  Thrift furniture/Estate Auctions? Sup RVA redditors! Here's a longshot question I am looking for a reputable place to find/buy used/antique Gothic revival style furniture. I have used Cannon Auctions in the West End before to purchase a few things and have seen a few places online; I'm into finding older furniture to refinish and use. Craigslist hasn't been very fruitful. Does anyone else do the same and can recommend where to find some treasure or where they've had good luck? Thanks!

  [Alexander's Antique Auctions.](http://alexandersantiques.com/) Every Thursday night. Biggest on the east coast. I go there for oriental rugs but they have a metric fuckton of furniture. It's where a lot of antique dealers in the mid-Atlantic go to stock their showrooms. It's always a good deal but sometimes if you stay til the end (like 3 am) you can get outrageous prices. Last year I got a $2,000 Tabriz for $150. I've seen a $5,000 silk runner go for $300, and solid mahogany antique kitchen tables go for $10.
