mart - In your area they probably want you to give it to them !!
That may be true the way people that stop at my estate sale the last few years display attitude. Nobody is selling antiques going by how many "antique" and collectible stores around here have gone belly-up the last 4 years. There are a lot of empty shops where they once were. If dealers aren't selling, that means no one is buying, and the ones still trying to make a go of it don't offer much. The best offer I had on a set of caned-seat chairs was $5 (not each - for the set of 6).
