Tour of a pack-rat's house. That woman needs help. It might be cheaper to burn the place down than to clean it up and sell it. Link courtesy of the_never.
Indeed! Though sadly, that might just prompt her to move over to the Shopping Network and yard sales... but still. The guy's a college student; surely he can do something to the computer to outsmart his mother. ("But professor, I just had to write this virus...".)
Some of the stuff seems to be from yard sales... I guess it's just that eBay is easier, the stuff comes shipped to you in convenient boxes, and you can do it every evening (as opposed to some weekends).
Also aside from the arson aspect, I'm not sure that burning down the house would really help: a lot of the stuff seemed to be glass. Sure, it would melt, but I don't think that would keep the packrat mother from trying to keep it after it cooled down.
