Item hunt: Any interest in pooling resources?

[supernova]

Was at a couple of estate sales yesterday and today. Not that busy here in midwinter, of course. I'm looking for a couple of specific things that I don't think are that popular in my area. Perhaps you are too?

Perhaps we could pool our efforts, multiplying the events we can cover. We could exchange mobile numbers (privately of course). If I see something you are looking for, I can shoot you a pic of it, and you can tell me whether you want it. You can do the same for me.

1. I don't really know what I'm looking for until I see it.

If anyone collects specific items it sounds like a good idea.

2. funny, I was just thinking of this the other day

I was at a sale where a guy was taking pics and sending them to what must be clients. Maybe he's a decorator; maybe a picker with a client list.

If you want to PM me the list of what you are looking for, I'll keep an eye out for it.

3. What was really happening:

"baby, honeybun...can i buy this?"

"no"

"what about this?"

"no"

hey, my sweetest thing, what about this?"

"no"

etc.

(dont ask me how i know this)

4. Man at the sale last week

was doing just that. He said, "I'm on a mission from my wife."

This sale was the product of a hoarder, sadly. But she did have a lot of crystal. I mean a whole room full. The guy was picking up pieces and describing them to his wife on the phone.

5. Sounds great! Some thoughts

... I'm looking for vintage Superman items: Action figures, comics, magazines, drinking glasses, pictures, etc.

PM me and we can exchange numbers.

6. maybe people should do a wish list.

start a thread of what people generally collect.
