A lot of people will scour thrift stores for vintage stuff, though. I have a friend who'd pay top dollar for real 70s clothing in good condition.

Vintage clothing/costume stores in San Francisco would, too. That was a real opportunity lost.
Estate sale organizers keep the numbers of book, clothing, art, etc. dealers on speed dial for a reason.

That. My jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw nuts2uiam's statements. Stuff of that era was generally higher-quality than the throwaway Chinese crap of today anyways. Plus there are these things nowadays called "hipsters" that easily go for that stuff to remain in conformity with their bearded cell phone-packing, Papst-swilling peers, so you're throwing away BIG profit there. Huge mistake.
Oh well, it's just money.
