Yep! Bought mine used from a former paperboy.
I bought my route when I started - only ten customers. But they were about to build a sub-division on the best sledding hill. I sold it with about 80. Big for our little town. Man, I knew everyone. Too bad I wasn’t paying attention - all the daughters meeting me at the door. I was a little young for my age - though it’s really paying off now.
