Trying to decide whether or not I want to fight the grippers, book guys and other unwashed masses early tomorrow morning at an estate sale. I always try to read between the lines in the ads to determine what kind of records might be there (African mask collection=good, Kimball organ=not so good)Below is a portion of the ad for tomorrow. Should I ride or sleep? ...Limoge fish set. Mottahedeh. Lenox. Royal Dalton large Tobys. Hummels. Collectible Christmas plates. Fitz & Floyd nativity. Lots Christmas. Cup & saucer collection. Original art including signed John Ruthven. Mid-Eastern cloisonne lamps. Guitar, Gibson & Vega Litte Wonder Banjos, Flute, Sax. Clothing including vintage. Jewelry. Full kitchen. Wheelchair & more. Linens. Vinyl LPs. Republican memorabilia. Needlework. Quilts. Comp dolls. Elephant & rooster collections. Sterling tea set...

    Dude, sleep.

    Hummels + Republican Memoribilia + Banjo = crappy Vinyl LPs

    just my gut talking.

    Sounds like a good estate sale, I would end up looking at the others items not just the vinyl, might see some good stereo equipment.

    Last 10 or so estate sales I went to were a total bust.

    But then there was the Hoctor, Orion, Statler sale I stumbled upon. Fun!

    At least your odds are better than they would be at a garage sale.

    Estate sales yield better results when they hit then garage sales, but are a bigger pain in the ass, with all the professional grippage going on.
