The Coop Antiques — Local services in Oviedo

Great place for records, CDs, cassettes and diecast cars of all shapes and sizes, the staff are awesome, I love shopping here

Well, I love this place, but I had to lower my rating after my most recent trip, while looking at the coop/Larry record display by the front left corner, I sat down to look at the 78rpm records at ground level, and got a thumbtack in my leg (granted i saw the thumbtack after almost getting stuck with it that day, moved it, meaning to throw it away, forgot to pick it up, then came back to finish looking at the 78s and it was only then when i got it in my leg) and when I went to the dealer that had tons of CDs, cassettes, VHSs, and records with that shaggy carpet, I went to sit down to look at records at the ground level, and got poked by what appeared to be a peice of copper wire, which is likely still stuck in the carpet as I couldn't get it out, I will return, I just would reccomend patrons be careful when sitting or wearing...

I have shopped at this antique mall numerous times throughout the past couple of years. The last time I visited was Wednesday Nov.27th this year. I always enjoy looking at all the vendors booths and there is a lot to see. I am however disappointed with the checkout process. There were 2 employees at the counter to checkout. I had to make 2 transactions and the tax was not added to one so we had to pay extra to cover taxes after my charge card was used. One employee seemed to be in training, but the other was just downright rude. I questioned the price of an item I had them hold for me and was treated like a second class citizen. It is sad because I have purchased many great items here over the years but I should not have been treated in that way. I would suggest to buyers that you do not put your items up on the counter for them to take the tags off and wrap up before you checkout. Hold onto your items and then pay for them...

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Coop for the first time today and meeting one of the vendors Maxine! What drew me into her booth was a stunning Tiffany lamp with dragonfly detailing and the most beautiful base of a venusian goddess 😍 I’ve truly never seen anything quite like it. Maxine was so so sweet and knowledgeable and after telling me how long the lamp had been in store for, coupled with my immediate visceral reaction to seeing it, I knew it would be coming home with me. I picked up another lamp from a separate vendors stall and they wrapped everything up for me so nicely and even helped carry it out to my car. I’m in love with my new treasures, I’m still in disbelief at such an incredible find. Maxine, thank you for your time today, this lamp will be treasured for the rest of my life and I’m glad I got to meet you. Definitely check this place out if you haven’t already, a true...
