Yea, it will work, you just need to make sure you go through the unit with a fine tooth comb and make sure you take anything of value. Anything of doubt you need to take with you as well. It's incredible the value of some of the crap I find that I would normally just toss in the garbage without researching.

In my limited experience, I have found items that I consider junk or Goodwill material that sells for $10-$100 on Ebay, and have found gold jewelry in the bottom of buckets with rusty nails, pencils, cigerette butts, & other useless doo-dads.

What I am saying is, there is a certain amount of risk of missing valuables by quickly digging through a unit, grabbing what you think is valuable and giving the rest away.

There is a fine art to doing this. You have tell them in the ad that the stuff is free but they must take everything including the trash. So, obviously you have to be there to enforce this. If you don't specify that they must take everything, they will take what they want and leave you with a gigantic mess.
