Finders Keepers Resale & Marketplace — Attraction in Biloxi

The market itself has potential but, at this point, it found it to be very unorganized and slightly tedious. I had several items in mind as I looked throughout the market. It seemed every item I saw that fit what I was looking for, was rickety with a coat of "shabby chic" paint thrown on (most not well at all with hardware stuck to the paint, debris not cleaned off before painting...), screws or fasteners missing or not even tightened... If the piece was usable, it was way overpriced, not priced at all or, for the asking price was still missing hardware, screws, or had some obnoxious color of paint on it (lime green for instance) and was not ever applied well and, even if I loved the color, I would have had to repaint it because it was just put on there without any thought of doing it well. One vendor has an area that is completely "new" items such as cleaners, hair and jewelry accessories... that are the EXACT same products carried all the time at the Dollar Tree for $1. This vendors prices for the exact same items in the exact same size and condition started at $1.49 and up. I understand that any body can ask any price for what they want to sell but it drives away customers such as myself, and I have plenty of money to spend, when I see what I consider price gouging. I have been shopping these kind of places since I was 8 and I am now 52. I know a bit about what I am writing. In order to recommend this market, they would first have to become a bit more organized, and also have their vendors meet the criteria of price being commensurate with the item and it's quality, where the vendor can make a profit and the customer is not overpaying for items of similar quality that can be found all over for much lower prices. I realize this market is fairly new and I will visit again in a few months since it seems they were still working to get it together. I hope to find changes for the better upon my next visit and will adjust my review accordingly. My apologies to for this critical, unfavorable review to any of the hard working vendors at this marketplace that are being fair and reasonable with their product,s of which I did see some, but I am rating this marketplace as a whole and, in my opinion, the bulk of the marketplace is exactly as I have...

This review would be long and detailed, so, to get to the core, it's starts with the ownership/management. Lack compassion, zero taste and somewhat bullyish. Staff - there are a couple of nice staffers, but they will start running patrons out at 15 minutes before closing. Things like turning off the few lights in the place. There are also a couple of not so nice staffers - martyrs - they will also run you out early all the whie talking about how hard they partied the night before. Nothing can be expected to produce a wow factor until these components undergo serious repair or replacement for that matter. Do yourself a favor, Drive the 9 miles over the bridge into Ocean Springs to their Marketplace. You won't be disappointed. The key elements of being a bright and welcoming environment make it well worth it! For an added pleasure, stop and get a burger at Castaways. Great way to...

I liked it going in. Very clean and organized. I found a couple of items and saw a sign that said "we love offers". When I took the items to the counter, the man said he couldn't give me a discount on one item and the other only 10%. Of the $37 dollars the items were marked he could give me a $2 discount. Whoopee..I hate to break the news to them at Finders Keepers but they are selling a bunch of overpriced garage sale stuff and everyone wants a discount. It's used and not guaranteed to work and no returns accepted. As for as Finders Keepers goes well you can keep your finds, they're not...
