<p>[QUOTE="Marko, post: 2338305, member: 210"]Things have been surreal here. Half of my charity thrifts are still closed, no church sales, most flea markets still closed, very few estate sales, yard sales starting up but really cutthroat. I went to a yard sale that advertised jewelry and was opening at 9 a.m., I was there at 7 a.m., and the lady told me somebody knocked on her door the day before the sale and she sold her all the jewelry. I was beat out by 5 minutes at my little thrift shop by two women who bought all the new jewelry put out. My flea market had people RUNNING around yelling out what they are looking for. I have been very discouraged, but I do have some finds I photographed and need to upload to show you guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one estate sale I did go to, nobody was buying the jewelry. I bought some the first day, and showed up two hours after the sale started the second day (half price day) and most of the jewelry was still there, so I got some nice things. I did find two antique mall mistakes, and i got some vintage dolls very cheap that are collectible. I will try to upload tonight.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bad thing here in South Jersey is that people are disregarding wearing masks and social distancing. Unfortunately, it's turning into a political issue....not a health issue. No places are making people wear them inside. I went to Cape May last Friday, and nobody was following any rules. I don't want to stay home, but I don't want to get sick, either. I just do my part by wearing my mask, and I did buy a pack of 10 face shields. To boot, the weather has been 87 degrees and up and humid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
