How many members find sets while on vacation and bring them home? How about buying the set(s) first and then going on vacation to pick them up?

I did both! Arranged to buy these two Spartons, and found the Golden Bear. Drove to Vancouver Island and back!

We are heading to Paris and London this spring. I'm hoping I can find at least 1 radio that I can safely bring home with me.
