Forever Antiques — Local services in Leadington

They have a sort of sour attitude about antiques in my opinion. Understandably, it's a business and how they support their families. And i can only assume its been difficult dealing with both sides of the negotiation process. That doesnt really make things better though. We sold them some items. Nothing over the top. Just junk we've acquired over the last 4 years from various jobs. Still, some of it was really good. All of it had value. After explaining we had no knowledge of what fair market value was and that we just wanted what would be fair to all parties. They redused to disclose any sort of market prices that would be average in their shop, forced me to throw a number out, countered with half without even looking at all the pieces of the pie. Said he had to be there and that he was going to throw half of it away which is a lie. We kept the pieces because it seemed wrong to throw those parts of history away.

So I can't have my prescription medication on me, what if I have a heart attack and you can't get your purse? What is a shooter comes in. I have to let the guy defend me that makes you lock away your purse so he can top theft? I'm suppose to count on you, when you don't even trust your customers? A true American store that only cares about making themselve more money...

My wife and I love this store. We drive down from STL City just to go here. Always has some of the coolest, most unique antiques. You can tell the work they put into their business by what they have in stock. You won't find anything like this in the big city. Regarding the purse policy, my wife and I found that every antique store in Farmington has a policy that prohibits you from bringing in your purse. Have not seen this in other areas, but it's a small price to pay for being able to find cool stuff! If you value history and craftsmanship, you will love this store. They often explain on the tags what everything is, so it's worth a visit just for a...
