Dirty Junk

When it's not an official yardsale day we have to get resourceful. Betty (Mom) is in town and she was our Director of Research for the day. A quick Google search connected us with Gordon Rubenstein of Rubenstein's Dirty Junk. I'm going to ad a link to an old interview of him, back when he was 78. Now he is 83. Watch the video. It's the best way to understand Rubenstein and his junk operation.

Mr. Rubenstein a delightful character. He can't hear well so you have to yell. And don't worry about telling him your name because he just says, "Hey, Lady!" when he wants to show you something. He has some very valuable stuff and prices it that way. His specialty is brass. If you need a claw foot tub or an antique fire extinguisher, he's your man!

Betty and I were invited into his secondary building which seems to have been a store front at one time but is now storage for the less exciting merchandise. He made it clear that we were privileged patrons to be invited into this inner sanctum.

Mr. Rubenstein is looking for someone to take the entire inventory off his hands. The price? $140,000 with a list of excluded items that do not convey.
