Flea Market Follies - Collecting Tiki

But even before that I never told dealers what I was looking for. That's for me to know and them to find out. Also it's better not to show any reaction when you find something really good. Hey Unkle John, the next time the big butted woman is in the same thrift store, try this new twist on her. Find the most EXPENSIVE ugly worthless item in the store. Pick it up and let your face really light up. Turn it over and over and smile just a little. Put it down just long enough to thumb through your billfold. Then look real disgusted, snap you fingers and stamp your foot at the same time, saying "Damn" (with two syllables). Then skulk out of the store and hide around the corner to see if she buys it.
