Deceptive charging practices. Went in to browse last week…read moreand found a couple things in a bin labeled 3/$5. I know some places add an extra charge for using credit card with low purchases, and i hadnt been sure i was going to buy something. I asked if there would be a charge and he said "just tax" and i didnt ask further. Looked at my checking account later that week and I had been charged $10.95. Again, the bin these were in was labeled $5 for three small items (or $2 each) I mean this could be partially my fault for not asking specifics but i was running late for something else. Anyways the guy in there seemed nice but now i feel like his small talk was just there to distract me from asking more about the price. So yeah. Check your bank account after they charge you because they might straight up charge you double without telling you.

My 10-year-old son came into the store today and purchased a collectors tin of Pokemon cards. The tin was partially wrapped (which should've been a red flag for him) but he purchased it anyway. The packs that were in the tin were all opened and the valuable cards removed. Needless to say, we'll never be shopping at this store again and neither should you. UPDATE: Bryan the manager reached out to me within a couple hours of my original post and we discussed the issue. He was very cordial and we were able to come to a resolution. I sincerely appreciate the gesture and will be back.

On the tchotchkes front, I'd rather go to Cost Plus World Market. If I were Michaels, I'd double down on arts and crafts. That's what drew me here in the first place. Instead, I left with a cheap decorative pumpkin I don't need and some candy corn. And a plan never to return. The cashier was nice and very much alive. This was going to be a three-star review, but then I saw their lead image, which is currently that beyond awful Halloween display. Who put that up? And what kind of idiot would choose to highlight photos of that? Some people are stupid and tasteless.

To begin with, I'm not a Lego person. I can appreciate it, but it's not my thing. My husband,…read morehowever, is. We don't have kids, but in the de Taylor household, I have to watch where I step, because there may be a Lego underfoot. Accordingly, my husband asked if we could stop by Brick Loot on the way home from Beyond the Cheddar Curtain, and I'm a team player. It's a pretty adorable store. The owner's dad** said that he has three main things that the store does. First, there's a monthly loot box for subscribers. Secondly, they sell lighting kits for legos. Finally, they sell legos themselves. It's not a huge shop, so it's not an alternative for going to the lego store. However, they have a lot of clever kits that I think the owner or the owner's dad put together, as well as the light kits and various spare parts. It's definitely a neat place to go for a lego enthusiast. The only thing I'd suggest is getting a "partner's chair" for when a partner comes along for the ride. However, I imagine that would also inspire inattentive parents to sit down and let their kids run wild, so perhaps that's not a good idea after all! ** The owner's dad was very clear that his 12 year old son was the owner and brain behind the operation, which I find pretty adorable too.

(Career path is mixed-- more in the health, dance and general retail arena than anywhere in my undergraduate area of study). But with my undergraduate degree in History and a former tutor who sometimes wanted to treat my regular students to items of interest, more meaningful than a gift card -- this was and is the place to shop. John, the owner, and his staff ( Matt; Luke) offer INTEGRITY, professional knowledge and great customer service. Store is 'eclectic' but clean (and all protocol followed in regard to COVID-19/aka SARS-CoV-2). I think of this store as a 'mini-Museum' when I cannot spend a full day at one-- Highly recommend this store; Glenview Coins and Collectibles has been a fixture in Glenview for many years, and their reputation is well-earned.

Costa's was second on the list after stopping at a dealer in Palatine and before coin dealers in Skokie and Morton Grove. I called ahead to all the dealers to be sure that I would not be charged a fee. They all said I would not be charged a fee. When I arrived at the dealer in Palatine, a woman at the front desk informed me there would be a fee of $85.00 per hour. While I was telling her I was told there was no fee a man walked in I assumed was the owner. He barely looked at my coins and gave me a very low offer so I left As soon I walked in to Costa's I was impressed with this place.The staff was very professional and everything was nicely displayed compared to the other dealers who operate out of a "hole in the wall" or what looks like a sleazy pawn shop. I found out I was talking to one of the two brothers that owed the store and he told me he was collecting since he was 11 years old. He gave a comprehensive appraisal of everything in my collection and gave me a price that was in the range of what I expected. I almost sold to him at this point but wanted to visit the remaining two dealers first. After visiting the remaining two dealers I returned to Costa's and cashed in my coins for a nice price. I would definitely recommend making a stop at Costa's if your selling coins or gold or if you are buying gold as an investment. They have a nice selection of gold and silver coins and bullion. They even have some interesting items such as "Silver Bullets" if your looking for novelty gift items.

They were very professional and fair. They took the time to evaluate the collections that I sold to…read morethem.
