Why do you think boomers are the only demographic that actually like jeets? Who do you think is signing off on all those H1 visas? TBD cannot come soon enough.
Doubtless he wanted top dollar for them. I’ve tried to buy stuff from boomers before (you know the type of stuff — extra tables and chairs sitting in their garages, old musical instruments or camera equipment that’s gone unused for 50 years, etc) and I’ve had them be SOOO offended and refuse to negotiate.
Sir, it’s literal trash. You’re not going to get the money you want from it. Instead, your descendants will have to haul it to the dump when you’re dead.
He was “desperate” when he offered them to me at the price he paid for them. I still declined.
Boomers assume everything they buy is an appreciable asset. So he intended to offload these liabilities off on people as a profit to him. Like you said, anything that wasn’t a nice profit was offensive to him. Nobody took him up on it because you can just buy these things new.
We discussed boomer heirlooms and keepsakes here before. As pointed out, we don’t have the room to buy a bunch of stupid shit. The era of finding a glass coke bottle from your depression era parents and then selling it for $100 or whatever is over. Mass manufactured fine china from 1955 is not worth thousands of dollars, it’s some shit that millennials and zoomers don’t have room in their efficiency apartments for. Boomers wanted high property prices because their houses is their nest egg, these are the consequences.
We were contracted for two days, so you're paying us for two days. I mean, we can come back here and stare at you for another 4 hours if that makes you feel better.
They believe that all work payments are based on hourly wage rather than a contracted price whenever it's convenient for them. It blows my mind how retarded they are when it comes to money, yet they somehow have the most wealth.
Ah yes, the dumbest federal program in history. It's not like people really needed these old cars that we're affordable and could be fixed with simpler parts or taking parts from other cars and putting them all together. And since this was during the late 2000s, this was made by Boomers in government, so yes, Boomers technically ruined the used car market.
I wonder if that mentality has to do with the homes many of them were essentially given for free and are now worth millions?
A little back story on how my boomer dad came to end up living with me part time. He had a house, basically given to him by his mom when he knocked my mom up pretty much exactly 50 years ago to the day. I suspect I was conceived during the 200th US Independence Day celebrations. If there's one thing we know about boomers is they love a good booze filled party. Anyway, this house was purchased by his mother for just under $40k. She signed it over to him after making several years of the payments and he took over the remainder. I don't know how much was still owed on the mortgage but it wasn't a lot.
Towards the end of 2024 he was here visiting us and a water pipe froze in his house causing catastrophic damage. The house had already fallen into major disrepair with failing plumbing, electrical, and it was filled to the brim with various collections of crap. I think he had about 7 TVs, 3 washing machines, and a ton of car parts, and he never threw out a piece of mail. EVER. I drove him home to assess the damage. It was determined to be unfixable so the house was sold to an investor for $265k. Basically a free house for him and he made that much money on it. Yeah, he thinks he's pretty dang smart. If he had maintained the house it would've been worth over $500k.
Fast forward to present day. We are struggling to make our own mortgage payment, put food on the table for our kids, and we just had to fix a leaking roof which was very expensive. He's been here for a month. Hasn't paid us a dime. He told me he didn't think the roof leak was that serious of a problem and was shocked when he asked and I told him how much it cost to fix.
No parents of mine helped me acquire a house. It took until I was 44 years old to be able to afford it. We already struggle each month and he has no problem being a freeloader also while judging us for fixing or maintaining our house so it doesn't end up in the unlivable state his house was in.
Their mentality is absolutely screwed up. I have been considering the theory that their generation is majorly brain damaged by lead poisoning. Because nothing about their mentality or priorities makes any sense.
I had one get physical with me a year or so back. There is some level of delusion for someone to strike me first, then when I tried to walk away this faggot's screaming "where ya goin?!" at the top of his lungs. Get right in my face, then proceed to shut up as I have him pinned to the fucking floor about a minute later. all while he's screaming "It was self defense" like the spoiled manbaby he was. I genuinely hope that faggot learned his lesson.
A lot of this shit will crash and burn for one simple reason: millennials and zoomers don’t have the space to accommodate collections. The “own nothing and be happy” consensus means you’re not going to have garage space for classic cars, den space for guns, etc. A lot of boomer keepsakes will end up in the landfill.
I have met boomers that never understand the resale market. One tried to shout me down at a flea market because they wanted me to buy a bunch of mass market paperbacks at a price that was too high for the condition they were in. Edgar Rice Burroughs ones that were worn out. Not scarce stuff. But nice covers by Frazetta and etc. If in pristine condition, I could have seen someone paying the price they were asking (10 bucks a piece, whole set of Tarzans, Barsooms, and Venus books). But given they had a lot of condition issues, I was trying to get them for way way less.
The boomer started talking about punching me for trying to haggle and I explained that the real appeal's going to be the cover art and condition, because ERB's stuff is mostly in public domain and easily accessed. I wanted the set as reading copies and offered $3 a piece. These were intact and I could maybe have gotten them to look nice on my shelf with a lot of repair work. But, hey, I guess the boomer "knew what he had".
And that was for small books that still have appeal, I can't fucking imagine boomers trying to resell shit like Elvis collectibles.
This guy bought his toys and then never used them. He bought this monster RV for $400k over a decade ago. He initially tried selling it for a profit, like $500k or some shit, because he only used it once or twice a year. By the time he asked me it was “only” the original amount he paid for it. He was never able to sell it so it just sits on his property. He does absolutely no maintenance so knows if the RV actually works these days. I would not trust it for any kind of extended trip, which is the purpose of having it to begin with. Nigger acted like he was losing his ass by selling it for the cost he bought it at.
Boomers don't have a good concept of the resale market and operate based on sensationalist gambles. I know a boomer that didn't understand that old tech doesn't mean it's inherently collectible.
This is what boomers have done to the price of land/housing in central Texas.
The house is an older artisan rustic style 1700 square foot home. Oh and the only trees in the property are what you see in the picture, the rest is literally just open field….
I’m curious to know what region(s) will be in vogue to move to after boomers die off and the boomertopia areas of Texas, Arizona, Florida, Tennesse, and North Carolina have gone to shit and are ghost towns inhabited by their now homeless millennial druggie kids who are now 60 And illegals.

No, this isn't a boomer thing. Boomers are the ones that adopted the Gillette cartridge razors, you know the ones that cost you 3 bucks per blade instead of 10 cents per blade which is the current price of a dual edge razor blade. Boomers are brainwashed into thinking that dual edge razors are inherently dangerous and the only purpose is for bipolar girls to slit their writs with. So they believed the gillette propaganda that we are on an eternal progress of technology and you need an increasingly expensive razor blade each time the Gillette patent expires while the dual edge still is remarkably effective and you simply need to learn how to lather and shave to use it.

Thats just a rule of life. You never get the money you put into it. Ever. Even if "they don't make em anymore." And 90% of the time with that, they don't make em because "they" have a better version now.

If you thought that was bad. There was a listing that sold a few months back that I can’t find where it was a 800 square foot “barndominium” on 20 acres.
The asking price was 815k. MAGABoomers with their 5$ million dollar investment portfolio buy these properties as their “Anti Nigger Shed” aka if shit ever hits the fan like in 2020 it’s their place to flee to.
Saint Fentanyl Floyd and the riots that ensured after his death is a big reason why land is so expensive.
Montana and Utah are already too expensive and mildly pozzed.
Nebraska, eastern Kansas, Missouri, northern Arkansas, central Oklahoma, and Iowa are gonna blow up. I think NW Arkansas is on track to be the next big thing like Nashville or Austin. Kansas City has changed rapidly in the last 15 years and they are putting in mass transit. Omaha is really developing as well. None of them feel "full" or too expensive but have all the big city amenities, so I think costal diaspora will settle for them and keep their momentum snowballing.
