Wasted half a day of our vacation driving to this out of the way place where you would think you’d find a great deal. Nope, same junk as everywhere else and same prices. Totally not worth making a special trip for.

This is actually a thanks to the poster who let me know about the crazy record prices...saved me a trip! I will be on vacation in that area soon and was excited to see an article about this place having tons of vinyl. I've bought records for a lifetime and its disheartening to find records with an unrealistic price. Some sellers would rather have thousands of records sitting there gathering dust for YEARS...than to price them to sell. I literally have been to places years apart and see basically the same records for the same crazy prices...no extra charge for the accumulated dust and mold...:) No thanks.

We had fun!! Very fair prices compared to what we see at home in SC and NC. Really quirky and eclectic selection! I don't much care for ritzy antiques, I love the strange and unusual and there was plenty of that here. Really enjoyed this experience and I am a very experienced vintage, thrift and antique shopper. My husband found fantasy books from his favorite author no longer in print.

Fun stop if you’re driving by. The first floor is antiques, and the top two are used books. The antique part is by booth, so the prices and quality vary widely. We ended up buying almost nothing, but it was fun to explore.

Pretty much yes.

Do you buy excellent condition paperbacks? Mostly true crime. If so, how much do you pay? I have probably 75-100 I would like to sell. Thank you!

They're usually open all year. They have many different vendors, and tons of stuff, so it's quite possible they have those. I would expect to find them in the glass display cases, if they have any.

Hi I pass by on numerous occasions. It seems I'm always in a hurry and never stop in. But will someday. I am looking for an old farm table with a drawer and straight legs. Dark wood, maybe cherry? Size? About 2' 6" to 3' x 3' 6" to 4' 633-4737
