Some of my scores have been from antique dealers. They were all within my price range. There is one in Columbus, OH that I do not recommend. This one had a 17 inch RCA for 100 (twice what I will pay for an unrestored BW). The woman behind the counter (owner?) is very rude. I am just amazed at how clueless some of these vendors are. I have passed on some restorable sets because of vendor price gouging and general cluelessness.

I have not checked estate sales, since I won't pay the five dollars to look at the Disaptch online. Several of my co-workers are looking as they travel (as do I). Most of my scores have been curbside finds or those I bought at the ETF swapmeets.

The most recent curbside find I had was my Admiral color set. That was a case of good timing. I doubt I'll have that kind of luck again.
