[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 4457665, member: 5515"]Charlie, I love your comments :) let me address a few things: #1. I have definitely been blessed to be in a part of the country with some great stores. With a lot of stores, some small and some big, with some great stuff. #2. I also want to give you a sense of the level of personal effort I take to find this stuff. You get to see the highlight reel on the forum, but I doubt many on the forum really understand how far I travel and how long I search. I do resell some of the items, so I need to keep track of my business miles (any time I'm driving to a thrift store or picking up a silver purchase, I record using a GPS App on my phone). So to give you an idea of how frequently I'm doing this, I've driven 5844 business miles since January, and this is strictly something I do in my spare time outside of my career. So yes, in this particular case they missed the mark, but to get "lucky" to find things like this is an excruciating amount of effort on my part to be at the right time and right place. :)[/QUOTE]
