Boulevard Mercantile — Local services in Spokane

I'm torn! I love the selection but the prices and limited hours push it lower on my list. I'm not opposed to higher prices for a unique vintage or artisan item at all. But what irks me is the bartering, I never know what many items prices are whenever I go here and it seems tacky that I may get a different price than others because of the weird bartering that some vendors markup for and expect, while other vendors may be offended at the suggestion of. Like, what price is it??? And why do some people get quoted differently?? Also, the hours deter regular visits. With that being said, I really do think this is one of the better curated shops in the city, and would still recommend everyone visit it once. But there are other places in town with just as good of a selection, that don't markup their prices and have more...

So over priced. Three of the same shirts back to back, same rack and all priced differently. I pulled a small painting a woman wanted $45 for it. Then told me I could do 10% off, then when I told her it was too much, she said $30 is too much? I said I can do $30, but you have it listed here and told $45. She told me $45 then, caught herself trying to up charge. A cup I wanted, $16 that is chipped. I see things from Global, they will buy and just add $20 on top of what they bought it for. I get it’s a “nicer” thrift store, but you have better luck going on Facebook Market or another thrift store. Their prices are outrageous, I feel bad for the people...

Nothing makes me happier than a place with excellent customer service. I called to see if they had a candle that I was looking for. While on the phone we were cut off. The gentleman called me back. I know right!!! After calling me back he went to the candles and proceeded to tell me every scent they had. My daughters and I jumped in the car and headed to the store. Both of the people there were extremely friendly and helpful. I left feeling well taken care of and I know I will definitely be going there again to support this...
