An amazingly large antique and 2nd hand store with many independent shops. We stopped to do so quick shopping and ended up staying over an hour until closing time. They have almost anything you might look for at an antique store or estate sale. Many decorative rugs, books, furniture, lots of media. Just an amazing place to shop. Some of the shops have new products like watches and clothing, but it is a great adventure to just wander through the tight maze of places. Look for sales, and take pictures of the offers to take to the register. You will turn your head or turn a corner and see many eye catching items. Pricing varies from bargains to overpriced, depending on the booth. Great place to explore. read more

Consignment Classics - Interior Antique Mall - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is a JOKE! I had two items on consignment. They sold both items rather quickly. We recieved one check for the lower priced item and was told they will send the check for the other item the following month. That time has come and gone. I've called multiple times only to get the runaround. I tried calling to talk to the person in charge only to be told "no". Araceli was the last person I talked to. Very rude and unprofessional. She called my wife back and inform her that a check might be ready to pick up but she needs to call after 1pm before she gets there. My wife asked the name of the owner of the business. Araceli told her that "it doesn't matter" and refused to disclose the name. We will update this post to let all know if we received the check or not. They refuse to provide proof of what the item sold for it for. read more

Consignment Classics - Seller beware - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Diego, California

Back again, we still find things we want but don't need. We spent the equal to a hotel night. That s fine. We found a couple specials, and the sellers want you to text or call to settle a price or a tag is hidden. Great place to look. If you want a watch deal, see Paul. He's there 7 days. Right near the main door. read more

Woooooah! This place is HUGE! I think you could literally find any old thing you were looking for! I got a cute red purse with gold ship on the clasp, a rainbow pinstripe spaghetti strap jumper, a buckle and some old brass dangly pendants I'm going to turn into earrings! I'm obsessed! I will be back. Prices are better than most antique shops in socal, selection even better than palm springs! People working there were pretty cool and nice too. read more

Thrift store items at retail prices, Way too high for what they offer. I would not waste your time coming here

I have bought and sold items at Consignment Classics, The Mart. The items are so fun, interesting! Home decor is varied, one of a kind and gorgeous! The customer service--from the point of view of being a seller and buyer--is great! (The Mart is their newest location and it's on Mission Gorge Road in San Diego.) I love The Mart! read more

This place was amazing. I wish I had more energy to explore in there. Found silver charm and hot wheels

this review is only regarding the guy that has watches inside this business, paul the watch man. i should be giving him only 1 star but he did return my watch. so, he claimed to know how to repair a quite valuable watch, so i allowed him to work on it (my trusting fault). i then had to follow up 3 times about it. each time given another excuse why it wasn't ready. he had my watch for 8 wks and did nothing to it. and when i came to get it, he claimed to have it at his home!! i then had to wait another two days to get it because he claimed he was going out of town!! unacceptable for anyone to conduct business in this manor. i did get my watch back. nothing was done to it. nothing. i do not recommend him. and the owners of consignment classics should know! i will only go to this lovely store for the fab merchandise from all the great vendos. not paul the watch man! beware! read more

An incredible place to find just about anything! So much to see & inspect. I had so much fun looking at such plentiful choices of interesting items Literally had to drag myself out of their large display building. Highly recommend. read more

Is you're a vintage lover you'll have a time walking through here!! Really seems like it never ends. So many things to look at! Furniture, jewelry, fashion, rugs, accessories, YOU NAME IT.

Still def would spend some money here for unique items! read more

Decided to stop by and take a look during our vacation to San Diego. The employees were cordial and the place has a large selection; however, their floor layout is enough to drive an OCD person mad. Unfortunately, we did not buy anything. read more

We have been customers of Consignment Classics at its other San Diego locations. This location is quite different. As best as I can tell, this Consignment Classics and the San Diego Vintage and Antique Mall are one and the same business. Consignment Classics price tags are used throughout the Mall. There are over 100 unattended booths and standalone display cases offering an eclectic mix of furniture, clothing, jewelry, home and garden goods, tools, accessories, electronics, and more. Signs throughout provide instructions on placing a phone call to request assistance. There's a central cashier desk near the entrance, and a gated parking lot. I found prices to be higher than I'd expect elsewhere. The very size and layout of the mall can be daunting. read more

This place is a mix of high end antiques and bargain finds. It's a treasure trove of unique items. I loved the history section and ephemera. Plant section outside was cool. They have everything... Coins, clothes, cups... Statues, signs, santas... Thimbles, toys, tapestries... Jewelery, Japanese art... Ornaments, furniture, rugs, radios... Honestly... if you are a treasure hunter, bring your bestie and spend the day here. Yelp should do a fun scavenger hunt challenge here. Its the largest antique mall in San Diego. read more

a hidden gem in San Diego. You can find some incredible pieces here. I've been here more than 10 times & I love it more and more every time I come. I've gotten a few vintage shirts here. All about $10 each. A great spot if you need some staple pieces in your home! some things can be a bit pricey but you really can find some items for under $300 that are incredible! read more

Parking is a huge problem. Not enough, and the spots are tight. Place reminded me of a grandmothers attic in a horror movie. Dusty, dirty shelves, cobwebs, and it smelled. Unorganized and no one obviously cleans the place. Saw dead bugs, too. Some very inexpensive junk, and some very pricey items that shouldn't have been. Whole experience gave me hives. read more

4.6/5.0 This place is like heaven. So many booths with such a wide range of styles and vibes. No matter what you like, you'll find something you love here. The pricing really depends on the seller, but we found most prices to be reasonably priced. Some sellers will negotiate so make sure to ask! Found this amazing coffee table for my place at such a great price read more

Absolutely MASSIVE warehouse with lots of little vendors that create their own booths. Prices aren't the cheapest. But they have such a huge variety of stuff here and you could easily spend 1.5+ hours here just trying to quickly walkthrough to see each booth. If you know anyone who likes vintage/antique/thrift shopping etc this would be a good place to take them. They had a booth that had a ton of uranium glassware which was cool. As well as tons of clothing, purses, furniture, jewelry, watches, home decor, kitchen items, rugs, artwork etc. read more

I've come to this spot a few times after going to Kobey's swap meet and always find coastal decor items I love for a great price. This place is humongous and truly has a design aesthetic for everyone. I always get a little lost going from section to section because the layout is confusing, but it's like a fun labyrinth to explore if you have time to look. It does draw a mixed crowd and I wish they had more employees to ensure safety in the store. I saw an altercation in the store once and the person was not removed from the property. May try to visit the Encinitas location. read more

So, I love a good treasure hunt. Thrifting is fun because you just never know what you're going to find and how unique the items and the entire experience will be. I am very familiar with the process of foraging for diamonds in the rough. And I am a very patient woman. However my experience at consignment Classics was hectic, confusing and altogether not good. Things are stacked to the ceiling here! Prices were expensive for what they are - and the sketchy location. Overall, it really was not well organized or approachable by any means. I came looking primarily for furniture (and I'm always open to clothing) but this location had rooms upon rooms of "stuff" so its much more for the knicknack collector or if you're looking for a really unique trinket to gift - but even those seemed overpriced. I would not recommend this spot to the deal hunter - or maybe I have to give it another chance. I can't really tell but I know when I'm looking for something specific like furniture, I won't likely come here... but for trinkets or decor - I might! read more

Consignment Classics - Favorite Area - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Diego, California

My initial impressions of this place were unfriendly, overpriced, and dusty. The staff was incredibly unfriendly. There was no greeting when we entered or left. Even though vendors and staff were walking around, no one offered to help us. The place was enormous, and it seemed like the vendors didn't clean their booths. Dust was everywhere on every item. Some tags were so faded that we couldn't read the information on them. They did have a great selection of vintage items. I'm not sure if it's the area, but the prices were very high. read more

This place is so very cool!! An amazing selection of household items, furniture, and clothing! So many awesome vintage pieces. I could definitely spend all day in here. One thing I did notice though was that the employees were kind of strange. I asked a woman in the back how i could purchase a piece of furniture and she didn't even let me finish my sentence before she told me to ask someone up front. Then the lady up front was also quite off putting, she looked at me like i was crazy when i told her i wanted to purchase a piece of furniture. But I am still giving 5 stars because everything else was super cool and i'll definitely come back, im just gonna keep my interactions with the employees to a minimum. read more

Totally in sensory overload is how I would characterize my first trip to this shop. I saw on Yelp that it was in my neighborhood and I decided to stop by, I was not prepared for how fantastic this place is. We all know that antiques can be expensive, which I don't understand because a lot of times you're looking at piles of junk. When I walked into the shop I was struck by how clean and thoughtfully organized the collections are. It seems that there are different collectors that all come together under this enormous warehouse roof. Each collector arranges their items in sort of a little booth. Everything seemed to go together so well and the pieces are of extremely good quality. A few of the collectors were actually there and were able to explain the stories behind some of the pieces and are seemed to be willing to negotiate on price a little bit. If you decide to pick something up you go to the front to pay and the tag has the collectors name on it so that's how they get their money. Never in my life have I been so impressed by the collections of antiques. There was an incredible Indian chair, hand carved from teak wood and painted so intricately. It was carried by people and raised above the crowd for high society. They were beautiful Mayan artifacts, framed art, handwoven rugs, fabulous furniture, clothing and household items and appliances from multiple periods. A surprising number of the items seem to be original condition, original upholstery and paint etc. and also in spectacular shape. You could tell some items had been touched up but very tastefully so and it many times slightly modernized. They also had a huge collection of CDs and tapes for $.50 and I saw a lot of things I wouldn't mind listening to you again in there! I feel like this is a place I will return to you over and over again, just slowly looking for things to fill my home. I am so glad I found it, thanks Yelp! read more

I just went here for the first time a few weeks ago and it's wild. There is so much to look at and wander through, it's a bit overwhelming to say the least.

I like this place for hunting for furniture. The prices are really mixed. I found a tufted leather ottoman that was exactly what I wanted. It was priced around $300, when something similar new would have been north of $1200. They have an array of art in the back and all the walls. I love coming here to browse. You never know what you might find. It has a warehouse vibe. Tape measures are at the cash register in the front. I also bought a unique mirror here for $40. Parking is easy. Service is ok, but not overly attentive or helpful. It's still the best place for used furniture shopping in the area. read more

I believe the big old guy with red neck is the owner and not just an employee, when I shop there I felt I am like a broke guy looking to steal an Item, so their body language and the look on their faces gives it away, I don't like being disrespected at all just because I am a man and kid looking person, it does not mean they have to be hardened like bleeding steel. Becareful when you shop at this store, it only destroys the aura of confidence in coming back read more

Truly amazing place to look for something cool and unique. My husband and I love exploring vintage shops and this one is our favorite one is San Diego. It is a huge space, please be prepared to spend 2+ hours here. We found something pretty fun here, and price is always nice. They are not very cheap but definitely worthy, and sometimes the deal is unbelievable if you are lucky. They also sell a lot of beautiful furnitures, I will recommend people come here to shop around if you look for some unique style furnitures. read more

When I'm in San Diego I visit a number of the Consignment Classics shops and I'll find some great treasures. Great friendly staff.

I have purchased several pieces of wall art from this place and the prices in general are fair. You can get lost in this place as it is very big. They have a large variety of furniture, art and decorations. There are all types of styles to choose from, modern, ancient, new and old. Make sure to look in the basement as there are deals to be found. read more

PROS: this place has it all. Cubbies and cabinets for you to rent while every single item has a price tag.

Avoid!!!! They tried to sell me a Rolex 5512 with a terrible dial for more than double the price of one with a nice dial! Mind you 95% of the value in a vintage watch is in the dial. And they have it posted online! No shame, Do you research before you get excited about anything they have. Just get on your smart phone and do a few google searches and you'll see this place is out to get over in you. They spoke of the watch as if nothing was wrong with it. Imagine if your partner or someone out to get you something nice walks into this place. That's just wrong, shame on this place. read more
