I am envious of those of you who have the diligence to attend local auctions, scour flea-markets and garage sales and travel around hitting antique stores. I have the time to do it, but not the patience. (@Dan and Carlton)
Nate - I must be the 'third Scott'
(or perhaps lower?)
But I do grab a gem every now and then. Most of the 'average' gems come from ebay (see below), but the huge finds are generally in antique stores - on average one a year. Last year was particularly good - I made two really great finds (huge by my standards) but no baseball.
I used to get my best stuff from auction houses, but you pay market for most of those.
