Yard Sales/Estate Sales?

[Exhibitman]

You just have to decide whether you enjoy spending your time rummaging around a flea market, antiques show, yard sale, etc., or not, with potentially no payoff. I like doing it. Worst case scenario, I figure I get a good 2-3 mile walk in on a weekend morning. Best case, I find something cool or valuable too. As noted above, you got to be first through the door. Fifteen minutes early is two hours late at many of these events. You also have to be ready to pick up whatever is good even if it isn't in your wheelhouse. I've seen people walk away from great deals because the items aren't exactly what they are looking for. It is very competitive. And very, very dusty and dirty work.
