Some interesting finds, some less so. If I were looking for a shop to consult with when selling some antique that had been gifted to me, I would not feel confident that this shop was going to deal with me in a candid way.

Lots of cool old stuff and very friendly

Sold some silver

I have spent a lot of money at this store on old mason jars.
I had a nice bunch together to see if they were interesting in purchasing them to resell in their store. I only wanted $5 a piece, even though they were $20 jars all day long.
They said that was too high for them and they were “common jars” even though they aren’t, they’re American and harder to find.

Well I have bought even more common jars from them then this and they were asking $20-$30 a piece! Yet they find buying them for $5 a piece “too expensive”?!

Buying, selling, trading, and paying a reasonable amount for things is part of the antiquing game, you can’t expect to get things almost free so you can make all the money on it.

Went here for the first time and found precisely the item I was looking for the moment I walked in the door. The price was also better for this particular item than I’ve seen at any other shops or online.

The owner was very friendly and helpful; he even recommended other competator’s shops in St. Thomas to me.
