<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 1061811, member: 5515&quot;]I never like to talk about the location I&#039;m in, it&#039;s just something I try not to bring onto the forums in general. In regards to your other questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Timing: Timing certainly can be a factor, but the factors I consider more relevant are frequency and opportunity. <b>Opportunity</b>: I have <u>a lot</u> of thrift stores to choose from within the area I currently live. If I didn&#039;t have that, I wouldn&#039;t do quite as much hunting. So the most important factor in my hunting is the opportunity to visit a lot of stores. <b>Frequency</b>: I think I&#039;ve done a fair job describing it on the forum, but it&#039;s not uncommon for me to visit over 10 stores in a day and travel over 100 miles in a day during my hunting. So I have found items in the morning, in the middle of the day, in the afternoon and at night. There are certainly a number of items I&#039;ve found that were &quot;very fresh&quot; on the shelf, likely placed within the last few hours or less. But my belief is real silver, priced ridiculously low won&#039;t last a day in a thrift store, it will always be found. So by visiting a lot of stores with a high frequency, I&#039;m giving myself a higher probably of the alignment of timing as a factor. I hope that makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I could post the number of days where I traveled far and wide, and I came up empty handed (because there are many of those days) but that isn&#039;t what this forum is about; for me it&#039;s about those very lucky days where opportunity and frequency allow for luck and timing to do what they do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
