Yes, I do.
In the 90's I did a lot of antique-shopping. Today, it's pretty rare but I still enjoy it when I do.

Love them! You can find some cool stuff there, and it's fun to rummage for treasure!

Whenever I see one I usually stop and investigate. I take my time and examine everything that I can.

I can just go in my closet for that. No need to go rooting around in someone else's old shit.

Me too! You have to see beyond the junk and envision something done with it. Here's a table I bought a few months ago in an antique store, and how it looked when I bought it for $30:
And here's the same table after I got done repainting it to put at my Grandmother's place, next to her bed:
Bargain hunting at it's finest, and all the paint was stuff I already had at my house from prior projects. The roses are actually scraps of wallpaper, which I cut out the flowers from, pasted them on and painted over them to have a template to follow.
