I was sad to find they are allowing one of their vendors to sell a framed reproduction photograph of a KKK March from the 1920s. I understand when dealers are selling actual historic artifacts (I still think it's weird to profit off of racist histories, but I understand there are complex perspectives about archival value). This was not that - the back of the photograph showed that it was printed last year at Walmart, but it was being sold as a framed photo. It felt celebratory and exploitative, not historical or educational. When I asked the owners why they allowed that, they said it is illegal to prevent the dealer from selling the photo, and that it is "free speech." This is not true - antique malls are legally allowed to have guidelines that dictate what can be sold. I think it is incredibly distasteful and unethical that the owners are choosing to profit off of images of such a violent, disgusting organization. I sadly won't return, and I hope the owners will take accountability for their decisions.

Well it was on the top of the cabinet next to many other items I told her. She said "that is mine and it's not for sale!!!" No sign or anything stating this! I really didn't care that it wasn't for sale but I DID care about her condescending attitude. Not a good way to treat customers!

I would not recommend this place at all unless you want an afternoon to peruse junk.

I dropped off a few things at the counter for them to hold while I continued to shop. He apparently wrapped them while I was shopping. When I came back to the counter, my husband wanted to talk with the other clerk about a couple of cameras. The first clerk tried to rush me to check out my items before my husband finished his conversation. I told him that I was waiting for my husband. He kept asking me every couple of minutes if I was ready to check out. I kept telling him no and he seemed to get more and more frustrated with me. He slammed things around and kept sighing loudly each time I said I was waiting. I can only describe his behavior as rude. There was no one else in the vicinity so I wasn't holding up a line or anything. Finally, after about 10 minutes, my husband finished his conversation and I said I was ready to check out. I had wanted to take a second look at one of the items I had dropped off. He told me that I couldn't because he had already wrapped it. Yes, I know I could have told him to just keep it, but I didn't. So, just know two things: 1. When you drop something off for them to hold it for you, just know that you can't re-evaluate your choice. 2. All camera equipment that the vendors bring in gets collected by the manager and put on e-bay. So you will need to ask the price at the counter and likely haggle. I probably won't go again because rude employees aren't acceptable.

He's a real jackass, abusive to customers, and doesn't deserve the business he inherited from Daddy. We will never go back in there after the way he treated my wife. Bottom line is he cheated us out of money. DISHONEST.

My dad used to renovate run-down stuff he'd salvaged from the Alna Dump (dump picking was legal; this was the early 70s) and sell or trade to Elmer. Hours would go by. So much amazing and rusty junk, and random things like thousands of wooden eggs and bags of antique long white gloves and lace tablecloths sold by the pound. Anyway, it's an antique mall, now, but there is still the old vibe there, chickens wandering around, rusty sawblades, and if you go out in the back rooms which maybe you aren't supposed to...The smell of wet cement and the old creepy tools hanging up *chef's kiss* Oh, and you'll leave with something reasonably priced.

He didn't have the item, but it's not easy to find and my expectations on that were very low. A friendly customer who Bob was helping before me overheard and they both offered me great advice for continuing the hunt for my treasure. I had a look around the shop, and found a beautiful (fragile) trinket I decided to purchase. Bob took extra special care in wrapping my item to make sure it would get home in one piece. It was clear he cared, even though my purchase only cost $5. (A steal). When I went out to my car, Bob had followed to take down the "open" flag and saw that I had my dog with me. He called out "next time you come please bring your dog in with you!" And that just made my day. Customer service is everything, and this place is as good as is gets. I am putting this on my "must visit" list for my future returns to coastal Maine.
