Quoted from too-many-pins:If either of the deals were local both would have turned out OK but since each was over 400 miles away (one way) transportation cost pretty much killed any profits for me. Since I am semi retired and don't need a lot of money coming in I don't mind working cheap but being on a fixed income I can't justify working my ass off for a loss.

It sounds like this was a major pain in the ass, all things considered.
If you had to do it over again, would you simply pass on this and pass it on to another collector who was closer to the stash?
