ARGH! just missed them
I just had to post this........ unfortunately timed event. I was talking to a co-worker and his in-laws had started to get rid of "stuff" they had collected as pickers. A bunch of vintage golf equipment was the talk of lunch so I asked if there happened to be any shaving equipment. Joe checked and they did have a bunch of straights and accessories but someone offered them $20 for everything and they took it. Major BUMMER! It might have been a great find. Hopefully someone from here beat me to them. I needed to share with some like minded souls. :(

What doesn't break you makes you more aggressive.

That has to suck really bad. I'm sure there might have been some good stuff there!

I've reserved myself to the thought of .....
someone bought all their junk stuff, couldn't have been anything I would have wanted anyway. Who am I kidding! BUT if it was meant to be, it would have happened. :gl:

Hey how are you guys finding out about the estate sales? I have only found a couple brokers in my area of California and I can't seem to stay on top of when they hold the sales. Is there a listing I should be lookign at? Or a City Hall area or something?

I haven't been searching much. There are a couple of stores that pick up the stuff that doesn't sell at the estate sales. Unfortunately they don't have enough space and it's a hit or miss if they will have shave items out. My last visit, they said they had a few SR's and other shave gear but they don't know when it will come out of their storage unit. They have several.......
Good luck in your search!

Haha yeah I need all the luck I can get at those antique stores. The ones in my area seem to find all the estate leftovers but each time I go there had been someone earlier that "took everything they had". I guess I've battling some veteran pickers in my area and did not even know it. :)
