There is a vintage store in my town where I browse from time to time, I shoot the shit with the owners as we share interests (especially leather), and he and his wife are patrons at the brewpub I work at. I try to make a purchase there once or twice a year to support his business, however, it's hard because I know what he's paid for most items at thrift stores, estate sales, etc. Fact is, they did the legwork and rented the space and so on, so I stifle my grumbling. I try to pass on the good deals I get from members here, like the lost worlds I got from @sweetfights , however, value is value and that item could have fetched more easily elsewhere or even here. In general the majority of my sales have been for less than I've paid, at times I feel like Jack and the Beanstalk!
