Mt Carmel Shop — Local services in Mill Valley

I've been coming to this store since I was 10 years old and always found cool knick knacks for a good price. I've been on the hunt for a few new film cameras and figured they would possibly have some here. I went in and asked if they had any film cameras and the volunteer working there showed me to a back room with a pile of old cameras. I sorted through them and found a few I was willing to buy without testing in hopes that they even worked. I assumed they would be cheap, as I've never spent much on anything at Mt. Carmel. I picked a few at random that had buzzwords such as Zeiss lens, which I know are quality lenses. When I go to check out, the volunteer working there lets me know that the woman that prices is not in and to leave my name on a shred of paper with my phone number. I do so and leave, without hearing a word for a few days. I then followed up a few days later as I was only in town for a bit. I am told I'll have someone follow up with me soon. The volunteer that originally showed me the cameras then calls me up and tells me he looked up the value of the cameras I chose (which happens to be worth hundreds of dollars, which was not to my knowledge). The volunteer plays a cat and mouse game of calling me for days on end (sometimes early in the morning) and texting me without giving me a solid price on the cameras I originally was interested in. He was looking for a few hundred for these cameras which were not tested, and had no way of being tested. It felt super unprofessional on the volunteers part. I felt excited and got my hopes up that I found a great camera to take on my adventures at a decent price, as I recently have gotten back into photography. I am bummed that it ended up like this, and I hope he makes the money he was hoping to from someone on the internet instead of someone thats been going to Mt....

Not a great a experience today I usually come to this store every weekend and I seen a bag of toys and I seen that there were some little figures that I wanted and I asked the price for it (there was a price on it) but I couldn’t understand what the price was saying so I asked the man and it seemed like it said 3 pieces for 50 cents and the man that I asked went to go ask the lady in the back about the price and she put $25 which is a bit too much and I asked if I could only have the little figures that were in the bag and it was a set but some of the things that were in the bag weren’t part of the set so I asked if I can have the little figures individually but they refused and the man rudely wouldn’t let me speak he kept saying no no no the set is expensive but I didn’t want the set I wanted the figures that weren’t part of the set. I was very upset because I only wanted the...
