Antique Mall

I'm not sure if this place changed ownership or what, but they used to readily accept offers or see if the owners would, but recently I noticed that their prices were way out of line. For example, there was a lemonade container priced at $35. Nothing really old or unusual about it and they wouldn't even phone in my offer of $15. I went to an outlet store the next day and they were selling 3 of them in a new box for $6. They had quite a few and I went and bought 9 of them. There were some big pieces of furniture, lots of items from the 50s that were available in other antique stores for half the price. I mentioned that some of the things they had marked Bauer were not, in fact, Bauer, but weeks later the items were still marked Bauer. I asked how much an item was and the owner didn't tag it and couldn't be reached. I gave them my phone number so they could call me with the price, but they lost it. PROS: There aren't too many antique stores, so it is worth a look. CONS: Someone always trails you in case you steal something. Annoying.
