Hello, to fellow collectors here on Audiokarma who collect vintage TV sets-
I am wondering that I seem to notice a vast majority of our TVs tend to be found either on the East Coast which includes- New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, The New England area-which is the north-eastern US, the West Coast-California(a very common state to find vintage TVs in that area), and in pretty well all larger cities of over 100,000 people in these areas. As I have studied eBay, very few TVs tend to be found in the Mid Western Rural States and in most rural areas as I have observed.
I have noticed 1 collector on here who lives in a city with less than 40,000 people that he tends to find very little in vintage TVs.
I am wondering if any other collectors here notice this trend as well too-just curious. Usually, a lot of small, conservative towns will have almost nothing in the way of vintage TVs while the bigger, liberal cities tend to have a fair bit of the vintage TVs as well as several or a lot of good Antique Malls, Antique Stores, real Flea Markets that sell real stuff and not that cheap junk with lots of good vendors and even pretty good second-hand stores that tend to stay away from the yard sale junk and do good Estate Sales instead and won't rip you off money$$-wise either. Hopefully, this should be a good, basic guide to our valued members who collect and restore vintage TVs on where to find vintage TVs and yes, also saving that $$$money$$$ as well too when it comes to gas for the car/truck/van/SUV and always keep a good Road Atlas and plenty of Road Maps handy to keep a good handle on those vintage TV "hot-spots" as well. Well, happy hunting to the vintage TV collectors here and all the best in 2009
