Ongoing street sales of people's old "stuff"

Older women usually are the people who put out these tables outside these buildings on Second Avenue at the bottom of Murray Hill....they have, it seems, old rent stabilized apartments they will never leave (why should they?)-- but from time to time they just decide some of the old "stuff" they have accumulated has to go.

This batch includes some framed picture of the Yankees from some pennant season a long time ago as well as an air filter machine...

I used to have a machine just like the one shown. I went through air filters pretty fast as there seems to be a lot of dust in the air in NYC wherever you are ( my Eye Ears Nose and Throat doctor confirms this)...

Without thinking about looking on the internet ( it took me a while to get used to googling for things) I decided that going out and finding these filters (only a couple of stores in Manhattan seemed to reliably carry the ones I wanted) was an expense and a pain that was not worth it.
 So I just left my machine down in a spot in the bldg where I lived then where people left items other people might want on their way to the trash...someone took it right away.

By the way, I do not have any allergies especially, just mild hay fever type reactions from time to time in the summer...
