In my area, I think the Thrift stores have gotten smart and just post the machines online instead of setting them out on the floor. I've looked at vintage machines for the last ten years or so, and I used to see a fair number in the beginning, now not so much. Occasionally I'll see a real dog in a beat up cabinet and I've never seen six of them together all whispering "Look at me! Take me home!" That's a cute BL you got.
