I have discovered a few nuggets at estate sales (these are my favorite places to hunt because there is always other cool stuff to look at) and rarely at garage sales. Seems most garage sales now are just an excuse for people to unload their crappy old holiday decorations! The local antiques malls and once a month flea-market will somtimes yield treasure but more often than not you will be paying higher $ for it. Its all about the hunt though, eh? Aloha, :tiki:
