[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 317473, member: 924"]I think it is getting harder, but not impossible, to source good items cheaply. Charity shops mostly send interesting items to specialist departments, while auction houses are moving to online sales, so there is often limited advantage in a good auction rummage if the auction house has taken good photos and has accurate descriptions. If I were younger I might have tried clearance, but that is out of the question now. Still, we are managing to get plenty at the moment to keep us more than busy, and we find that research and developing knowledge still counts for a lot in identifying incorrectly catalogued sleepers[/QUOTE]
