Brad, thanks for throwing out a date. Sadly, because I work I can’t get together on a Friday. On a related note the River Road Unitarian church in Bethesda is having its annual sale next Saturday. If you have never been it’s a great sale! Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi, I am in DC and would join in if it is a weekend day. I really don’t have anyone to talk to about my ebaying who really knows what it’s all about so it would be great fun for me.
My favorite activity is driving alleys for finds. I don’t really go into the trash cans so much as grab things I see in plain view, left by the trash or peeking out of the can. I have different alley “routes.” One by a local college where both students and professors live has produced everything from a US Military grade bio hazard mask and an authentic campaign poster of Mandela running for President in South Africa. Another route of affluent townhouses produces electronics, toys and games, clothing and knick knacks – once even a vintage gold watch. Of course these kind of treasures are eureka finds and happen maybe once every few months.
I can only go driving the alleys on the weekends. Wonder what I miss during the week.
