How many tvs do you have?

[Jeffhs]

I wonder just how big Big Dave's apartment is. It must be huge, if he can fit all those old TVs in there and still have room to move around. I also live in an apartment, but mine is very small (one bedroom, with the main part of the apartment being one large room). I couldn't begin to amass a TV collection anywhere near as big as BD's is. The best I can do here is to have my two old Zenith radios in my place, but when I got my new one I had to stick my first ebay find in a closet (my apartment only has one closet, in my bedroom). I am pretty much out of space now, so collecting old TVs is completely out of the question anymore (although I did have half the basement of my former home full of old sets, but that was over 30 years ago).

BD has a valid point about his neighbors possibly reporting him to the rental office or landlord, as most apartment managers take a dim view of their tenants using apartments for anything other than living space. I don't envy him his collection, however, because it will be a big job getting all those old sets out of there if and when he moves again. Believe me, I know. When I moved from my former home 31 years ago (years before moving to where I live now), I had to get rid of all but two of the old sets I had in the basement of that house. My neighbors must have thought I was running a TV shop out of my basement when they saw TVs on the tree lawn in front of the house, every week for about a month before I moved.
