<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 138229, member: 60"]When the internet and ebay became popular, the hunt became easier. People didn't have to search flea markets and antique stores to find something, they could find 20 of them on ebay. Depression glass is a good example of that. Collectors started to realize that some of those "rare" pieces were no longer rare because people from all 50 states had them listed. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I disagree with is "because you can't accidentally find something valuable at the flea market anymore". I suppose that would also depend on your definition of valuable. There are still treasures to be found at flea markets and yard sales, you just have to look harder and know what you're looking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
