Just called the bank that has been hooking it up with boxes even tho im not a member. I asked if they normally get just 2 boxes and if it would be ok to get more, and yup! 2k coming in next week, so now have separate carriers for dump/pickup.. bout time.. this bank is a lil ways away but there is a branch close, probably were I will go and open a account anyway.

Trying to not get too excited, out of the 2 boxes one had like 1 40% the other box was loaded, and the past couple single boxes were minimal finds as well, it will just be nice to get a steady system again

If a bank is super cooperative toward your hobby as this one is, then IMO you owe them all the business you can bring them.

The question is, do they know you dont have an account with them. They might perceive you as having an account. Now if they know you dont have an account, i do believe you need to be extra nice to that branch. Say a box of sweets or a dozen Donuts, as reward for their awesomeness.

^^ Kinda my guess.. it just never came up, part of the reason i want to go ahead and open a account

I was in the same boat with a super-friendly head teller. I could never tell whether she knew I didn't have an account, and was careful not to give anything away. The awkward part was when I was ready to open an account; I 'confessed' to her that I didn't have an account, but that I wanted to open one. She said she knew all along.

Definitely what Arkie said. Over time I gave them more and more business, and my relationship with them is great; has opened the door to more opportunities than I would have believed.
