Stillwater Antique Center — Local services in Smithfield

If it were possible to give this place a zero rating I would have. I've been there a couple times and have never caused an issue. I have quietly shopped and bought a few things each time. Today I purchased three CDs and when I got in the car and opened one of them I found out the wrong CD was in the case. I couldn't have found this out before I purchased it because the vendor had a seal on the outside preventing people from opening them before purchase. I went back inside to request a refund and the owner was extremely rude, threw my money at me, and told me not to come back again. He insisted there is a no refund policy throughout the store. I told him that I understood that, but the product was wrong!. When the wrong CD is in the case, why would I want to keep it? You figure that with things having been closed down for a while he would be more polite and grateful for the business. Even if he hadn't told me not to come back, I wasn't planning on going back ever again. Even the first couple times I went there with my wife, he was very abrupt when asked simple questions about a product. I don't know what his problem is, but what whatever it is...

DONT EVER buy stuff from here possibly the worst customer service I have ever seen, one time I went in there to try and sell the owner a ww2 PRACTICE launcher round, and as soon as we showed him it he said something like “get out of my store anything that can kill me needs to leave my store” it was so rude and I wanted to punch the guy right in the face, and then I went back there a few months later to look for something to buy my sister for Christmas and I found this bar by doll she would like and when the guy opened the case to get it out he gave the doll to me so I could look at it, and then he ripped it out of my hands and walked it up to the counter and then the price tag said 30$ but it was accually 60$ he told my aunt and my aunt was telling the guy the price tag said 30$ and while this was happening the VERY CREEPY OWNER OF THE STORE was steering at us in this face that looked like he was gona kill someone, I will not go back to this place the owner and “some” employees are weirdos. And that owner is really creepy I would stay as far away from him as possible he needs to get a life! LONG STORY SHORT...

So I've been coming here for years. I've made many purchases for either gift or projects because the prices are generally pretty cheap. The owner/employee was extremely creepy today. I noticed his stalker like behavior the last time is was here and thought he was just being attentive. This was not the case. He followed me and my son around every booth. This was probably the most uncomfortable I've ever been in a store. My family and I ended up leaving without buying a thing. There is literally noting of value to steal from that isn't locked up so I don't know what his issue is. Overall, the "antiques" are either of mediocre to low quality old junk. This is not a place you will find anything you want to insure or take to auction. Many of the booths look as though they are about to fall over and haven't been straightened out in years. If you are looking for quality service, antiques or a generally pleasant Sunday shopping trip, I strongly urge you to go elsewhere. There are so many other places within 10 minutes that offer the same junk without being...
