    Everyone is looking for a deal. Believe me I have been in the Vending business for 17 years on my own and around it for a lifetime. I get a call daily asking different questions or can I help with this or that. Being in business is hard and there is certainly more to it than most people recognize. I feel the same way with the pickers. They have contacted me many times but I don't care to be on TV. They have a lot of cost that I understand. Storage being one of the biggest. I've managed to fill more buildings than I even know of... Either way I think they are fair and their business expenses are more vast than most of us think.

    Quoted from benheck:

    Whenever I see a 90 year old farmer with 3 barns worth of junk who's barely willing to sell something they pull out of a mud puddle I think of his poor kids who will have to deal with all that once he's gone.

    I went through this actually. I decided to leave it for my kids. Haha. Just kidding. It is a burden and not much fun but once I actually organised all the stuff it's not nearly as bad.
