To be completely honest, I'm more of a buyer than a seller. I have a few items that are "worth" (in a loose sense) in the hundreds and thousands, but most are nothing more than a rare conversation piece I have on my desk.

Did you get the MSCHF fucked company toys? The tiny Theranos machine is adorable.
Like you, I collect fucked/defunct company merch, tho my collection isn’t just fraud related, I’ve got Quibi merch — most of it is. I’ve got MoviePass, Fyre Festival legit merch with tags, Ozy Media was a recent one, Enron business cards, Arthur Andersen tote bags, Worldcom mugs, etc. I’ve even got some old Internet Explorer merch, because it’s kitsch!
What is your favorite piece?

Do you have a website to show some of them off? I would love to see some of your gravestones.
This thread is the most interested anyone has ever been in this stuff, I'll have to consider some sort of catalog as the collection grows, not a bad idea.

I'm assuming it's lots of dot-com era, do you also collect outside of tech? E.g Lehman Brothers or Enron
08 graveyard is actually some of my favorite stuff. I love Lehman and Bear stuff.

At first I read 'worth in the hundreds of thousands' and I was really curious what garnered such value. Language ambiguity is fun.
