As an avid picker & lover of folk art & antiques I’m really disappointed in this place. My experience TWICE as been really depressing. This review is about the owner & the people that work there not the booths or inventory. I found an item that had a booth tag on it for $15. I brought it to the counter. I was told I could not buy it cause this was not the booth price this is what they bought it for. I understand.. but the way I was spoken to was Condescending and unapologetic. They didn’t ask me for my name or number to call me back about it I had to ask them. It’s about tone and attitude and this owner is unpleasant. As a dealer it’s extremely embarrassing that the tag for how much it was bought for was left on an item.. and you think you’d want to be very apologetic and accommodating... NOPE.. opposite... they never called me back so I called. The lady who answered didn’t know. She called me back and said minutes later ok they found the owner and price it’s marked $49. Where is the integrity in that? You have a customer who wanted to buy something and after your mistake of leaving the tag on it for what you bought it for you DONT call them after they tell you they would like to buy it and give you their name and phone number and mark it up almost 4X cost. I understand people need to make a profit. So I calmly started to say “ok ma’am what happened was is I went to buy the drawing and I saw the price they bought it for... so.....” and I was CUT OFF “WELL MAAM they can’t sell it for $15” what I was about to say when I was CUT OFF was “so can I put in an offer for $30-$35”... understandable considering all the trouble I’ve gone through and considering I’ve seen the price. But no she cut me off before I could say that so instead I said “I understand they aren’t going to sell it for $15 but morally and considering everything that’s happened and me seeing the price I would like too...” again CUT OFF “MAAM it’s marked 49.99” a second time cut off when I am trying to make an offer. I said “MAAM you have cut me off twice now” unapologetically she says “I have a line I don’t know what to tell you”. No integrity or modesty involved whatsoever in this “transaction” and I did purchase other items that day and my friend knows the owners family.... it’s pretty embarrassing for them. I don’t know if the booth owner was even told anything that happened but probably not. No hate on the booths here but the people running the counter & the “owner” are...
Read moreI love coming to the Goodlettsville Antique Mall whenever I am in town. From the outside, it doesn't look like it is going to be very fruitful. However, like with most antiques stores, the front of the store doesn't tell the whole story. The store looks kind of small, and the store front is filled with high-priced antiques. They are very nice to look at, but gives the store the wrong sense of identity. With that said, once you pass by the front of the store and the checkout area, you walk into a huge warehouse with several rows of individual "stores" of antiques. I really like this area because it is filled with a variety of different styles, goods, and even hand crafted items. Whenever you walk through, you just have a sense that you are going to find something good. While I gave it 3 stars, it is borderline 4. As I mentioned, the front of the store gives the wrong identity, and because parts of the warehouse are a bit of a mess. Some of the areas are just piled up with stuff, so much so that you can't even view whats in that area. It can be hot, although they do have fans, and it is dusty, so it messes with my allergies. Now, will this stop me from visiting? No. I will always pick through the Goodlettsville Antique Mall when...
Read moreIf you're looking for something unique & out of the ordinary this is a good place to start. The staff is really helpful. The place is absolutely packed with really old memoribilia, antiques, quirky items, newer items & everything in between. There are countless stalls to pour over to find 'the thing' or 'things' you have in mind. Great for gifts or decorating if you're looking for something one-of-a-kind you can't find in a traditional store. Not to mention a trip back in time on a lot of the things you thought you'd never see again! Excellent place to lose yourself in things most people thought were long gone & a nostalgic blast from the past no matter your age or shopping intent. Love this...
