ESTATE SALE FEEDING FRENZY

I frequent Estate Sales. Yep. I dig through dead people's stuff for profit. So recently I've been going early, like an hour before opening. However there are a lot of "hardcores" out there who get there as early as 4 in the morning (mostly 50 something paunchy dudes with ponytails). Well when the doors open you can be sure all hell breaks loose and what was once a quiet suburban driveway soon turns into the Fall of Saigon.

People got impatient at the opening and rushed the old lady guarding the garage. After about a half hour waiting to get in I cut my losses and left. I recommend showing up 1-2 hours AFTER opening. Maybe the hardcores will beat you to the Fabregé eggs, but there will still be plenty of stuff for you to pick through without the hassle.
