Do it and then try to get up to feeders. It's where it's at.
So are you telling him to go into management is he meets the criteria in your post?

He can only buy guns made before Jan 1, 1900 ----and yes he would screw you ----just like the Pickers do to some of those old geezers. That's just the nature of the business---nobody is forced to sale. Sometimes, although very seldom, the tables are turned when what they pay is more than what something is worth. I bought a 100,000 btu torpedo heater for quick warm ups in my shop at a local pawn shop for 65 bucks because the guy said it didn't work. After a 14 dollar rebuild kit bought on line the thing hasn't missed a beat. A new one would set you back 3 or 4 hundred bucks.

I ask guys who work here would you want your kids to work for UPS the answer is always a resounding NO.

I told my son exactly that. He went to work in the hub when they lowered the age. He was in high school. Got out of high school then went into the navy. Got out of the navy, and they hired him back with credit served in the navy. He even works in the feeder department that I spent 30 years in. When I left I told them to treat him right. haha. He's sorry he got those tats on his arms and hand while in the navy now. But yeah, I tried to talk him out of it. A couple of years ago, UPS had a campaign where they wanted drivers to recommend friends and family to work as helpers during peak. The last thing I'd do is try and convince friends and family to work here.
I completely agree with this and the two others below. As for me though, I'm already stuck in the box.

There is always a way out of the box, it's just really really hard to rip the tape off sometimes.

I exercise before work. 5 AM it sucks but once you get into a routine. It's not so bad.

Take it for a test drive son! The only person who can give you the answer to this question is YOU! No ones opinion should matter, kinda like when Upstate decided to go into Management after 3 months of driving.

Keep in mind that "what it's really worth" is only if they are able to find someone willing to pay that amount, which would most likely be at an auction, whether live or online. I guess the question is do you take the reduced amount now or do you take a chance on finding the right buyer.

Usually those pawn shows only offer about 1/3 of what the item is appraised at. Their first offer is usually around 30% and they will come up a little but never to 50%.
If I had something of value, that I could easily list on ebay for nothing, I would do that before I would give it to someone else to make money on. And I would wait until I found the right buyer, before I would give it away, but thats just me.
