While I enjoy very much my thrift shop visits to look for classic and vintage finds I steadily develop an eye for beautiful and valuable artefacts. Therefor, I again and again see precious things. So far so good. What follows is not always pleasant. Now different scenarios can occur. In the best case I discover something in the midst of plenty of things, I want it I can afford it and then I buy it. If the price is justified. In the less good case I see it I want it and then I hesitate. Should I buy it or should I not buy it? Do I need this something really? Or should I abandon once again? It is the question of questions. Do I really have to have everything I would like to have? And while I bothered with this important existential question the worst case occurred.
Someone grabs the newly discovered treasure away from me. But it gets worse! Shortly thereafter, I find “my” treasure in a very costly shop where they try to make money with goods from the thrift stores. Now you can call it probably business acumen. But this shop is located just one block from the thrift store. And every time I pass this shop I have to have a look what I’ve missed in theory. I think I need a new route. Following the motto “what you don’t see wont hurt you”.
