<p>[QUOTE="VintageKaren, post: 261945, member: 3173"]I go to my neighborhood Goodwill 3-4x a week. And while I sometimes walk out empty handed, I have found some amazing things over the years. Here are some of my finds in the last few weeks: a like new Jack Spade leather messenger/laptop bag, a 1950s Prado (Mexico City) baby alligator purse, 2 vintage crystal Traube sherry glasses, and a 1985 Samobor (Yugoslavia) lead crystal whisky decanter. All priced reasonably enough so I can make a profit. Though I do keep a few things for myself from time to time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I rarely visit the Vincent de Paul store six miles away because the few good vintage things I have ever spotted here were priced at eBay prices.

Likewise with some of the boutique thrift stores around. All the best. Would love to hear how it turns out for you.[/QUOTE]
