Money Financhu Crisis / Chris sells his stuff megathread

[Mason Verger]

I think he does, people in general fear big changes, nevermind autists like Chris, who lived in the same house for the majority of his life.

Put it this way: Chris tard raged about Sanic's arm color, you think losing 14 BLC won't make him tard rage? That's what A-Logging idiots like Hirtes are clearly betting on, only Hirtes is the only person who's honest about his wish.

True, but, c'mon, you set Chris up in a nice little studio apartment with plenty of display surfaces above a weeb store overlooking the campus of a all-girls gymnastics school..

I don't know, the thought of Chris rattling around an empty 14 BLC out in the middle of Nowheresville, Virginia is pretty depressing in of itself.

I do consistently wonder though, when Barb dies will Chris actually sell the hoard or will he become too attached to the only major thing that she left him with? Assuming he actually works up the effort to sort through all that junk.

He loved Bob but had no difficulty selling off his records and other shit.

Sorry if this has been answered and I didn’t see it, but Barb wanted money to pay a trash bill?
Is Barb meaning a company like 1-800 got junk?
Some cities include free trash pickup because it’s included with your taxes, otherwise most people pay a company like BFI to pick the trash up.
If Barb used a junk removal company, they must have gotten rid of quite a bit of stuff.

What's her sudden motivation too? After all these years and it potentially aiding in the death of her husband and directly causing a house fire.

To quote the great Sean Connery:
"Maybe she just needed a little slapping around.."

Honestly, does Chris even give a shit about Branchland Court? We're under the assumption that Chris needs to keep the place after Barb dies, but he might not even want it. I think he still laments moving there.

It's kind of like a fetus developing in space, we don't know what will happen, but it probably won't be good for the fetus.
Problems With Chris Moving Out

1. He's terrible with possessions, and he's a bad housekeeper. No matter how you like to frame it, the trauma of losing his last living relative, who acknowledges him, could lead to hoarding tendencies. Like how he purchased that Commodore 64 to relive the old days and talk to people that don't exist.

2. Despite what others may say, Chris hasn't moved out yet. So, it's just a fantasy at this point. Chris is used to the reality of coming home almost every day to a mother who exploits him while pretending to care about him. I can picture Chris getting really lonely really easily, and a roommate would probably be overwhelmed by Chris' neediness. He may even put up a protest if forced to move in with another slow in the mind male. Can you imagine a guy having to live with Chris cluttering the shared space and being too needy with affection? In any event, it would be bad for anyone to live with Chris just because of the possible weenery or someone exploiting Chris. Also, yes, I seriously doubt his "friends" want to live with him.

If she dies before him, he will set the place on fire with her body inside like "What's Eating Gilbert Grape".

I think Barb lives another ~20 years though.

I think Chris's hoarding is far more focused than Barb's, like he is interested in a bunch of narrow subjects (Lego/Vidya/Toys) rather than just buying everything in his sights like Barb does. All these things are relatively compact and stackable into shelves and stuff.

He's not gonna suddenly buy a microwave or a mini-fridge merely because it's on a deal today, this will be in his (relative) benefit, plus, Chris has zero problems letting go of stuff to get more stuff, so what will probably happen is him stashing stuff and having a little toy inventory turnover, wheeling and dealing them.

Wait a minute, he is making "Replicas?"

Wouldn't that, you know, destroy the whole point of his "Certificate of Authenticity" thing?

I don’t think the CoA’s are necessarily intended to prove what he’s selling are originals, as much as they are to serve as proof of their provenance (i.e. that they came from Chris himself).

In a mere 0:47, this bitch managed to blame other people for the hoard existing, blame the people who hauled off the trash (assuming they exist) for charging money for it, and swindle more money for more hoard. Not bad for less than a minute from a supposedly senile, infirm old lady.

Well, we know Chris had to learn his mental gymnastics/blame shifting from *someone* and now we can see he learned it from the best.

It probably knows what it sounded like when Bob came.

if you stay silent enough, you can hear bob's moaning inside the fiber..

 

[Cedric_Eff]

Aside from broken items and such, is Chris's finances stabilizing?

Reminder that the autist who brought up fleas is Michael Hirtes, who is actually living in a flea-infested Section 8 hovel.

To be fair, they did have bed bugs, which are extremely hard to get rid of in the best conditions, and buying a blanket from someone who had bed bugs and lives in a hoard is probably not the best way to avoid getting bed bugs yourself

 

[PuckishRogue]

Didn't they have bedbugs before the fire though? There's a pretty decent chance they were dealt with after that.

Though I suppose there's also a fairly decent chance the rebuilding of the hoard also caused a re-infestation.

Bedbugs are notoriously hard to kill. If you aren't going to have them professionally exterminated, you supposedly need to put your clothes, sheets, etc. in a clothes dryer on high for a long period of time to take them out.

If papers and blankets and clothes survived the fire without burn damage, there's a pretty good chance the bedbugs did, too. When you add to that the general filth Chris and Babs live in and then when you add to *that* the fact that the animals are pretty damn near feral ... Yeesh. I'm almost certain that blanket has something in it that you don't want in your house...

 

[PuckishRogue]

Likely true. Hopefully whoever bought it gets it treated before bringing it into the home.

If they're stupid enough to buy it instead of a new one, I doubt they're smart enough to sterilize it.

Chris has been wanting to leave 14BC and experience life for awhile now. It's why he was hounding Cole to take over taking care of Barb, so Chris could leave. That desire to leave has gone up and down in the past, but in general, I don't think Chris has a particularly strong autistic attachment to 14BC.

Where would Chris like to go? Does he have any place or any type of place in mind? For a long time he was pining for Richmond because high school, but he seems to have put this behind him for now. Apart from that I can't think of any evidence of wanderlust on his part.

Obviously I don't see him picking up stakes and moving cross country.

But he goes to conventions, every so often he drives across the state for stupid shit (like 2 hour drives), he visits friends in Charlottesville and in other parts of the state.

And then he was begging/demanding Cole to take over taking care of Barb.

I think Chris wants a locker to keep his shit in while he's out sperging around.

It's not his only desire, but it's one we've been seeing for awhile.

To be fair, that blanket is packed full of so much different DNA, the new owner could probably extract it and start their own 14 Branchland Park.
