Last October/November with the exception of one or two banks that I hit while passing, I quit doing road trips.Not that I wasn't doing well, (my last month netted me over 80 Oz.)it became too time consuming, and the competition was building up at an alarming rate.
In reality I've probably encountered more nice tellers than bad. The bad though, were bad to the core. I felt like I was dealing with people who mingle on a regular basis with sinister forces.
So I left road trips behind forever, and started on boxes.
Now I was doing boxes all along on an irregular basis.A box here, a box there, maybe a 4 box order. Most of these turned out to be skunks or at best a keeper or two. To test the waters I started mega-orders from various banks. With this experiment I found that multiple boxes are the way to go, but that too many boxes, leads to way too many skunk boxes.
I settled on 8 boxes a week from the best producing bank. When their boxes produced less I started ordering an additional 6 boxes from another branch of the same bank. When things picked up at the first bank,I dropped the second bank.
Every so often I'll order from a completely different bank, to test their boxes. If they are good I'll order from them for a few weeks. These tests are in addition to my standard 8 boxes.
I started April with my regular 8 boxes a week. Although my skunk boxes from these have never exceeded 2, my keepers plummeted.So I started ordering an additional 8 boxes from a different bank,which boosted my numbers.
This week I dropped the second bank. The first couple of orders were good,the third terrible, and the fourth okay,but I found myself having to pickup, search, on 2 different days and making an extra dump trip.
Today I picked up another bank and ordered 5 boxes which will come in on the same day as my eight, for a total of 13.
I'll stick with this number for the summer,unless this bank goes sour on me, or I run out of money due to multiple "Dream Boxes"
