Just reading this had me so stressed out! I’ve actually never been the first at an estate because the competition makes me too anxious. I show up later, or on day 2 or 3, and almost always still find gems.
Also, the DREAMS! I have soo many picking dreams, oftentimes I’m picking the haul of a lifetime only to wake up with the distinct memories of pieces that don’t exist! Tragic.
That's great you can still find gems! My area must be extra competitive because if you aren't there when it opens, for clothes specifically, there isn't really a reason to go - even if its the same day! I honestly just go into estate sales blind after this incident because my nervous system can't handle the pressure anymore.
I have the same picking dreams! Always finding the most mind blowing stuff only to wake up and realize that I dreamt it all!
