Moving from one state cost money,transportation to move heavy items cost money, meals, place to stay cost money,trying to get customers cost money These guys don't earn much. They need to make a small profit to survive. They saved a lot of junk from being lost for ever. if they were not around sooner or later the junk will just end up in the trash. I feel sorry for them as they don't have a very high profit margin plus it takes time to sell off those items. the few pieces they mange to find is not much and I really. Really wonder how they really make any money when there are so much hidden cost and expenses.
