If I got a call for two laptops and five televisions I would jump in my truck and go, whistling the theme song to sanford and sons the whole way there. What exactly constitutes "worth it"?
    If it is worth it to YOU that is what matters, it doesnt matter what the rest of us say. If it makes you money great, just be careful and not lose money. Like I said in my earlier post, I know I lost money on the deal i made today, but some times you have to lose or break even to get your name out there.

    Absolutely 100% corect sir. Sometimes, I feel that the "its not worth it" brigade appear to be coming from the BIG guns on this forum. Some of us, me included, do NOT qualify for such high "status", so us 'lil pistols will go to larger lengths to get the word out to possible future clients, by picking up whatever they have to offer, especially if its all FREE

    Weighing in the cost of gas, would be my only concern. In my case "time", matters not.

    My 2 roubles worth, ty. Ed.
