<blockquote>anyone here ever get really lucky at an Estate Sale. i always see them around here but i get all flustered...<br /><br />do tons of people show up at these things?<br /><br />i know no one can say if its worth my time or not but i just wanted some thoughts from some of you </blockquote><br /><br />Everyone checks those ads and if they advertise any amount of records other than "records" there will usually be a few collectros waiting there when the sale begins. There are also the hardcore few who will show up a few days before and try to get the first look at what they have, or they'll be calling the house with a reverse white pages to see if it's worth their while. Or they know the people who run the estate sale company and saw the records already.<br /><br />All that aside, I've done ok at estate sales in the past but struck out completely this year. You really have to be there at the open or even beforehand. Also, if it's a big big sale with lots of good quality items (you'll know from the ad and the area) be prepared to wait on line outside while they only let in a few people at a time to prevent stealing.
