THRIFT SHOPPING Bonanza: Scoring VINTAGE Bargains at Multiple ESTATE SALES!

Gloomy, cold weather can't deter us! Today, we're hitting three estate sales in the Chicago, Illinois suburbs, all near each other but far apart in the way they run, where the bargains are and what they have to offer.

Sale #1 is in a really new looking neighborhood, but that can belie elder collectors! This place has its collections, some fun looking Belleek, pretty Lladro geisha and rich 1960 Forest Green glass in time for the holidays...but where are the deals? A semi-pro estate outfit put the pretty things on the main floor and priced them aggressively, so we head to the basement past the retail-priced beer ad wall and look in the corners where the pricers didn't get. Sure enough, the called out prices on those items are the bargains we need to leave this one happy!

Sale #2 is a private sale, where the lady of the house is part of the crew...for better and for worse! As often happens at privately run sales, bargains are found where the "pretty things" stop, so we shop the basement (again) with success! We'd buy even more, but the lady of the house renigs on selling a few things she "meant to put away"...but we're good sports, it's just part of the landscape at privately held sales!

Sale #3 is a professionally run sale, so does that mean big prices? In this case, the more experienced sale organizer has priced things to benefit the client and still leave us resellers some room! A 1970s brass bar cart is my big score (if only I could fit the 1970s orange stools!), but we find bargains on everything from sick call crucifixes to a paint-by-number of the Savior from back in the day, and end up with a few bags full of goodies! Estate sales sure make it easy to find a wealth of vintage goods and collectibles fast.
