Use to hit one behind a consignment shop that thru out the over priced stuff that didn't sell.

Always looking at stuff set out on trash day. One time I saw two guys carrying a round oak table with carved lions feet and set it by the curb. Asked if they were tossing it out. They said yes and if I wanted it, they'd load it into the back of my truck. I was heading over to my friends antique store and parked in front of it. A couple came in and asked if it was for sale and I said yes. They gave me $250 and then loaded it in their van. I never touched it.
