More hassle than throwing them into a dumpster. I suspect that what BG wants is for one of the more-money-than-god-less-sense-than-a-cat .com billionaires that infest the bay area to throw down some pocket change, then show up with a moving truck and get the things out of his hair. And they won't do that unless they think that it's a rare & valuable collection that they're getting at a steal from an eccentric genius. Which it is. And he is. And maybe it's a steal. It's not much more than a Tesla, and I'd say they've got more value for money than it would have.
