old == worthless.

Doubt anyone here would watch or care, but just as an interesting bit that someone who writes TV sitcoms understands this. There was a Malcolm in the Middle Episode S04E15 "Garage Sale" where they go through this exact situation. http://www.tv.com/shows/malcolm-in-the-middle/garage-sale-225447/ "Malcolm suggests that the family have a garage sale in order to earn money to pay for the repairs in Hal and Lois' room (caused by Hal in "Hal's Friend"). Lois, finally returning, decides to put Reese in charge, because while she was away she was reminded of her childhood and how she was never encouraged, and now wants to give Reese a chance to prove himself. Malcolm hates that Reese is in charge especially when he is instructed to throw out a Nortair 680B computer part (worth $1300). Malcolm plans on making everyone realize the mistake and enlists Craig's help. Hal finds an old transmission that he used to run a pirate radio and decides to hook it up for old times sake. Dewey decides to sell things from the house. Meanwhile, Francis tries to get Otto to open up about his long lost son."
