Midwest Pickers Antique Store — Local services in Omaha

Full of interesting stuff and best selection of pictures/frames I’ve come across so far! Very full but as clean as you could expect a huge garage full of old things to be. I’ve come in a bunch of times not really looking for anything specific, but it’s the kind of place that just feels worth the look every time even if I don’t go home with anything. So many other places I feel like I go and see all the same stuff, but you can definitely tell they’re always bringing in new things here!

For a while now I’ve been searching for a frame for map of Detroit (sorry Omaha, I’m still new here) that I wanted to hang on my wall- not a standard size so it’s been like a needle in a haystack to find something affordable. I found one very cheap somewhere else that was alllmost right, but I’d have to trim the map and wasn’t fully committed to that idea. I decided to try my luck here again today and if I didn’t find one, I would work with what I had. I ended up finding the holy grail! Exact size I needed, but more than I could spend. I almost cut my losses, but asked about it, and I’m so glad that I did. She ended up giving me a great deal and I’m SO happy I didn’t settle for the other, almost right one.

Moral of the story is, these people really seem to care about their store and the things in it- if something doesn’t have a price, or you love it but can’t quite do it, ask!!!! Some things seem pricey for sure, but I absolutely think they’re more than fair. Honestly this place is all around great, I don’t even hesitate to out this hidden gem because I know that even if y’all start swarming it I’ll still sneak in and find exactly what I was or was not...

Today I went to Midwest Pickers to look around to see What they had. I have collected for over 40 years and I am looking to sale my collection of high quality antiques. I talked to April about buying some of my things I was told to send her some pictures of my things I felt like things were going well. When I was getting ready to leave she said I have something you mite like, They were 10 different silver dollars dating from 1779-1923. I was told that some older man had just sold them to here. When I was in her store I saw many places were she has coins so I bought them. She also had me look at a old sports pendant signed by some player.As I didn't know much about it I declined. I would also like to say she did say she did not know much about the coins. Here is were it goes BAD they were FAKE !!! I live 50 miles from her store and called her to let her know. Her response was I told you I didn't know much about them . I would like to ad I feel that a shop that sales antiques and collectibles should know !! I did not realize she did not give me a receipt and I used cash to pay. She did not offer to buy them back . I do play apart in this for trusting that she knew what she was selling or maybe she did !!! I will never go back there and if I was you I would make sure if I bought something of value to check it out very thorough. Not my kind of place 0 rating !!! I also would like to ad a coin that is fake by law should have copy...

We had a few issues and April threatened with a recorder, her lawyer and to have cops involved. When we started business it was through messaging and ended up calling me with the issues i addressed and said they dont do business that was it was unprofessional. She passed things like she didnt want them. Adventually she changed her mind. She made piles and i didnt agree to somethings. Meanwhile her husband was in another room loading stuff into the truck. When we left they came back and picked from the yard. She threatened me as well if posted this. Yes this happened last week but now there is nothing i can do because of funding. She was rude and saying i was from the south and she didnt care i how i had to take care of my son, and i couldnt get round and that i should have sales myself. then expected me to feel for her shop bills and told me to come work for her a few days and see what it was like. To go ahead and try.She challenged me. Brought up her years of experience and said i didnt know as much even if i looked it up. Very condescending. later saying the stuff was mostly worthless and had to throw it away. Which i got pictures to prove otherwise. Told me to come get my stuff that id have to pay and then some and told me she didnt work for me. then threatens me to call the cops if i came. Later she text me about my son. And posted stuff i didnt agree for...
