Here are some recommendations for places to shop. Antique Stores Probably the most expensive way to shop, unless you get out of control at an auction. Don't be afraid to offer a lower price, especially if the item has been in the store for some time. Don't count on it. Bargain hard at the end of the day.
Some dealers use auctions to set or confirm prices at their stores.
Dealers will bid up an item, hoping some rube will overbid in the excitement. If they don't get their price, the item goes back to the shop. Farm auctions dispose of property on location. Usually you will find a lot of farm implements at these. Anyway this is a fun way to see the country and buy your milk can, pitchfork, or wagon wheel.
