[QUOTE="patd8643, post: 317756, member: 5195"]Five years ago, we would have the choice of about 10 auctions per day and 20-40 on the weekends. Now there may be 2 or 3 daily and maybe 10 or so on the weekends. Some of our favorites and ones I did pictures for are sadly gone. We have some very high end estate sales that one firm has cultivated, and I mean really high end!!! The few GW stores have gone upscale in nice shopping centers, hired a very expensive CEO and priced items accordingly. Few 'nice' items reach the floor and those that do are priced at ebay prices. There is only 1 antique mall within 10 miles of us. Most of what I sell now belonged to our family or us - time to lighten the load. Our 'kids' don't want most of it :( Patd[/QUOTE]
