Terry...
Sounds like the typical locker we get and don't want. I love to gamble on boxes, but they are a risk. Sometimes I've found even super clean boxes and other items don't pay out. I went against another regular bidder on a 10 x 15 that looked really good...nice clean boxes, in quantity and other stuff looked good too. I went with her to $635...she took it for $650. Later learned from her that the boxes were great but their contents were run of the mill clothes, papers, typical household. I think she broke even, but she had told me she would lose money. We sell 8 spaces apart every Saturday at the best of 4 local fleas.
