What is all this talk about the "thrill of the hunt"? The hunt?? It's the thrill of the FIND!! As one who goes garage sale-ing every Saturday, makes the rounds of the local Goodwill/Salvation Army/assorted thrift stores on a weekly basis, and hits the local swap meets every month, I can tell you, I do a LOT of hunting. When I come home after a full day of hunting at garage sales (Me n' Sabu will hit about 30 - 35 on an average Saturday) with NOTHING to show for it, that is far from thrilling... If that was to happen, week after week, all hunting and no finding, I'd give up on it! But stop in at the right thrift store at the right time, or hit the right sale in a new neighborhood? AHHhhhh... nothing like finding stuff "in the wild"! But even here in So. Cal., it still takes a bit of hunting before one comes up with stuff (no, the tikis do not "grow on trees" here...).

oh, and nothing wrong with hunting on eBay either, IMHO...

Hunting = good...

Finding = better!! :)
