Several years back I was doing an odd job for a guy in the liquidation business, this was back before you had stores like Building 19 etc...
Basically he was buying merchandise from a housewares trade show show floor in Chicago at 25 cents on the wholesale dollar, then we would truck all the crap back to Iowa where he would sell it in his shop.
My job aside from driving one of the trucks was to keep the Teamsters from stealing everything before it could get loaded!
The amount of money you had to grease those guys to do anything was incredible.
