Clearly looks at "listed" prices and not what things actually sell for on eBay. Sad to see dust covered items everywhere instead of things in loving homes. Horrible business. Edit: super weird of the store owner to break the law (yes changing the price AT THE REGISTER after agreeing to a price is AGAINST THE LAW) then reply snotty to this review instead of being grateful he wasn't reported. Shows exactly what kind of scummy business this is. Avoid at all costs. And saying it's priced for that area is HILARIOUS since everything in there is covered in dust- ya know not selling. Aka not priced to sell for ANY area

I remember coming to this antique store a long time ago before they took over the space that used…read moreto be the movie theater. I always found neat treasures here! I love the set up, the vibe and all the unique things each vendor offers. I haven't been in since the new space was taken over. Oh my, it's overwhelming! But a good overwhelming. More to look at, more to appreciate and more being able to enjoy the beauty in old treasures. I knew I was in for a treat! You really have to start in one corner and work your way down the aisle. You don't want to miss anything. I started off in the original space. I love looking at all the old books, pink depression glass and furniture. I made my way down to each vendor to see what kind of beautiful pieces they had. Each space is unique and different with their own spin to it. I was on the search for something specific and of course when you're looking for something that you really want, you don't ever find it. It took me a little over an hour to go through this joint. It didn't feel like an hour had passed but it did. I breezed through out really fast honestly. I wanted to make it home before my husband did. I had to get dinner started. But if I had the extra time, I would have slowed down looking at everything. This place has literally everything you can find if you're looking for something old and vintage. The furniture pieces are stunning. Teacups galore! Beautiful photos. You name it, it's here. I'm looking forward to coming back soon when I'm not on a time crunch. I know there's some fantastic treasures waiting to come home with me.

She said people steal so she stays right next to the item even when the customers would like some privacy to examine and discuss the item. Ridiculous. My husband and I are over 60 years old and couldn't run that fast even if we were thieves. It was a horribly uncomfortable shopping experience. Prices are crazy high too!

Yes. I have too many of them but I was in search of a particular one - Rogue One K-2SO Fall Convention from 2017. I was planning on getting on from eBay so that Alan Tudyk would autograph it when it comes to the Gem State Comic Con. Back to the 208. There were a couple of guys up front, it looks like there's vendor per carved out space offering all sorts of things ranging from silverware to those souvenir bells. The Funko Pops are the back and I have to give them credit - They are stocked and displayed per theme in an organized manner. Many of the carved out booth spaces were unattended so it was a little strange to walk into the space with no one around. We turned right at the back of the store and ended up near the computer section. I haven't seen a collection of Netbooks since those early 2000s. Command prompts, C drives, MS-DOS speak was happening in the background and all that was missing was the Leisure Suit Larry and Scuzzy Drive references. In the end, its a trip down memory lane, one person's trash is another's treasure and there's some interesting pieces here. Going back to the Funko Pop, they didn't have it. No worries, Alan Tudyk cancelled so. No harm no foul.

I finally made my way into the 208 Emporium the other day. I have seen ads for it all over social…read moremedia and was curious to where it was. I ran into out by chance when I was making my way to the Youth Ranch. It was my sign to go in! The set up is very similar to the antique shops off State and the other end of Overland. Lots of different vendors with different goodies and shop set ups. It's cool that you get to go to all these little store fronts in one location. The venue is big and bright which is nice! It's nice to have such bright lighting when you're looking at items with such detail and color. It's just nice to be in a bright venue in general. I guess you can't completely say it's all antiques here. There's collectables, thrift finds and jewelry. I didn't check out some of the vendors since there were a few selling trains, sports memorabilia, Funko Pops and other things that didn't really peek my interest but is cool that it's there for you as an option. It's an everything, one stop shop location for everyone's special interests! There were still a couple vendors putting their little shops together. Some were jammed pack full of things, some had a nice amount to look at and some were pretty scarce. But if you're a looker, you might find a fun treasure there! I was on a time crunch and checked out as much as I could. There was a lot to go through. I'm looking forward to this joint to be completed with all it's vendors and products. A portion of the venue was still empty and being worked on. The prices vary depending on the vendor. Some were reasonable and some were high, to be expected. Looking forward to coming back and seeing what new things they have. Some forget to bring a sipper! Sipping on your drink while looking for treasures is the best way to spend your afternoon and I can't wait to do it soon.

I found it to have great selection and very cohesive and I think you can probably find absolutely anything you want in this place. They also support a great cause so I'm definitely coming back here. Of course, the one thing that I needed it, I could not find which was a sewing machine. But they have a great selection of jewelry clothes, hiking equipment, biking equipment, furniture, kitchenware, and appliances. Definitely take some time going through everything.

Stopped into the downtown Idaho Youth Ranch after my doctor's appointment to see what kind of…read moretreasures they had. It's been a few years since I have shopped at this location. Excited to see what kind of fun things I can find. I appreciate how big this location is. All sorts of things you can find here. I did find a couple pieces that caught my eye. I hesitated on a few things cause of the prices they are charging. Just like the other Idaho Youth Ranches in town, you just shake your head at the prices things are priced at. When you're asking for 50 dollars for a vintage item that was donated to you, that screams nothing but greed to me. So much profit to be made off this item. Not one penny was spent to purchase the item to sell at your store but you feel that you're entitled to charge that much. Very sad. The staff was nice. The store was pretty organized. But, I'm just still in awwww at some of the things IYR has priced. The prices have really taken the fun out of finding gems. I would rather other thrift stores that don't price gauge their customers. Now I know why I haven't been here for so long.

This is actually inside the Avalon Antiques shop…read more The owner has a table where he inspects the records by hand for scratches and other flaws. He cleans up the records and puts them in a plastic record bag with pricing on the outside. Everything on the top of the table is guarenteed to play and are all the cleaned records. Everything is sorted by genre and are in alphabetical order making things easier to find. All of the bottom "bargain bins" are $2 or less and aren't inspected but of the few I've gotten from these bins work just fine. You could spend over an hour in here looking and still find something new. I highly recommend coming here and looking for old records.
