My parents live up in New England that has a hardware store that’s been around for at least 70 years. While they constantly bring in new inventory, they never throw any unsold inventory away (or deeply discount to get it out the door)

Their basement is a treasure trove/candy store of “obsolete” hardware. My parents needed something old fixed in their house that required a really obscure part. Dad went up and they had a box of just the right part sitting in a box covered by a couple decades worth of dust.

Increasingly I’m liking Half Price Books. Ok, it’s a big chain, and I always check the local/independent used bookstores first, but I’ve found some really neat stuff that a B&N would never carry.
