This place is an experience. The best way I can describe that place is āOnes manās trash is another manās treasureā. I was in there for well over an hour discovering new things with my family. Iāve also heard that the place is a āwaste of timeā which I strongly disagree. Going in there with a genuine curiosity and a handful of people with the same amount of brain cells makes the experience much more enjoyable. I sat and laughed at the doll linked in this review for like 10 minutes.
Iād also like to combat the main criticism of the 1 star reviews from a standpoint of a collector myself. The main criticism of this store is things are overpriced. While to an extent I agree, from a standpoint of a retro games collector, seeing some smug looking m&m plushies priced at $10 doesnāt surprise me. Those are collectible items and have gained value over their initial retail value. Some items however I do believe are overpriced. I found some plastic skeleton hands that didnāt go to anything, was priced at $6/$7 when at max they should be priced a $1.50. I had bought a Nintendo Zapper from there and they even doubled check the price on eBay to make sure that the price was actually $15 and not $45 because of the price tag being a bit illegible. I think thatās where the misunderstanding of the prices come from. Itās the lack of knowledge that these items are being sold at what sites like eBay are valuing them. If you can find them for cheaper elsewhere then get it from there, donāt argue with the lady who...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI'm surprised reading these reviews about pricing. I visited on Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised at the prices. I guess some people expect to get everything at basement bargain prices and sometimes you'll get lucky, but having that be your expectation is unrealistic.
My wife and I are fans of antique stores and we've visited them from Eastern Washington all the way down through Idaho and Utah from Cache Valley to Washington County. This one was both of our favorite antique stores we've ever visited. It is the perfect blend of having so much stuff that you can spend lots of time exploring, but it's organized enough that you can get your bearings.
As far as the prices, I found them to be reasonable and the woman running the store even discounted every item we brought to the counter without us even asking or haggling. When I visit antique stores, sometimes I find the owner wants to follow me around and boast about their selection and whatnot, so it was refreshing to come here and be able to get lost in my own thoughts and searching without being hassled constantly by the employees. I guess everyone has their own expectations but you can't please everyone. We will definitely be back and can't wait to see what...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreOne of the cashiers was incredibly kind and friendly whereas the other wasā¦the complete opposite. Yes, there is a ton of stuff in here but itās all so stacked on top of each other that you canāt really get to anything. I just wanted a nice vintage pie dish and had to dig through piles of them to get to one on the bottom. Everything is just wedged wherever it can fit. Also, itās all way overpriced. The rolling pins were ALL 10 dollars(and were generously used). I could get a new one for that price. I ended up going to another thrift store and got a rolling pin in similar condition to the ones available here for 50 cents. A very nice family also came in with their young son asking if they had any baseball equipment and the unpleasant cashier spoke to them in a judgmental tone/kept them waiting. She also spoke to the nice cashier rudely. If you donāt mind taking the chance of associating with unkind staff or digging through overpriced items, you may be able to find something worth purchasing. The justification for the 3 stars is that I was able to find a couple of useful items at a...
