The fine folks over at Heritage Auctions could testify of it - for they have seen it all already - and I, Luminous Luciano himself, have repeated it ad nauseam over those long many years: what you view as trash now could be treasure to a great many others - if not immediately, eventually!
From the famous cases of old trading cards found in a barn, to a stash of old ''comic-bookies'' worth in excess of three million dollars; from the movie posters so scarce that a single one is worth over 150,000$ (since there were only four copies remaining in existence anywhere) to mere specimen of bank notes from the dusty-old and time-honored bank of Scotland... And we won't even bother to delve into whatever possessed so many to simply throw away TONS of vinyl records - now beyond value collectors' items! (Vinyl is making a comeback on top of that, anyway!)
Of course these are all values attributed to those things by the human creature: in raw fact, those old things remain old paper upon which were printed some form of data, relevant at that time... In the case of vinyl and other estimated to be ''archaic technology'' nowadays, however, it takes that concept to another level: but if one needs special types of equipment simply to decipher their engravings, it can only add to their value overall. VCRs, record players and tape decks still exist, after all!
Let it be a reminder to you all to better assess what you are discarding: may it be in the proper recycling bin, most suitable for it, at least! For you may be trashing jewels in a rash moment of negligence - and that is too bad for all, involved or not involved yet!
So, remember folks - if you have any ''trash'' laying around your place...
Think twice! Some examples? Here:
... and all you'll have to do is hope that the collectors...
potential buyers... ninny purchasers...
will give to you as generously as you hope they will!
NOW we've got the handle of this - NOW we're gonna be making some serious dough!
All those other stock market wannabees can FORGET ABOUT IT - *we* are the next *hot* one!
Thanks to Matthew Barry and his Binary System (pardon: Binary System Pro!) that taught us -at last- which way the up arrow and the down arrow go - we can play in the big leagues, with the Big Men!
Yes we can!
An even better training video than THAT is THIS one right here:
$how me the money...!!! $$$ Ye$$$ $ir! $$$$$$$$
Money does not bring happiness, though - raising a fortune won't equate bliss, EVER!
No, folks, cash does not bring joie de vivre... But it does make everything more comfortable!
However, you must know this:
Money isn't real; it's man's invention!
Pain is real - pain and other 4-letter words...

Luciano is out to dispel any clichés and reinvent them all both to the tune of a little something called the truth as also to his own image - and being old-fashioned, he does not mind that distinction one infinitesimal tiny bit at all...!
