    mid century modern items are hot right now, some people toss it and others collect it, when i find them i hold onto them untill i can have a yard sale or the flea market or the antique store.
    if i sell them great if i dont oh well im not going to give them away.
    i have had stuff in my shred pile and my wife and mother in law will pull them out they pull some of the most odd ball crap and it will bring good money at the places that i sell at.
    i picked up a print becouse it was in an ali frame, it made it into the house becouse when i got it home the print looked cool, one of my m-i-laws friends commented on it and asked if i would sell it. after i looked it up i took it to the frame shop and had new glass put in and some restorative work dome to it. i found that the same print had sold at christies for $18K, needless to say that is one that i will have to hold on to.
