[QUOTE="Joshua Brown, post: 240760, member: 3615"]Thanks Joe for asking!!!:woot: This is right up my alley; I spend a lot of time visiting Rural, Suburban, and Urban Estate Sales. I have made a list of generalizations about each of the above (remember there's always exceptions). [B]Rural[/B] Pros: Lots of hoarders No idea of value (no desire to research value) A tendency to have old items Cons: Usually a longer drive (not for everybody) Sentimental attachment means overpricing Lots of junk to sift through [B]Suburban[/B] Pros: Lots of stuff Plenty of expensive items Cons: A lot of toys and children's clothing Hard to find a deal because of seller research High intensity of modern items [B] Urban[/B] Pros: Expensive Items Cons: Less space means less "stuff" Lots of items are overpriced [B]Disclaimer: These generalizations are not true in every area. When I say Urban I am talking about Boston. [/B][/QUOTE]
