Mill Street Marketplace — Local services in Wethersfield

I visit every couple of weeks to see if there’s anything interesting. Their products don’t seem to move very well so I’m surprised the dealers don’t do price reductions after a while. Most of the fixtures in the front room have been there a long while. I noticed a dealer selling “vintage” clothes, a DVF plaid button up shirt with a rip in the sleeve that was a few inches.. $45. If you’re going to resell clothes at least mend them. I admit I have a strong bias against clothing resellers but at least have some pride in what you’re offering. Paying $45 for a shirt to then have to repair it? Should’ve left it at Goodwill for someone else to buy it at a reasonable price so they get a quality item. I would recommend Quality Consignment in Colchester, Antiques on the Farmington in Collinsville, or Collinsville Antiques in New Hartford (largest antique vendors in CT). There they are very welcoming and friendly, greeting you enthusiastically when you walk in, thanking you for thinking of them and taking the time to visit. If you aren’t friendly/gracious to your customers why would they recommend you? They know their business depends on recommendations and people taking the time to go out and see them. Not saying the people running this place aren’t friendly but in business you have to ham it up a bit to help people feel welcome. I’ve had friends purchase things and there isn’t even conversation while checking out, no asking about the items. Felt like I was in a European grocery store or a gas station. These other markets are priced better and offer cash discounts (10% is common) and a lot of the times they have individual booth sales. If anything this place would be alright for New Yorkers visiting town but if you’re a local, please look into the other markets I mentioned. I would’ve given 1 star but I’m in...

I couldn’t say anything better about this store. It was like being a kid in a candy store. The staff is so kind and helpful. There are SO many amazing things to see here you won’t want to leave! I can’t tell you the number of people in the store with smiles on their faces saying “OMG!! this is amazing!!!” while shopping too. Such a friendly environment, I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. I saw an unbelievable post about this store being racist and I was dumbfounded! I am middle eastern and Hispanic and I have never once been treated with anything but absolute respect at this store. It makes me so sad to see the hate people can spread by making comments that can do so much damage. LOVE THIS PLACE, one of...
