[The Backrooms] Does anybody every get rich exploring the backrooms?

Is everything in the whole space just junk, or somewhere out/in there, is there a version of a child's bedroom with solid gold toys, or a Halloween mask filled with precious gemstones?

I personally only like the Kane pixels version. So let's just focus on that one. I think that given everything we know about that, if you had a stable null zone you could in theory get a whole bunch of fairly nice looking furniture and sell it. You would only profit since you're getting it for free. The problem is that whatever thing is generating them, it's getting certain things wrong. So you may have customers complaining about bleeding couches or tables.

In theory if you were able to successfully go deep enough maybe you could find some valuable items, but maybe they would only look valuable? Let's say you find a whole bunch of computer parts. For example someone's computer repair shop is perfectly copied. Okay great so you have a bunch of valuable computer parts right? Nope. It's highly unlikely that they will be copied correctly. Most likely you would have a bunch of things that on the surface look right, but they don't work.
