I tried that for farming a few subs, not the best of luck. I think youd do betetr networking through friends, family, answering the phone at the office, leave your cards at companies that help with moving(storage places, uhaul places). good Luck. Sorry I can't remember the name of of the company that I used for farming. Doesn't your office have one, because if everyone orders you get a much betetr price!
