Picture 10/24: Big John

October 24

(picture 297 of 365)

We visited a couple flea markets up in Joliet today.

This was by far the better of the 2:

Yes, Big John was there.

Nice guy.

Loves to chat with his customers.

And loves to sell stuff, as his prices were reasonable and negotiable.

From chatting with him, I learned that he gets most of his stuff by buying whole estates.

Goes in and makes an offer for all contents of a house.

Then brings all that stuff to his shop.

He said he does 12-15 houses a year.  And that's on top of his regular job.

Big John had one of the best license plates that I've seen in awhile:

No doubt he loves what he does.

When we're back in the area, we'll definitely stop again.

Out for now........
