioned on the phone are now not worth $25?
BUT, he said "There's a little saw in an aluminum box I would be interested in." I had already sold it, but I asked him how much he would pay. He said he'd give $25 for that. That saw was what he was really there for. His locker had several totes of NEW orthotic devices (for sprained limbs) and that was his business.
The "saw" was the kind used for cutting through plaster/fiberglass casts. They sell new for $800 to a $1,000. I sold "his" on eBay for $400. After he made his $25 offer I told him I had sold it for $400 and he just turned on his heels and walked out the pedestrian gate at my storage facility.
