<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 261081, member: 88&quot;]I think it just depends on where you live &amp; how much time you have to spend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never go to GS / YS because I am not going to drag my butt out of bed at the crack of dawn. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> Also this is so hit &amp; miss that I do not want to spend time driving around just to come up empty handed. On the other hand, where you live might be a wonderful place to attend these types of sales &amp; you might have had some great success.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do go to a local thrift shop a couple times a month, but do not go to all that are in my area. Again it is a matter of time versus what I can find. The one I go to has been very fruitful, but in general that has not been the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a local consignment shop that I visit quite often. I also sell a lot of stuff there that has not sold on ebay or that I either do not want to bother with or will not sell on ebay but is still a desirable item.</p><p><br /></p><p>We also have a wonderful auction house that holds weekly sales &amp; where likely 80% of my stuff for sale comes from. This past Friday was a perfect example. The estate that came in this week was from the estate of a woman who never met a piece of Lenox Holiday, Fitz &amp; Floyd, art glass, designer purse or anything with a leopard on it that she did not like/buy.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /> (I will post some photos later today in the finds thread.) I did not end up with any of the Lenox Holiday because there were so many collectors of that pattern there the competition was crazy. However most people do not have anything like this &amp; have never been to an auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
