Old Town Buda Antique Mall — Attraction in Buda

They always have new stuff.

I visited Buda this weekend to see the eclipse in Totality. On Saturday, I enjoyed going to see the Buda 143rd birthday celebration. After listening to some live music at the booths area, a couple of beers at the Meridian, smoking a cigar outside a cigar shop, (try a Fat Bottom Betty). I sat on a bench in front of Old Town Buda Antique Mall. As I sat there enjoying the passerby’s, I heard a woman tell her friend, “they always have new stuff as they passed the storefront. This caught my ear, and as I sat there waiting for my ride. I decided to write a note of what passerby’s would say about this antique store as they walked to the music area. I spent about an hour to pass some time. I’m sharing those below:

I love this store, this where I got Mom her present. (A young girl telling her dad) as they walked by.

Oh, they’ve changed the window. Let’s take a look. (A young couple who went in.

Let’s see if we can see my doll. I think that’s it? Can we go in just 5 minutes to see if it’s here. (A hippie type and her mate)

Look, this is the stores you love! Let’s go in. (Two senior ladies and their husbands)

Check out the Simpson’s shirt! (The store had at shirt of Bart and Lisa Simson in an X-ray style, very unique)

Ooooh, I like the music. (Three men walking towards downtown.) they went in.

Is this the place we came to? Yeah. We didn’t see the top floor. Ok, let’s go. (A young lady asking her husband.).

I went in, saw lots of great stuff, enjoyed good prices and looked at a map with push pins from places visitors were from. Lots of pins from El Paso, where I visited from, but very surprised to see so many visitors from all over the US have stopped in. Even more surprised to see so many foreigners from many countries. We will stop in again next time we travel through.

My ride arrived. Great time in Buda and enjoyed the downtown...

Absolutely poor customer service by the gentleman (whom I can only guess owns the place). I had a shirt in my hands for a little while and then set it down when I realized that it wouldn't fit (with other shirts mind you). He very aggressively asked where the shirt was, I felt as though he was accusing me of taking it. Apparently, I had put it with the "wrong vendor." Nonetheless, feeling completely uncomfortable and no longer will to dive in the jewelry I looked forward to potentially buying, I hurried out the door. Be ware of.this man's attitude, if you should choose to venture in.

Buda is very charming. This...

We put 6 Steve Hanks pictures on consignment for a few months. We called to notify we'd be picking them up and a man said one was broken by a vendor, picture ripped, they threw it away and he didn't make the vendor pay because she was new. Their policy is "you break you buy" tho. We left with 4 framed prints because he said one had sold which he hadn't stated before. It's my opinion that if you want to place anything on consignment with this place be prepared to have your property damaged, thrown and no payment for replacement. I think the place and it's owner, Robert, are...
