You have landed on Flashy Trash, a catalog of random objects curated by myself, Bobby. You'll find an ever changing array of antique and vintage home goods and unusual object d'art to brighten your spaces as well as antique photography and craft supplies and one of a kind kits using vintage materials.
I flipped my first antique in the 1970s when I was 14 yeas old, it was an Art Deco Mohair Sofa I got at a garage sale and talked my older brother into helping me haul to a nearby antique store. (after he saw how much I got for it, he demanded a bigger cut) Along the way I've had a shop called Jett Clothing in Uptown Minneapolis in the 1980s and then I continued to buy and sell wholesale as a side hustle as well as hold famous garage sales that turned into invitation only events. Quite a few of my online customers have been buying from me for over three decades.
I shy away from the title of "antique dealer" but think of myself as a personal shopper, I shop for thousands of clients -many I have yet to meet. I wait in line at estate sales, scope out all the little thrift shops and scour the internet so you don't have to. I am paid to source, clean, appraise and display the wondrous things we all seek.
Many of you have met me at various pop-up shops, like the Minneapolis vintage Market, and recently at the Bunside pop up and the Price Fixe shows at the Black Forest Event Center.
