  • 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.










  • I would doubt most bards could afford books until after the printing press (~1440). During the middle ages (500-1500) is after the fall of the western roman empire (470) where papyrus stopped coming in for about 600-700 years (1100s) before cheap paper from Spain. I think court musicians were a bit different in “class” someone traveling is unlikely to be bringing a lot of written stuff with them all the time unless they were a weirdo. Once cheap paper and moreso the printing press to allow cheap copying spread then so did literacy. So its hard to definitely say whether the average bard would be literate. I think at the start of the middle ages, no, but by the end of the middle ages, yes.

    There’s not really any way to suicide that won’t fuck up someone else. You never know what straw makes someone take that final step or influence their plan. Acting as if there are eggshells everywhere is also harmful as then nothing can be talked about. Are parents supposed to hide their kids from couples with a dead child or history of miscarriage? Should saving private Ryan have skipped the d-day scene?

    The comic simply notes a common thought “the call of the void” and the unfun realization of hearing said call. What someone takes away from a piece of art is theirs not the artists.
