<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 342486, member: 78&quot;]Hi James,</p><p>&nbsp; It is so true and disheartening. I was a gatherer. I would spend my weekends buying stuff at yard sales and thrift stores. I would hold three or four huge sales a year. I sold my stuff cheaply because I bought it even cheaper. I would make a profit of between 3 and 7 thousand dollars a weekend. It was work but I loved it since I got to meet hundreds of people. Some people would travel 200 to 300 miles for my sales. Since they knew I was not offering the usual junk. My sales notice in the paper always said &quot;No clothes, no baby stuff, no Tupperware&quot;. Did this for over 10 years and then the bottom fell out. I could not even get 5 dollars for a mint condition McCoy cookie jar. The really expensive stuff(over a hundred dollars) went to the auction houses and finally to eBay. The year 2000 was the end for me. I was glad of the carnival ride while it lasted. The 25 years were fun and met a lot of people who became friends.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
