On the reality show, “American Pickers” a team of collectors literally drive across the country to meet other collectors and “pick” from those collections. They have a business that sells all types of antiques so this is a great way for them to stock up on inventory. However, there is nothing stopping you from doing the exact same thing. All across Texas, there are folks who have spent a live time collecting stuff and, in many cases, they’re eager to get rid of it for a price. Here’s where you can find great antiques.
Small Towns
Despite the friendly nature of the residents, Fort Worth isn’t a small town. But there are plenty of these kinds of towns stretching across the state. At any one of these towns, you’re sure to find a thrift shop or some other store selling antiques. You might even stumble upon one of those local collectors. Just stop in the diner and ask the waitress. She’ll know what’s going on.
Craigslist
Craigslist has become a terrific source for selling everything from comic books to cars. It is worth scanning through the list not only for the Dallas/Fort Worth area but also the surrounding communities that you could drive to. Most people on Craigslist are running a business. They’re just eager to get rid of something. As long as you have the cash and the truck, you can probably make a deal.
Yard Sales
To be an effective yard sale shopper, it means getting up early to make the rounds. The day before you will probably find out where the yard sales are taking place on Craigslist (again!). Map out your routes. If you’re looking for bigger pieces, then you’ll know rights away whether a sale is worth stopping in. Of course, it doesn’t take long to go through any yard full of stuff.
Scoring an antique is always fun but it means having room for it back in your house. This is where Junk King Fort Worth can help. They’ll send over their own big truck and moving crew to help you get rid of all kinds of unwanted stuff that have lost their value. You can always count on Junk King Fort Worth to help make room in your home for more prized antiques.
