About Us
GSale Hunter – Curated Vintage, Mid-Century & Estate-Found Treasures
We grew up as true Mid-Century kids—perched on Gramma’s plastic-covered sofa, staring into towering China cabinets filled with “special occasion” wedding China, sparkling crystal, and carefully guarded collectibles. These pieces were crafted by skilled hands, treasured for generations, and admired far more often than they were used.
Today, that sense of wonder fuels our mission. Estate sales remind us daily that “you can’t take it with you,” and cherished collections often face an uncertain fate. Too many heirlooms end up in donation bins, curbside piles, or—worst of all—lost to the landfill. Our calling is simple: rescue quality vintage pieces and match them with new admirers who will appreciate their beauty, history, and craftsmanship.
Who We Are
We’re David and Catherine—GSale Hunters of Maryland, USA—and we run three top-rated, 100%-positive shops across eBay, Etsy, and this website. Our journey began in the 1970s, decorating a college apartment on a shoestring budget. What started as necessity grew into a lifelong passion for vintage design.
-
David grew up in a family of antique dealers, learning auctions, picking, and resale from the ground up.
-
Cat is a trained fine artist with a lifelong eye for design, trends, color, and craftsmanship.
As Mid-Century kids, Mod teens of the ’60s and ’70s, and frugal new parents of the ’80s, we’ve lived through every era we collect—and we know these styles not just from books, but from memory. We’re often saying, “We had one of these!”
What We Do
We source treasures from:
-
Estate sales
-
Flea markets
-
Garage sales
-
Local auctions
Our tastes differ, but our mission doesn’t:
curated, high-quality, timeless design from the 20th century ....and some New.
We’re not tied to one style—our shop includes everything from Mid-Century Modern glassware, retro barware, and Depression glass to hand-wrought tools, cottage-core décor, and hand-knotted lace. If it’s beautifully made and built to last, we’re interested.
At GSH, we are always on the hunt—dedicated to rescuing orphaned treasures and giving them a new life with YOU. And along the way, we share insider tips, mystery histories, and the stories that make these collectibles truly valuable. With over a decade on eBay and Etsy and here(!) we have 3 top-rated (100%) trusted 5-Star rated online stores. We're GSaleHunter worldwide and the Curious can go read our rave Reviews on eBay and Etsy.
Why have our own website and domain? Well we offer personal glimpses into our latest finds before they are posted for Sale in "Featured Items" , where we share behind-the-scenes finds before they hit our catalog. Dive into the historical research we uncover, too in-depth for listing descriptions, but fascinating for fellow collectors in our “Before and After” series, where we restore forgotten treasures to their former glory.
