| I usually just pick up a box when I stop in. Not a heavy hitter but they'll add up eventually. |

Standard order at each bank is 24 boxes.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| Well I was just curious, since it looks like I've already burned up goodwill at one branch. Don't know how Hoard does it, he must have a well-established long-term network. I started on this site two weeks ago with big dreams and stars in my eyes (visions of tons of copper) and now reality is setting in... it's going to be a long slow process. Jadedragon tells me I need a Ryedale, but then I don't have the supply system (or the time) to keep it fed and the zincs returned. Guess I'm gonna have to just come back down to Earth and figure on sorting perhaps one box a day, aim for maybe accumulating $100 a month in CU. Does that sound about right? |
Hoard now and hold on!

| If you sorted a box a day, you would probably be closer to putting up $150 a month assuming a 20% rate of copper, or about $190 at 25%. If that isn't fast enough for you or sorting becomes a problem because of supply/dumps, you could always buy some from members here at a very fair rate. |

| When you figure all the work and time, it certainly makes sense to just buy the copper presorted right now. Kurr is a great guy to deal with too. And he sets the bottom line price in the market right now. I would probably trade some for silver too. |

| The only trouble with buying is then you miss the sense of self-accomplishment that comes with setting a goal and meeting it. Any fat cat with a big wallet could just come in here and accumulated a bunch of CU by just buying everyone else's sweat of the brow, but what would be the fun of that? You'd miss the thrill of discovery when old wheaties show up, let alone IHP (like I'll ever see one of those!) |
Hoard now and hold on!

| I only get $50 bags - 1 at a time usually. So I take it 1 bag = 2 boxes. Never seen boxes before except at the LP3 event. Nothing like a bag! (Almost 2 bowling balls of weight in the size of one ball.) |

| I get either 2 or 4 boxes per week, depending on my other workloads. |

I wish I could get bags. Then I could really do some serious sorting.
You could mix it up.. buy some and sort some. That way you would get the thrill of accomplishment while being able to build your hoard at a decent clip by purchasing supplementals from other members. |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

It's easy.. I have accounts at almost every major bank. There are hundreds of branches between home and work. Plus I am nice to the tellers. |

Bags all the way. If I can't get enough pennies with bags, I'll order some boxes.
Boxes are so slow when you are use to doing bags. |

| Do the large/major banks/branches sell you bags? Or only the smaller banks with few branches? |
