I don't have any to share, myself. I really only check here, one other kid related forum and a few news sites that are too boring to mention!

Facebook, pinterest, this site, a vintage travel trailer forum, ebay, a local and online auction site, a hiking and camping forum for my favorite area and the college website I am taking some online classes at. I also do much of my shopping online and often check different retail sites and some gem sellers to see the latest listings. Sounds like I spend all my time on the computer when you list it like that :oops:

Reddit. It's very...illuminating. Sometimes in a very bad way, other times not so much. :read:

The jewellery threads on TPF - especially Cartier and VCA. The majority of posters seem to have different priorities than the collective PS populace - branding generally trumps all else - but there are some collectors who have been learning about their favourite houses for years and years and there's an incredible wealth of knowledge there.

I do think PSers can be needlessly disdainful of branding and it's refreshing to read about different lines and pieces from the perspective of people who know about and appreciate their histories.

Also Meetup for upcoming events for the groups I belong to.

The purse forum!
I don't think I can link it, but if you google "the purse forum" it'll be the first URL ::)

Same, I appreciate the knowledge they have for that. I pretty much spend all my TPF time in that section. We do have some crossover between here and there.

Besides there I spend time on a few other luxury sites, and a lot of tech sites. And I read a ton of "lifestyle blogs."

For me it all depends on the piece. What MOST people are looking for here though is engagement rings and I feel like the engagement rings are overpriced enough at most big brands without being unique enough to make them worth it. But most non-basic things and wedding bands at big brands, I am totally fine with. And actively want.

I've never been to TPF except when I was finding it through authenticating-luxury-pieces things, but maybe I should pop over. I'm just not all that into purses so the name makes me feel like I wouldn't like it, lol.

I lurk a bit at TPF just to read the jewelry and watch threads. Daily I'm on here, Pinterest, many of the PS vendors, FB, Houzz, realtor.com, Kiplingers, Forbes. Nordstrom & Zappos for shopping. And my banking every day.

Reddit, the usual gem sites, and I am newly into City-Data, as we are considering a move. I go on TPF when I need a dose of completely out of my budget ever eye candy.

Also hit the Drudge report unless I'm tired of being depressed so early in the morning, lol. PS vendors. Royal Jewels forum. Frequent stops at Sothebys & Christies to see what's up. A couple of vintage-house blogs because I love old houses. And I love this site for its varied info on all sorts of interesting subjects: http://godsandfoolishgrandeur.blogspot.com/

I go to CNN at work to catch up on world events. I find that I don't usually go to specific sites and much as I search specific themes. What I mean is lately I've been really into rose cut diamonds, so I google rose cut diamonds and look at related images/read articles. I do the same for furniture, vacations, etc. So I'm more into browsing themes than specific sites. Hope that makes some sense :whistle:
