I've collected various stuffs for going on 40 years. I've dealt with people at flea markets, stores, thru specialty newspaper publications, newspaper want ads, garage sales, estate sales, antique stores, auctions, friends who show up at my door with boxes of stuff they heard I might be interested in...I could go on and on.

I've met a lot of interesting and different people thru my hobbies, and had a lot of fun dialogues.

One thing I learned is to not be judgmental, and to take people as they are.

My lists are all of stuff to keep an eye out for.
