5. We live in a celebrity culture. But we also live in a throw-away culture. A man in Florida is tak-
ing advantage of these two tendencies simultaneously. First, he created a list of all the "celebri-
ties" in his area. Then, he determined the garbage pick-up routes for those areas. Early in the
morning, before the garbage truck arrives, he scopes out the "celebrity trash" for anything interest-
ing. Occasionally he finds some amazing things... with real collectibility. Once he found a celeb-
rity's entire album collection in 4 paper bags on the curb! (Apparently the celebrity had re-
purchased everything on CD.) Because of the provenance of this collection, he was able to sell it
for thousands!
