Heading up to the cabin this weekend...I've never been good at obtaining these super deals on old tools from flea markets, garage sales etc. I've avoided auctions as I'm impatient and probably would be restless waiting for the bidding to turn to the tools ....Never been to a flea market (although couple of my friends have recommended)....Haven't also had good luck on the few antique stores I see on my way North.
Any general tips you guys could give me..I hear these reports of buying these great vintage tools (often w/pics here on SMC) but I personally, have not done well....
What channels/places should I emphasize? any general tips for a novice buyer like me? are there websites that provide direction for local hunts?
Thank you..Its always nice when each journey has a second purpose...In pursuit of seasoned rust,
Jerry
