Ebert's Antiques — Local services in Town of Manitowoc Rapids

I came over an hour to the area for antiquing and discovered this place. The lady there was very nice. There was also an older gentleman behind the register. I wandered through finding most things higher in price. I found a clear glass candy tray and went to check out. The older gentleman was there to ring me up. I asked about the price and he was fair with negotiating.....until I pulled out my debit card. He expected me to pay an extra $3 for a swipe fee. This was not a policy posted anywhere so I said I didn't think it was fair to pay more than the original price. So he took my item and said it wasn't for sale anymore. What a waste of time.

I had a wonderful time there today. I purchased a jar full of jewelry for $39 and I found rare coins dated back in 1820 and 1923 dimes.

Oh and a wedding band with diamonds around both bands. I had a wonderful time digging through jar it was digging for treasures. Besides my happiness with my findings today, the old Gentleman that helped me today was absolutely very polite. Thank you so much for helping me today. Best believe I’ll be coming back to dig for more treasures....
