          As my mother would say, "One man's trash is another's treasure."

          They probably wouldn't be too happy with me if I said "You don't
want xxx?  Thank you... I can use it myself or get at least $100 for it on
eBay."

          Apparently Doolittle knew the monetary value of their castoffs.  :-))
