I prefer used undergarments. You can really get a good bargin on them. One time I got a free pair just because of a small stain. Who would of thought.

I am the delusional tresure hunter since what I look for are mostly super collictible items

1-Working, colour Algol Brionvega TV (at the MOMA)
2-Working, oyster blue or mint Ericofon
3-Pre 1950s vintage clothing in my size (I only collected two or three so far... just to let you know how hard it is)
4-Vintage any format black and white film
5-and I know it is not a Dozen but I am too depressed to publish more
