The mecca of online antiquing.

Nothing can replace the sheer thrill of getting up early, grabbing a latte, stuffing your bag with cash, checks, tape measure, camera and iphone (to email pix of course) and rushing to be the 1st to get the "good stuff" at any flea market, brocante, marche aux puce, swap meet, tag sale, rummage sale, garage sale, or estate sale. BUT, if you are sick, are not in Europe, have exhausted the Rose Bowl, or hate your neighbors stuff, 1stdibs is the end all in online antiquing. Obsessively so, I have literally spent hours on 1stdibs finding things I did not even know existed or needed with a passion.
