It began at noon and we arrived about 25 minutes in. It was EXTREMELY busy. We looked around and about 20 minutes later we went to check out. My friend was going to lend me the cash for my purchase and our total was $36. It took the cashier a while to determine that the four items totaled $36. He was sniffling a lot so he may have had a cold. My friend took out her $100 bill and handed it to the gentleman he gave her change back for a $50. My friend had shown me that very same bill when I asked if she had cash because I'd forgotten to get some on the way there. Nevertheless, he insisted that she was mistaken. The other person that was at the table next to the gentleman looked in what I can assume was a cash box under the table I cannot be sure but she said well what's this. The gentlemen again insisted that he placed the bill that he'd been given right on top. And my friend again said she gave him a hundred dollar bill. This went on and the other person at the table had by now gotten up and started calling the person in charge. She must've seen him coming back because she came back to the table and once again looked in the cash drawer and asked, 'What's this here?' The gentlemen asked 'what' and she said 'this on the side here.' According to her it was a hundred dollar bill at the bottom of the pile and another hundred on the side. When the person in charge came up he went straight to the gentlemen bypassing me, my friend and the woman on the other side of the table and asked what was goin on. Now the gentlemen started saying they're accusing us of taking money from them to which the person in charge replied well we aren't gonna steal from anybody. Then my friend stated that she knows she gave him a hundred. He then stated we wouldn't even take a $100 bill. As I stated earlier we'd been going to these sales for a few years, and they ALWAYS took the hundred. When she asked if they would count up the till at the end of the day and found it to be over would they give her a call and give her the missing $50. The response was, 'you know you're not satisfied with us then we're not satisfied with you!' We felt bullied and intimidated and the person in charge told the gentleman to give her her money back, (ONLY $50 was returned) He continued, 'You can leave and don't ever come back!' Never thought I'd be traumatized at an estate sale but this left me with some trauma for sure.

I saw a couple pieces in here I am still thinking about a week later. On the other hand, I was jumped on by a dog in this shop. I am all for animals at work, but my fiance is not well versed in medium to bigger dogs, so being jumped on a couple times was something he was a bit unprepared for. The seller did yell at the dog, but only after a couple times. I think maybe she and I just weren't lining up on what I was looking for. I know I was looking for something kind of off beat and non traditional, but I feel like she was a bit annoyed when she took me to the engagement rings only to be told I was looking at non diamond rings. Like I said, it could have been in my mind, but it made me feel like maybe she didn't get my vision and I should try somewhere else.

I have had the privilege to deal with Angela Smith on several of my homes over the past few years…read more I have always found her to be friendly, professional, fair, and to be exactly what I want in an appraiser....unbiased. Dealing in real estate, I know it has become the next "Get rich quick" scheme to trash appraisers and call them racist when the value doesn't hit what someone wants, but anyone who has dealt with as many appraisers as I have in the past 20 years, knows a good appraiser within minutes of meeting them. Angela has proven to me many times, that she is fair and expertly qualified. Anyone should feel grateful to have such a professional when dealing in real estate.

Well kept secrets are sometimes much too well kept. This place is one of them…read more This is a store for professional jewelers. We're talking about the real deal here. The things they sell are helpful to more than professional jewelers. My father, for example, is a botanist who studies mosses. He buys all of his hand lenses here (and then proceeds to wear them around his neck and continually get asked why he's wearing a whistle.) I like them for their beading cord and tool quality. This is the kind of place that is trying to keep itself a secret. THERE IS NO SIGN. Let me repeat that. THIS STORE DOES NOT HAVE A SIGN. They also keep their door locked a lot of the time, so you knock and look somewhat respectable and they let you in. (The store is located right next to the plasma donation place, and they apparently get some interesting characters in.) If you're an artist or a beader or a botanist/entomologist/etc. I highly suggest dropping in sometime. It will be worth your while.

I called them because it said here in a previous review that they do watch repair. It turns out they don't actually do watch repair, they only sell the parts. When I asked if they could recommend a repair person she asked who I was. When I told her my name she told me to just go to my local jeweler...which I'm pretty sure I could have figured out on my own, except I didn't want to do that. Well she refused to tell me of any local shops that work on watches. This must be the only business in Columbus that has more business than they know what to do with--as they sure don't seem very welcoming to new potential business.
