there are thrifters who sell on Insta...their photos are typically of excellent quality. I’ve found a handful of sellers that I follow who hunt for things I’m looking for (handmade brooms, studio pottery). Every transaction I’ve made over the years has been seamless. Once you purchase one thing, the algorithm will filter similar items to you. I now have thrifters who see vintage brooms and send links to me! It’s really fun.
