I understand that people throw away "good stuff", but what's the hazard?

That you can't take it home as you don't have the time and space?

Something I learned years ago is that when many want something gone, they want it gone NOW.



And some wish later that they had held onto it.

I also learned that if you want to keep stuff for a rainy day or such that you need the room to store it and the "room" should be paid for with little funds required to keep it.

I've had my place about 39 years now and it and all that's here is paid for long ago. The taxes are not high.

I pay more for my vehicle to keep it legal and on the road.

The way I live is not for everyone, but it "works" for me.

As for the red box machine, The question of how much was like how long is a piece of rope.

I would guess the machine is locked and full of movies and whoever owns/owned it wants nothing to do with it.

Removing it would not be to hard to do, but getting rid of it would take some time and work for the most value.

If full it would need to be emptied. Then it would be on to getting it loose that should be much like you stated.
