Weil's Doghouse Antiques — Attraction in Salisbury

(Initial review 8/17/2020 date of visit ) While the items do seem older and unusual the prices are made by people who must be insane, everything is extremely overpriced. You can find everything on eBay for much less . I would come here just to find something unique and then search it up an eBay and purchase it . Definitely save yourself the trip and go to a normal flea market . The biggest issue on the weekdays is that the booths are empty of their owners and there's no way to negotiate the pricing . I gave 3 stars

(Edited after recieving Response 8/18/2020 )

I do have to say after recieving a reply from the owner with an explanation as to why there was no flea market pricing, I decided to reevaluate my review from 3 to 4 stars . I was mistaken in thinking that i was going to a flea market when it was an Antique place during the week and the flea market is on the weekends . The prices for antiques are ofcourse very different then a flea market anywhere you go . So if you're looking for antiques this is probably the biggest place I've ever seen and has the most amount of items available. I do still believe that certain booths have items that are priced like antiques when they're not antiques but just items from 10 years ago. but this isn't a general issue with this place it's an issue with some of the individual booths.

Recommendations

I still believes that the prices can be lower , and there should be clear signs to which booths are willing to negotiate the prices especially when the owners are not at the booths .

Another thing that I would recommend is that you look around at all booths to see if they have sale signs on their items some up to 50% off signs . Those signs weren't very visible unless you looked for them . So i recommend making a list at the front of which booths have sales going on . This will give the booth owners who have sales more visitors reasons to drop prices.

Lastly I also would like to thank the individuals who did respod to my review. People like you who respond back to people and their issues are the ones that I love to give my business too and a second chance at support . I have changed my mind and will be revisiting this place . I have changed my rating to 4 Stars and hope to update my review even more so once i visit the...

This is such a special place, I live in Lititz Pennsylvania, The owner, Todd, and Clerk were all so personable, a lot of times you go to an antique center and people can be so non-personable, and this place has a cast of characters you’ll love, the prices are The best I’ve seen anywhere, the quality is solid, it’s not like another tired yard sale, it’s not loaded with somebody’s bad ideas of shabby-chic painted furniture, it’s all full, corner to corner of really quality antiques and enough of a selection to have “something for everyone” I Live near Adamstown, “The Antiques Capital of the World” and out of 7 miles of quality antique malls and stores, you’d be hard-pressed to find one as nice as this, This is such a top notch experience for any antiquer, collector, or picker that’s waiting to happen, it’s so funny, because from the outside you wouldn’t expect what you get on the inside, but I think that’s just another thing I loved about and look forward to returning back to about this place, It’s so exceptional in every way, worthy of your time, and hard earned money, take my advice Make sure you visit soon, Loved Loved Loved it!!!! I will be telling everyone I know about this place, because it really should be a destination on the map of anyone who Loves antiques and collectibles! Also, as Mid century modern furniture, and Pottery / Roseville / Haegar collectors, You’ve got the Best Selection and Fairest Prices around, I hope to get back but even if I only ever get to visit Here once, I’ve had such an Incredible memory of a place I just absolutely Loved and the kindest...

May 2021 Terrible shopping experience. They had an oldies radio station just BLASTING throughout the whole mall. Complete with the blaring commericals - what an unpleasant experience, being forced to listen to super loud commericals while trying to enjoy browsing antiques. It's 2021 and I have the technology to listen to my choice of music if I want to. You don't need to force me to listen to your music at ear splitting volumes. And when you turn the music down then not so gradually turn it back up, it comes off poorly and not like you are employees of a business that ( in theory) wants to please the customers. That was really a shame because it is a pretty interesting place with a big variety. There are other antique malls with a a much more pleasant atmosphere. It is worth driving a few more min. to save my hearing. I wrote this review almost immediately after returning home from this Very distinctive shopping mall - the antique mall with all the clocks, the mall that I specifically chose to visit so I don't think that I was "confused" about where I was. And the radio station calls itself "classic rock" but a lot of the music could be called oldies. Again, piped in radio commercials aren't needed /welcome.. Review sites are for honest feedback on customer experiences. I was being honest, and I had hoped that the owner would value that input. Again, very cool stuff but poor customer service...
