Since launching this site, a number of people have asked where I shop. Where don't I?!

I shop resale stores, antique shops, live auctions, Craigslist, barn sales, estate sales, online auctions, and Ebay. I shop these markets in the U.S. and overseas. 

I have the best luck at estate sales and live auctions, and the worst luck on Ebay, where I have been burned more than once. 

But today's post is about another favorite source -- college towns. You would be an idiot not to shop them.
