BTDT, never found a real "find" in those places. Most of it is cherry
picked around here and now Good Will has stores for the "better"
quality merchandise.

I know. Back when the military was on the SF Presidio, there was a
second hand shop where I found some great buys. Mainly knick knacky
things, no kitchenware that I drooled over. Way back in the day
before used furniture stores decided to call themselves "antique
shops", I found many pieces of furniture at a good price.
