How do you find sets in your area?

My roundie came from Mark and Craters and Freighters brought it here untouched.
The most of one kind are the VT-71 Motorolas. I have seven of them. I got them when the Motorola distributor closed up and sold them to me.

When I'm able, I look for estate sales in Uptown, certain older parts of Metairie, River Ridge and the Aurora Gardens section of Algiers. Basically middle to upper-middle class sections that didn't flood. I've only scored one set from an estate sale though, the '72 hybrid Chromacolor. And it had an Evansville, Ind. address carved on the back - I guess that's where it originated.
