<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 4462928, member: 5398"]What I find interesting is the feeling I get when looking at all the photos and realizing that I have items in my meager collection that are similar to items in several different categories at this mega sale, but now mine don't seem as special. I used to go searching for hidden treasures one at a time at estate sales and thrift stores to unwind from a stressful job. So for me, buying something at a sale like this wouldn't be fun or challenging (even at bargain prices), because it wouldn't give me the satisfaction of thinking I had a good eye for spotting something special. I'm curious if the person(s) who owned this collection bought things a few at a time, or bought up other collections. In any case, I suppose all of these things are much more abundant in the northeastern part of the country than here in the Midwest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
