Lexington Park Antiques — Local services in Asheville

I have been going here for years, never had a problem, I have enjoyed talking to the owners and buying intetisting trinkets from them.

yet it seems that means nothing to them, considering I came in today and was treated with contempt and condescending by one of the new employees, I was attempting to do a trade on an item and was told they didn't do trades, okay fair enough but she took a tone with me when she said it and laughed in my face, when I asked why I couldn't trade for items in the store she accused me of wanting to do shady buisness and said I wouldn't comprehended how the store does things, and I'm looking at her holding my tounge as I rent two booths in other stores in Asheville and have gone to this store and done trading before.

me and my friend walked around abit and we decided to leave, I went to the front counter to get the stuff I had left there, I said in these exact words "I want everyone to know i don't have a problem with anyone here, and I was going to spend some money here like I always do even if I couldn't get the trade, but the tone you took with me makes me not want to come back" at which point she argues with me like I'm a child, insisting I'm just upset I didn't get my way, in said argument every ounce of respect I had for this place was thrown into the furnace, I have never felt more insulted in an antique store before, especially one I was a regular at for years.

there is no issue with the two owners of the store, the man the beard and the woman with white hair, I will always have respect for them. but this younger woman with the grading laugh is the one to watch out for, she will insult you with no patience what so ever.

I still can't believe I was...

I just really want to give a shout out to a place I've been going to since I was a kid. I love the variety, interesting, and hard to find things here. The ladies and gentlemen that work there always polite and friendly and helpful. It may be a little bit Dusty and the ceiling might be having some issues falling in but it's an old building full of amazing things. Since the booths are rented prices can be kind of all over the place but you can actually sometimes find a real deal or something worth the money cuz it's rare. The view from the building of Lexington is also quite awesome. For years I've enjoyed going into this business and I hope they continue to be there as Asheville changes to rapidly and in a way that a lot of locals are sad about. So if you're visiting or you're from here I highly suggest checking this place out. And know that I've had two very real ghost experiences in this building. One was just last week and the other one was when I was 27. But that's another whole different story to tell. Honestly I try to go in here every time I visit downtown these days which is more and more rare. I used to live right down the...

I visited this store approximately 2 years ago, and I am still traumatized by it. Never in my life have I been so vehemently opposed to a place. Not only was the store filled with racist caricatures and unsettling trinkets, but there was also a life-sized painting of a naked woman’s corpse posed against a wall covered in her blood. Fully naked, by the way. I spent the entirety of my time in this store in crippling fear. I am not at all a superstitious or spiritual person, but there is a presence in this store that is unexplainable, indescribable, and angry. I still regularly have nightmares about being stuck in there, and again, I haven’t been there in TWO YEARS. If you don’t want to have to watch your back for the rest of your life, avoid this place at all costs. I am not joking, this place truly traumatized me and my loved ones. They also didn’t have any cute rings and they are...
