 How do you find out about Estate Sales?
Considering that all of my ebay searches begin with the phrase "vintage" "mid-century" or "antique" i figure the next logical step is buying stuff from dead people.
I gave up on most thrift stores and still find some flea market scores now and then, but i think the real treasures must be hiding out at estate sales. How do you find out about them?

Thanks. I also signed up to be notified of those in my area on some web service. We'll see how that goes. not sure if I'll get a ton or none.

i agree with chris.
local newspapers are the best. don't know if you guys get those pennysaver papers in the mail there but those might work too.

The best way is to kill old rich people and then hang out around their houses.

Yeah but that's not very efficient. I would search out people who buys from estate sales and kill them. Saves all that footwork
