<p>[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 16260, member: 1258"]Actually, we had a client that sent us 8 coffee cans full of wheaties that he bought for a song. We took the time to sort the dates but did not search the pennies for rare or valuable varieties, though I did remove any that didn't have clear dates. It was our feeling that it wouldn't be fair to search them and just include the junk in the lots. We sold them in rolls of 50 different dates each and made sure that at least 25 in each roll were from the teens to the 30's so that no one would get inundated with 40's and 50's. Unfortunately, for the time that this takes, we have set it on the back burner for now and still have 6 cans left. It is very time consuming but we feel that it is worth it for our customers. Do I think that a lot of sellers take this kind of time? Unfortunately, no. But I wanted to explain how you could come across unsearched wheats even if they are sorted by date. If I could be sure that the mix would be good, we would sell them in 1/2 pound lots which would take a lot less time. We still may if I keep stubbing my toe on the cans. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
