<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 4491481, member: 37&quot;]I think people are much better educated as to value than they used to be.&nbsp; At least they know how to use thier phones to look things up.&nbsp; I do know that there are some people who can&#039;t be bothered and just don&#039;t care (I have to think that is why Anund gets such great deals from the thrifts.). The trend is certainly toward utility vs. collectability among today&#039;s shoppers.</p><p><br /></p><p>It also goes in waves, changes over time.&nbsp; I am not getting the buys I used to even a couple years ago.&nbsp; I had a great 6-8 year run where I was finding great stuff.&nbsp; Before that, it was harder since more peole were in to antiques back then.&nbsp; The dry spell now seems to be more of a supply thing.&nbsp; I think a lot of people are not letting loose since values are so depressed right now.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the good stuff is making it to the general marketplace.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
