My wife and I have frequented Antique-Up in the past and have brought both friends and family to the store as well. The booths are organized and there's just enough variation between booths to keep us moving throughout the entire store, although prices on everything in the store are on the high end and beyond.
Store should consider a couple of suggestions that we are certain will help their patons shopping experience. . . . Update the store check-out process to a computerized scanning system. Why not let the computer organize which booth owner gets which money instead of making patrons watch the check-out person fumble around endlessly entering each individual booth tag. Also, lets come to the realization that this is essentially a second hand store and haggling on the store's high prices should be welcomed/expected, not frowned upon.

It's got a lot of duplicate items. Literally you can walk around a booth that makes handmade shiplap signs and candles and turn around and the booth across the aisle has almost identical products. 2. Very overpriced. I get it. You make great shiplap signs Karen, but I'm not paying 65 bucks for a 12 inch sign that says something about family. For some of the other places you can go in central Wisconsin, this store has some of the highest markups. The Trading Post in rapids has similar items for waaaay cheaper. Not to mention some seriously good deals on large furniture (one of the things lacking at...
