Antiques Etc. — Attraction in Denver

We stopped at Antiques Etc for a shopping visit on our vacation to Denver, one of the requirements given by my partner for her birthday visit after reading about their extensive inventory.

The location is convenient, with the shop right on Colfax Ave out of downtown. We stopped by after visiting downtown on out way back to the hotel, and were easily able to park out front in a 2-hour zone.

The vendor said the problem was my setup. Yea ok. They refused to refund or provide trade-in value, which is petty. If I bought at $10 I wouldn’t complain, but at $39, it should be verified to play prior to sale. I hope that the store manager will help me out.
