As with most people here, I'm sure, the 'finds' I'm involved with, involve other people finding and offering them to me at market prices. It's the middleman that's killing me.

On a more practical level, none of my close elderly relatives have attics. At least attics with anything more valuable than punch bowls, folding chairs and christmas tree lights. And, as all of my elderly relatives live in Minnesota, one needs polar fleece underwear and a St. Bernard to send time in the attacks and backyard cellars this season. As the closest thing I have to a St. Bernard is Henry, I won't be making any attic excursions until at least May or until someone moves to Florida.
