I only find the awesome at garage sales! <br /><br />The problem I find is that employees THINK they know what is good and price it in a crazy way. They don't know much though, and I can still pull out great deals.

A bunch of clueless people selling "junk." Then it caught on. Now the thrift stores around me are mostly pre-scoured. Hard to find the awesome anymore. My best find ever was a mint-condition Kentucky Derby glass from 1961. I paid 89 cents for it, and sold it for 132.00 on eBay! Although the box of Russel Wright melmac dinnerware I got for 20 bucks and sold for 400.00 wasn't bad, either!unmitigated mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901264130484454602noreply@blogger.com
