    I found a fiberglass shell chair last night that I am pretty sure is an original Eames chair. It seems to be in very good shape except for the fact that it is just filthy. I've been trying to authenticate it online and the price ranges are all over the place. Maybe watching all those design and public television shows is finally going to pay off!



    Here it is just a crappy old chair but in other parts of the country it's what they call "mid-century modern" furniture.

    i live in a gated community and we have bulk pickup every week. usually can get 2 loads weekly just curb shopping. i seriously want to make friends with someone from another gated community just so i can come over on trash night. lol
    last week i got stainless steel dishwasher, 2 grills, washer, steel patio furniture, 4 aluminum chairs, 2 ceiling fans, 3 TV's, printer, steel shelf and file cabinet, 10lbs christmas lights and some other stuff.

    In Perth Western Australia, we are only just now losing the analogue TV signal and going all digital. Those people upgrading to smart TVs etc. are throwing out all their old ones, so kerb pick ups are getting very heavy with TVs! It is very boring breaking them all down though, even if the copper and aluminium is good. Not sure how long the bonanza will last however. The local recycler will take the CRTs for disposal for free which is good.
