That would be telling. ;)
But seriously, specific locations don't do much good unless you know what
general area you're dealing with. (I can offer some advice for San
Francisco, but I rarely leave the City, and when I do, I'm generally more
interested in finding a) miniature land rovers, b) donald duck stuff, c)
good food, d) good beer (not necessarily in that order.))
For San Francisco, though, the places I go are:
HMR - interesting stuff, fascinating place, but know what stuff is worth.
Thriftcenter (in Belmont?) - on El Camino, just south of Morrison's, the
teacher store (Holly exit? off 101?) (This is the place I go when rachel
says "I need more sentence strips; I'll only be 10 minutes." I know I've
got an hour, and she's spend more than I will.)
Nifty-Thrifty - Across from the cow palace. Lots of refurbed PC's, older
PC cases, occassionally some good stuff. (Passed up a bunch of Osborne 1's
for $10 each, just before I started collecting. <kick> <kick> <kick>)
All the surplus places in the Valley -- Weird Stuff, Haltek, Halted,
Action, etc.
That's about it, except the little thrift shop by my house that never has
anything.
