Warning: I used to line up at 5 AM for estate sales, but now I show up at noon.
For years, I'd be in the cold dark with my coffee, thinking the good stuff was gone by 7 AM. That changed last fall after a sale in Bellingham where I got a perfect 1970s turntable for $40 at 12:30 PM, just because the morning crowd overlooked it. I realized the early rush is mostly for the obvious furniture and art, leaving smaller treasures behind. Now I skip the crowd, get a full night's sleep, and still find what I want. Has anyone else switched to a late arrival strategy and been surprised?
