<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 4490756, member: 649&quot;]I live in a large metropolitan area and occasionally vacation 3-5 hours away in rural spots. Though I have come across a few treasures out in the sticks, the vast majority of my best finds have been in the many large thrifts local to me.</p><p>What I <i>have</i> noticed is that the best stuff comes from thrifts that offer a pick up service, not just drop off. I surmise that they get more house clean-outs after parents&#039;/grandparents&#039; deaths, rather than just random stuff dropped off by someone doing their spring cleaning. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are lots of people who travel the USA, thrifting and antiquing. Some even come from other countries to do so. I think many people may prefer not to &quot;advertise&quot; their area and invite competition. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
