My first estates were gifted to me in a Secret Santa. I have looked and watched but I seem to have high dollar taste because everything I like seems to go for hundreds of dollars. I do see guys finding diamonds in the rough though at great prices. These new ones were local and it took some negotiating and a couple weeks of persistence and it was well worth it. I check garage sales, estate sales, Craigslist, and EBay. Plus we have some local antique stores that have some often. Just keep looking and eventually you will find the right deal. Be patient and don't get discouraged. Took me over a year to find these that I wanted.
