Limit this to pieces you've acquired in the past year or two. It'd be too much to ask some of you old timers to think back 30 years! Just curious where the bulk of purchases are happening nowadays.
For me, it's about 70% flea market finds and 30% antique shops. I spend entirely too much time drooling on ebay, but I have vowed to only buy local to keep from "cheapening" the hunt. I also enjoy the restoration part of the process the most, so I'd rather get a deal on a cruddy old piece than pay market value for something already cleaned and seasoned.
How about you?
