i'm ron and i own triple a photofest we're the largest used camera dealer south of new york city
probably the number one item i sell is a prostate tee the reason we have supplements is a person
brings cameras in that are not working correctly we repair the cameras the people aren't working
correctly we got supplements to make them work correctly my name is lisa and ron is my friend
when you first walk in you're not sure what the shop is about there's just so much to look at
i have cameras from 1906. i have medium formats large formats i have graphics i have leicas i
have six by sevens i have video cameras you walk around and be wilderman and just say wow
i'm linda ron's sister the last time i had seen his shop it was quite disorganized
boxes on top of boxes camera pieces vitamins and then he had some pets
he likes kind of creepy animals too it's kind of weird there was a pungent odor
personally i have a high gag reflex so i was just like you know
my name is renee i've known ron for a long long long long time he tells everybody that i'm his
son because when my father passed away he stood up and he says i will be your father from now on
unfortunately i have not been in the store for many years renee hasn't been in the store in
a long time he probably is going to think it's a mess you know he's a real plus pot
my name's trish i'm ron's wife in our home i was constantly moving stuff and organizing it for him
and then i realized hey we don't have any room here there's something wrong we have
too much stuff when i started to suggest to him that we needed to start getting rid of
some stuff to make some more space he had kind of a strong reaction he would make me feel bad
and i felt bad when he made me feel bad about it it eventually put a strain on our relationship
i just told him i've had enough of this i didn't know what to do and then my mother called me and
she was really sick and she needed me to come up and stay with her and i decided to stay
in tennessee with them when i left i asked ron if he would come with me and he asked me how he
could possibly leave all of the stuff behind and i said if you love me you can come and stay with me
i was extremely upset very very upset she was my dream girl and hoping she'll be back
i think ron chose his stuff over me if he's still choosing his stuff over me
then we're not going to be able to have a relationship
not seeing trish in the store is killing me because their love is so big but it's so so hard
you know you scratch your head and you wonder how is this guy doing business
i would hate to think that he would lose the business because he can't get it cleaned up but
i'm afraid that that's what's going to happen if he cannot clean up this store the state
or the county will do something about it and they will close it they will close it
i want to welcome everyone thank you so much for being here i'm standalone robertson a
certified professional organizer renee's not with us now but you have lots of support here
are you excited about doing this or any concerns you know i tried to help them at one point it
was difficult it was really hard ron we have a finite amount of time so i need your laser focus
to make decisions okay okay okay well let's get this started let's do it
flash
um put this with a maybe file you said you got a baby pile put them with a baby pop
we have a maybe pile don't we do we we're not maybe possible all right then keep
okay all of maybe pile was a decision it's something i don't want to make right now
because i want to keep going and that's why i'd rather just maybe think about it later you've
been doing that for years this whole place is filled with babies so i'm asking you to do the
hard decisions you like making them when they're easy but you're not making them when they're hard
if ron continues to touch every single little thing we will not get this job
done how did this wind up out here i think that
ron is definitely overwhelmed i'm surprised he hasn't had a heart attack
we're going to look at some of this stuff and try and invent a number oftentimes when you're
working with a client they will think that they have something that's really really valuable
that's unique because i got the flash yeah well i would start out at 25 bucks 50 bucks wow ron
tell me what that lick was for because i thought it was worth a thousand dollars heartbreaking
when you see what's happened to the president some of these that one i thought was worth more
we were able to remove about 30 of merchandise that he doesn't need
or will not use three solid trucks of things that will be donated or recycled
hey ron oh my god you all right it never looked this good even when i moved in
you can see my counters place for customers to sit yes what about the kids the dragon
yeah for the kids when i first got here i felt like i was coming into a
flea market where there were vitamin cells there were pets it was a museum
now it's well organized i can walk around with my eyes closed
i think business will be better because i think a lot of the people will actually be talking about
how nice the store looks there's more work to be done right but you're you're going in the right
direction and i just know so much that this is going to help him and it makes me so happy
i think lisa is a great friend to ronald i'm so happy for you
it's all clear so i can actually function like a normal person again
