I hear all of the time about glove guys sort of giving up on their local flea markets, antique stores since eBay has become the dominant source of purchases. In many collectible areas, I follow the same story line though.
It's dried up in the past 5-7 years. This was a complaint at our local glove meeting last weekend.
For me it was an enjoyment of getting out and getting hands on, and seeing many other items from our past. Antique malls are closing down. Wonder if this is the general consensus on the glove forum? Your input?
