Gems Galore for the Price of Pebbles

Comments (0) By Travis Newbill Thursday, Sep 1 2011

The main difference between a gem at a yard sale and a gem at a vintage boutique is the price tag. Yard-sale stuff is pretrash stuff for the taking, where-as “vintage” stuff is pretrash stuff that has been recognized as a gem by an expert. The extra cash paid to the vintage boutique is really a convenience tax — someone has done the searching for you. You still get the glory moment of scoring a nice piece in the boutique, but it’s just not quite as rewarding as finding the gem at a yard sale for dirt cheap.
