My collection has been built through yard sales (best buy was that initial lot of glasses for $1 each), flea markets (best buy has been a McDonald's Sam Eagle manager's glass for two bucks), auctions (best buy has been Space Mouse for $2), eBay (best buy has been advertising point of purchase displays) and private sales (best buy has been a collection of prototypes and artwork for a lot of cash).
I've been collecting for close to fifteen years now. My collection is probably in the neighborhood of 2500 glasses or so. I continue to hunt for new glasses to add to my collection. Although at some point I am going to have to thin the herd a bit. Right now it is hard to find out in the wild any glasses that I don't have. But that doesn't stop me from looking. What it has done is lead me to look for other things while I'm hunting glasses. This year I made a goal to find a complete set of loose Star Wars figures with all of the little accessories that go along. I will pick up banks, old toys, clocks, and anything I can sell to give me money to buy more glasses (or other stuff at this point).
