<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 261023, member: 60"]There are only a few thrifts that I bother to look in because of all the same reasons everyone stated above. I find my best finds at yard sales and estate sales. I also do well at a warehouse that is owned by a company that does clean outs. They have two different floors, one for the "good" stuff and one for everything else. I've found some good things they've missed on the everything else floor. When the place is overflowing, they run a 50% off everything sale and I always do well on those sales. </p><p><br /></p><p>A new thing that I'm seeing is "pop-up" vintage sales. There is one that is held once a month not far from here and I've picked up a few really nice items for a very nice profit. </p><p><br /></p><p>My all time favorite place is this very messy antique, junk shop. Pickers line up on Monday to sell their weekend finds to the owner who pays them next to nothing. I don't really know why they sell there unless it's just for quick cash. Everything is priced dirt cheap and I've found some incredible things in there. The best find was a painting by an artist who has auction sales in the several thousand dollar range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
