Moorhead Antique Mall — Local services in Moorhead

Have come here off and on for several years but I've never been very impressed. Lots of repurposed stuff, t-shirts, soap, half of it is more like a quaint country gift shop, the other half is a decent selection of just about everything but almost literally everything is priced not to sell, at least not quickly. If you are standing at the front door to the left is the front desk, to the left of that is a cabinet with baseball cards with one in the back holding World War 1 & 2 military artifacts, be very careful with those military artifacts, there are some real items but there are definitely some fakes and some convincing ones at that, and the vendor selling them cannot be contacted, BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK, I weep for the person that sometime this year got ousted $700 on that fake World War II German Helmet. The older gentleman at the front desk was especially unhelpful and annoyed at my very mention of fake...

I have shopped here several times and found it ok. The hours/days open are not great and some of the vendor spaces are very over crowded. After my experience today, I will NEVER set foot in here again! I asked to have a case opened in order for my husband to look at an item as soon as he was done in the bathroom. The man came, opened the case and proceeded to block me in the vendor space - I understand the need for security, but this was overkill! The entrance to the space was smallish and he made absolutely sure he filled it. He didn't speak with me, but continued to hold me hostage. It took several minutes for my husband to get there. I could not watch for him, flag him down or anything. My cell phone battery was nearly dead, but I frantically tried to get a text to my husband as I was now on the verge of a panic attack. I am not claustrophobic, but I don't like being trapped by a man nearly twice my size....

I’m not originally from here, moved here almost 3 years ago, and was always curious about this antique mall. A few days ago, I decided to go with my boyfriend. The staff was extremely rude, and followed us around the entire store. During our time in the store, they seemed to only follow US around. Respectful to everyone else except us. Every section we went to, there was a staff member right behind. I understand being cautious, but I certainly don’t like being profiled. I’m not a thief, and I understand you have to keep your shop safe, but it was so unbelievably unnecessary. I’m not going to go off on some tangent and straight up claim racism, as I am a mixed woman, and my boyfriend is mixed as well. But something doesn’t seem right about the way we were being treated that day. Decent items, but I don’t think I will ever be back again. Sad to say, but I refuse to be...
