It's not uncommon for me to see 5-6 people coming to see what I've left behind down there while I'm working...especially when it's toward the end of the month.

Yeah im not sure I want to drive and look anymore outside a 15 mile search radius from where I live. I want to start doing auctions for heavy items instead. Driving around unless you have routes that are set and established is a waste of resources and every gallon counts when just starting out. I am cold calling apartments and soon body shops/ repair shops. Its really competitive out there.

Nothing out around here as well, a couple months back I needed a bigger truck. LOL

But it's happened before, kids are back to school. Seems to slack off every year around this time for me.
