"While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position" - Christopher Marlowe

Though I've picked up a couple of vintage items recently they've been of the "bought from a dealer who knew what they had and charged accordingly" variety. All well and good but it does make you wonder if you'll ever happen across an honest-to-goodness bargain ever again (a bit melodramatic but you know what I mean).

Then you find a Marni skirt...cashmere blend tweed...with leather outlining the over-sized pockets...for $32...and your faith is restored...
