Owner is dishonest. We sold them some stuff and agreed with the woman owner on giving us a gift…read morecertificate that we could use whenever we wanted and have a declining balance. We wanted this because we USED to like the shop and wanted to support them instead of taking the cash and spending it somewhere else. After using it a couple times my wife went in to use it and the man owner refused her, called her a liar, and got aggressive and nasty. 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. Last trip's treasures were that Yes album with the six part fold-out-art ($8) and a kinda cheesy old painting with ornate frame ($13); I'll toss the painting and upcycle the frame. Pretty sure some ghosts "live" there...bring a camera and take some spooky pictures to see spirit orbs! Can't recommend an Elmer's afternoon highly enough, particularly on a cold, rainy day.

I was impressed with the helpfulness of the staff as I had questions regarding my purchases. In conversation they recommended Indian Trail Antiques as a "Mantiques" location. They were spot on! We programmed the GPS and were off, two 14 year olds, my wife and I. We arrived to find out that they are closed on Monday's and Tuesdays, however, Charles was working in yard/barn and invited us in, turning on the lights on all 3 floors of his large barn. We had a tour along with the stories of how he acquired some of his collection. The barn was neat and orderly and reminded me of the show American Pickers Antique Archeology store.

RON IS A HOOT!! I shopped here last year and bought some…read moresilver spoons since some of my spoons went missing. Fast forward to this year, my daughter is getting married and the Wedding Shower was going to be a Tea Party. We wanted to make up some Thank You Gifts with a Tea Cup and a silver spoon so I went back to Ron Reed. He was annoyed right off the bat because I didn't see his sign to turn the light on for myself. OK, sorry Buddy! So, he had to reprimand me for that. All I wanted was spoons so I went to the silverware box and pulled some out. I needed about 25-30 of them but since he charges fifty cents a piece which is actually quite pricey for old tarnished spoons. I decided to just get 40 of them...20 bucks! Sure, that was fine, he didn't have to give me change, no problem. I'll get 'em and go...NO. Not going to happen. Nothing can be easy! I walked up to Ron and he asked me if I can count. HUH? Yeah, I can count (at least up to 40). Then he tells me he's "been taken before". TAKEN? WHAT? I told him I wasn't there to TAKE HIM! I'm halfway mad at myself because he counted them and said I had 41. Darn it!! I can count and I thought I had 40 but he counted 41. I should have counted them again for myself but I wasn't there to TAKE HIM, so I reached in my purse and pulled out 50 cents. Why I'm mad at myself is that I didn't need that many spoons to begin with. I should have put some back instead of buying more than I needed. I'll just say; He's not a people person! I'm giving him 2 stars because his place is better organized than most "Antique" shops. It's small so it doesn't take too long to go through his place. Pretty much has the same stuff as most antique stores. The first time I was there he was complaining about his ex-wife to my husband. He just needs to learn how to talk to people. RUDE!
