Tom & Abby Anton, Bradley Beach - Today we were looking for rowboats and guitars. We look for unusual furniture, collectible furniture. We’ve scored some really good tools, bicycles and musical instruments. Sometimes we keep it and use it. Sometimes we give it away as a unique gift.

Louis & Carl De Pazzo, Bradley Beach - Anything that’s collectible. We go out every weekend except when we’re fishing. Today we found a blown glass seashell and a music box made in England. Louise collects cookbooks. The nicest thing we found were old barber bottles. Louise bought a $3,000 grandfather clock for $75.00.

Burke & Joanne Ellmers w/Mugsy, Bradley Beach - Typically antique items. We’re looking to turn a profit. We like to buy low and sell high, like commodities. We love the Coaster. We get it at the Buttered Biscuit.

Joyce Gentile & Donna Bobertz, Pt. Pleasant - Joyce: I look for bargains, things that are nice, but cheaper then in the stores. Books. Sometime you can repurpose for crafts. Donna: I look for unusual things that you can’t find in the store. Unusual things, different. This time of year things for the yard, planters and such.

Ira James w/Elvis, Ocean - I look for my wife, first, because she drags me here and she does a lot of antiquing. And a happy wife is a happy life.

Tom & Sheila Stephen, Asbury Park -  We look for furniture. Tom primarily looks for video games. Nintendo games are getting harder to find. Good quality wooden furniture is so expensive in the stores these days. It’s cheaper and fun to buy at garage sales and make it your own.
