The shop is in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The owner was surprised at how much I had, but showed genuine interest. He took the engine and put it in the track. It ran backwards, but not forward. He said it likely needed oiled. I felt like he was fair in what he offered me for everything. It's such a niche collectible and I hope it goes to someone who really loves trains. This shop had everything you could have imagined so I would check it out if you need anything train related!

The owner changed in 1999 and after talking to him, I thought he was pretty friendly. This is one of those stores which has a designated and very unique clientele. So, if you're looking for fellow train lovers and toy train experts, this is definitely the shop to go to in Indianapolis. It is a small business, but a wealth of train info can be found here that you wouldn't be able to get online on Amazon or at big toy stores.

My fraud senses are tingling…read more I only know of Collector's Den because they place a "Charity Auction" table inside the Hyatt Regency. Big letters that read "CHARITY AUCTION" with some (fairly common) posters and memorabilia, with a "sign-up" sheet to make a bid. Designed to get people thinking "Oh, I can support a charity AND buy something fun while I enjoy my business trip/vacation!" Apparently they do this every month, although the hotel staff don't know much about it. Just one problem: There is no information about which "charity" it supports, let alone a non-profit organization tax number. It gets worse. Their web site has an "Online Charity Auction" link at the top. That takes you to a page that simply says "Online Auction," with zero mention of charity. Elsewhere, they have a link to that same page where it also just says "Online Auction." So - not really a charity auction, just a regular auction. It gets worse. Their FAQ has no information on the "charity" portion of this. But there is a "FAQ" that reads "How do I make a donation?" that simply gives steps to "make a donation" without bidding or buying anything. But again, no mention at all of what the supposed charity might be. Following the outlined steps take you to a page that reads "Donate to Collectors Den SYFOA" and allows you to enter an amount and then enter your credit card details. Wait, what? You give money to Collectors Den and NOT an actual charity? Huh? I mean, even if this were legitimate, that is horribly inefficient -- how much of your donation would actually reach the charity vs being used to pay Collectors Den's bills? So what's going on? Another reviewer from 2019 indicates that they're affiliated with Make-a-Wish (and other?) charities. But their web site simply says they can offer a service where they provide items at a lower cost for other organizations to use in fundraising auctions, so it's unclear if they're actually directly affiliated or if these so-called pop-up "Charity Auctions" benefit Make-a-wish or any other known charitable organization. I've bid in auctions for real charitable organizations. I've never seen an organization hide their details or simply say "charity auction" instead of the specific needs that they meet in the community. That's counter-productive to an organization's goals. This looks a lot like Collector's Den is using misleading/fraudulent marketing practices. I can't say for sure that's what's happening, and I really hope I'm wrong, but all signs point to this conclusion. BUYER BEWARE

I showed up today after a very long drive already in a mediocre mood. I went up to the front desk to ask about a Facebook Marketplace agreement I had made for a sofa set and the price, only to find out there had been some miscommunication. At first I honestly thought I might have been scammed, which instantly put me in a terrible mood. I definitely huffed around and complained about how far I had driven while trying to sort it out. Long story short...the Facebook Marketplace dealer was not a scam at all. We had simply misunderstood which pieces we were talking about. Fast forward to the end of the visit: three employees (two gentlemen and a woman / I'm sad I didn't get their names) helped me load everything and went the extra mile in every way. They were incredibly kind to me... even after my less-than-great attitude earlier. I tipped them and apologized for being grumpy, but I have to say I left there genuinely believing in people again. They handled the situation with so much patience and kindness. Very cool experience. I'll absolutely be back (with a better attitude!) and I'll be paying that kindness forward. Thank you to those three employees....even helped load my trailer. Seriously nice. Like....extra! Thank yoU!

Their prices are refreshingly reasonable and spot-on with the real market--they don't just eyeball it, they actually check recently sold comps like responsible adults. Extremely current without the usual "I pulled this number out of my binder" vibes. Sure, I'm not exactly doing cartwheels over their 40-60% trade-in rate (my inner optimizer shed a single tear), but honestly? The fact that they're not trying to rob me blind more than makes up for it. In a hobby full of wolves in shiny foil armor, these folks feel like the friendly neighborhood merchant who actually wants you to come back. Highly recommend--solid shop, fair deals, zero drama. I'll definitely be going back (and maybe bringing tissues for my trade-in soul next time).

This review is harsh. I'm sorry, but my experience was not very good. To give my review credibility…read moreso that you do not dismiss my review as a gripe session. I have been to 98 different race tracks and have experience driving, watching, and being a member of media. Let me start with the positive. They kept the program moving with no dead time between races. Of the tracks I have been to, this was one of the dustiest dirt tracks ever I have been to. Watering the track and tamping it down before the main feature did not help. From the fourth turn, I could not see the cars in the first turn. Fans took cover on every lap. I am used to getting dusted, but this was terrible. I had a beer, and in a few laps, I had to blow off the dust. Dust raised over the front wall like breakers at the beach. Walking under the main grandstands, you could see the dust pattern that formed through the slots in the seating. I remind you, I have been to many dirt tracks, but his was not pleasant. Concessions were not good. My friend is a Hoosier native, he ordered a tenderloin and rated it as poor. I wanted a Salisbury steak, and while on the menu, it was not available. Neither were the premium beers. My pretzel was tasteless and basically bread. Ick. Exiting the track after the main event was a joke. Only one gate was open for fans to exit. It was three feet wide, and crowds formed pushing and shoving their way through the eye of the needle. Local, frequent fans may disagree with me out of familiarity. Folks, if this is you, go see other tracks and learn how the right way is to run a dirt track. You can choose to blow me off as a grumpy old man, but think through what I said and make your own decisions. There are better run events elsewhere.
