We're freestyling today, visiting one of our favorite areas to shop estate sales! The old road into Independence, Missouri (next to Kansas City) is littered with estate sale signs...will we ever get to the one we saw online that led us here?
Our first stop is filled with lessons for us, where a new house proves to be filled with old things and prices are all over the board. There's beautiful antique furniture, an amazing art glass epergne and sets of dinnerware people still collect...but can we afford it? We show how to find bargains in a sale where they're pushing prices (incuding a good buy on a Raymor ceramic piece), and give some useful tips for people having estate sales to avoid the pitfalls we see at this one.
Our next stop is the place we saw online...no, wait! There's a garage sale that looks huge right over there. This is where the real bargains are, we spend $3 for about $30 worth of sweet Gay Fad fruit kitchenware and a Hollywood Regency dresser mirror, then head towards our destination!
Antiques feature in the ads for this little house, but where are they? We miss out on the non-furniture vintage in this place, but we make up for it with a signed starfish pin for only $2. Better still, we spy a sign up the road for a half-off church sale, where we find better deals on more vintage than at the estate sales!
One last house remains to see, a fine Victorian owned by an illustrious native son with a funny middle name. Do you know what it is? We solve the mystery and smile at our fun shopping day. (Oh, and the antique mall we stumbled across? That will be in our next video!)
