Here in So Cal everything is pretty picked over. Dealers comb the thrifts and estate sales, so if you go that way, you just have to go early/often. Estate sales in the neighborhoods where the old folks live are the best (Long Beach!). You never know what treasures you'll find amidst the polyester. We have several good flea markets, sometimes you can get a decent deal. But yeah, ebay is crazy $$$ because of the added shipping costs.
