I mention this theory because nothing gives me that good mental flow like hunting around others' junk.

No, I haven't read it, but now you have piqued my curiosity and I'll check that out. Thank you.
I have been a "hunter" for many years and it eventually lead to managing a HUGE Salvation Army Hub Store where I learned the business. Then I took that knowledge and opened a Thrift Store (501c3) to generate funds to run Programs for persons living with HIV/AIDS. This was all back in the 90's and I moved on to other adventures. But, I am still dedicated to the whole concept of recycle/reuse/re-purpose and offer low-cost items while generating funds for charities. win/win/win
Flea markets can make my heart flutter. I'll be in California the next two weeks and be checking out the local offerings.
Thanks for starting the thread.
