<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 193134, member: 649"]I hesitate to check the boxes that include my main haunts because the categories/groupings are misleading when it comes to data collecting. For instance, I frequent thrift stores but never go to flea markets and they are grouped together despite being VERY different kettles of fish. Same for "garage/yard/estate sales": I will occasionally go to estates sales but never go to garage/yard sales... again, VERY different kettles of fish, IMHO. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>And I only go to estate (aka tag) sales on 50% off day. Yes, much of the "good stuff" is gone by then but I find the estate sale companies generally price the items for the end user/collector, not a dealer. There's usually very little room for profit at their original tagged price.</p><p>I love the fun of the hunt![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
