I think of the re sellers as futures traders, just in it to make a buck.

My guess is it won't be long now until it is very profitablePioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-61421531683065799782014-08-08T18:21:56.862-04:002014-08-08T18:21:56.862-04:00It just hasn't been worth my time and patience...It just hasn't been worth my time and patience to deal with the public and sell vegetables, they just aren't hungry enough yet I guess or have no idea how much work it takes to pick beans or what ever. I do trade them for other peoples produce or services and avoid sitting around all day trying to get someone to buy a pound of beans.
