EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

....what we see in US? I remember one time in Paris, I had a chance to go to one of the huge antique markets where everything from furniture to buttons were seen, and stuff I saw were so interesting and different, nothing like our antique malls. Of course, the people I was with, indulged my shopping for only a couple of hours, as they weren't interested, so we had to go on. I could have spent a week in that spot. I don't think I bought anything. Things seemed very expensive, probably the retail end of "picking"! You would need to have inside contacts as Mike and Frank do, to really find the good buys.
