Well let's see, if we don't have capitalism, I guess the only other option would be socialism, and we saw how well that worked. Hate to burst your bubble, but there are no cool tiki mugs for $3 at thrift stores. At least not when your collection is the size mine is. Laney is exactly correct in that your scope of items is greatly increased through ebay. I bought a 1953 Rickenbacker double neck steel guitar a few months ago from a guy in Kansas. I guarantee you I wouldn't have found one in So Cal.
