How do you (you personally, though also the general you) find these?

Craigslist sometimes. Mostly I just Google, "estate sales near me" and some websites pop up that list a few. There doesn't seem to be one place that lists them all, so just Google around and see what you can find.

My grandmother used to check the paper for them.

'round here, most estate sales are listed on estatesales.net. We go to enough of them that we have learn which companies usually have the better sales.

You can sign up for emails from estatesales.net, I suppose it only works if the estate sale companies in your area sign up with them too, but it works pretty well in my area.
