A sect of New Yorkers who hunt down discarded furniture on the city streets are making a fortune off of their finds, including a woman, Denise Gordon, 68, who once found and flipped a leather Eames lounge for $2,000.'People don't know what they're throwing away,' Gordon, who lives in Gramercy Park, recently told The . 'In my neighborhood, they don't know and they don't care.'It is a practice known as stooping, and those who partake in it – stoopers – know how to read the city's trash piles in order to hone in on potentially valuable furniture-finds that would otherwise wind up at the dump.
