Stay away! Terrible customer relations, and pricier than other like businesses.

Bobby is the absolute best! in all of the east coast area I can't think of a better antique shop…read moreselection or better owner. Every time I go in he greats me with a warm welcome and even remembered my face after being away at college for a couple years. I can really tell how much he cares about his beautiful shop and his shoppers- he makes every visit so special for me and my girlfriend. To anyone discouraged by his policy on not allowing larger handbags I think you have to consider how much inventory goes missing and how hard that must be for the shop. He even offers a small paper bag for any belonging you'd like to keep on hand during your browsing. As a former worker at the Village Silver Smith, I saw how much was stolen by all age groups so don't feel singled out if he asks you to leave your bag in your car or at the front desk.

I stumbled upon Salt Marsh Antiques as I was in town picking something up from FB Marketplace and…read moresaw the sign as I drove by. I decided to stop in on my way home and boy am I glad that I did!! What a gem of a shop. 3 floors representing many different dealers with a wide selection of inventory. Prices vary greatly (as they should) but Bobby (the owner) was willing and wanting to make deals with friendly customers. Bobby and his team were incredibly sweet and very lovely to talk to. Bobby mentioned that they just re-opened for the season this past week. Everyone who worked there was pleasant and helpful. You can tell that Bobby has been in the business for a long time and that he has a great deal of knowledge that he wants to pass along to others. It was obvious to me that Bobby cares about the business and that he wants to do what he can to help get younger generations interested in and excited about antiques. I unfortunately had a time restraint due to my work schedule the day of my visit so I had to set an alarm to remind myself when I had to leave by. Needless to say, I snoozed my alarm 3 times . Ladies leave your handbags in the car or be willing to lock them in one of the available lockers at the front of the store. They (understandably) have a handbag policy to help prevent theft across the store. That said, I heard Bobby thank numerous customers for being understanding of the policy. Just be aware of the policy before you go and don't take it personally as it's a store policy and it applies to everyone. Sadly, I'm sure it was put into place for a reason. Be respectful and understanding and that will go a long way with the employees. There are SO many treasures to discover at this shop so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to look around. It is definitely worth making a trip to Rowley to visit this shop. Be sure to check hours ahead of times as they are not open 7 days a week. Rowley is over an hour away from me but I will DEFINITELY be back and will be telling others to make the trek as well.

I've reviewed Cape Ann Auctions - how many times? Each review has been 5***** stars all the way…read more Today's visit to pick up items I won was another hit! I'll be honest that I kind of miss actually being at their auctions... but due to the pandemic ALL are held online. It's really no different other than you won't have the same experience of excitement with the normal bidding process we are used to. Nor will you actually see the participants... which can be a good thing? LOL Hey, we can't have it all during these times.. COVID has changed things. When you " win" you receive an invoice & your online account is charged. The pick up process is tiered in catagories. You click on yours & select the time in - I believe 10 minute increments... And that's it. Really simple.... Oh yeah: you show up at your time slot. You then sign that you are receiving your item(s). There are always friendly & awesome people there to assist if you need help getting anything out to your vehicle. And that's basically it! Today, like all other visits I picked up my "winnings " which I consider to be some great finds!

Everything! Walt and Robin and daughter do a fantastic job and are cordial as well as helpful. Lots…read moreof quality items are offered as Walt has a keen eye.
