| - I have to give this store 2-stars because it just wasn't that good. It WAS however, better than the Antique Trove directly next door, but just about half the booths in the store were empty! It was hard to tell if they had just moved into the building or if they were going out of business. A lot of the booths had discounts going, which is always nice, but if the stuff isn't any good then who cares how much you discount it? There was a weird variety of things in this store. From cameras to taxidermy to lowrider bicycles and old a/v equipment. Some seemed like antiques, some didn't, and some just seemed like garbage.
I wish I could just do a Yelp review of 1 employee in particular. If I could, Liz would get 5-stars! While we browsed around the store my wife and I came across a couple small original cowboy drawings that we thought were pretty cool but at $84 each we had walk on by. We live in San Diego and I thought about those drawings the whole way home and decided I wanted to get one after all, so I called the store the next day to see if there was any chance one of the employees could call the seller and see if they'd accept a lower offer on a drawing. Liz is the employee that answered the phone and she could have easily told me "no" and charged me full price, BUT she mentioned that the seller already had a 50% off sale in their booth and they probably wouldn't go any lower than that. 50% off?? How did I miss that when I was there?? Anyway, that was all I needed to hear. Liz went and hunted down the drawings I wanted and was able to ring me up over the phone so they'd be paid for and my brother who lives near the store can pick them up for me.
So, 2-stars for the store.....5-stars for Liz and her help and honesty :)
