At least I would hope they’d digitize the pictures before throwing them out.
The people I see at estate sales look traumatized as it is ...I truly doubt they have....based on their *deer-in-headlight-look* in their eyes.
A few times I’ve engaged them in convo...and they are overwhelmed; often they have driven in, from out of state, to do the deed. They say, *No body wants them.*
Occasionally I’ll buy a photo if it has an old car, or some place/setting that is recognizable.
