It's a treasure trove around here sometimes, In NZ someone would be round with a trailer to get it all and sell via a perpetual yard sale or second-hand shop, it would be a very easy $300 a trailer full. But not in Aus, Sydney especially.
My sister had this old couch she couldn't part with, finally she made the move and tried to sell for $100, no one wanted it, eventually she caved and put it outside her house with a sign "take for free".. no one wanted it, so she called the local salvation army to come and get it... but they didn't want it either, she ended up paying the local council $30 to take it away.
