Treasure Hunting

Where can I find curios, vintage and antique items?

-Your family may have items passed on to them from previous generations.  Begin asking around at your next family function.


-Flea markets; a.k.a. pulgas, are hot spots for random finds.  If you find individuals selling personal items, they are where you need to stop first.


-Goodwill stores will have donated items for resale.  They may be overpriced but they replenish shelves frequently so visit often. You never know what you will find.


-Estate sales advertise various items that can be interesting and of high value.  You'll have be the early bird to beat the crowd though.

​

-Rummaging through yard sales may land you a surprising treasure.  Check your local paper to determine what is being sold.  This will minimize your drive unless you don't mind the scattered sales.

​

-Auctions are few and far between but you can look online for locations and dates. 


-Local police auctions sell off confiscated items to the highest bidder.  The items aren't always vintage but they are affordable.
