Failed to get the most pertinent one indicating it was a photocopy of an original. I feel this information was deliberately withheld to close a modest sale. I am mostly upset I wasted a day driving there and back for garbage. Buyer Beware at Brown Bear's Basket.

It's somewhat organized but people bring things in so often there is some hunting to be done. Prices are very reasonable I don't think anything here is slated to sell for over $5 or $10. Went a few days with a few people and was able to find dress shirts, cool one of a kind artwork and antique earrings. This place is worth giving a go even if you're not looking for anything in particular. You might just find that a want you have is there and waiting just for you to come pick it up.

There's the main floor - and don't forget the basement level! From the standard Coca Cola collectibles and Elvis, to kitchenware of days past, military regalia to porcelain figurines they've got something for everyone! We will definitely come back to check out new inventory!

The best part has been they are treasures at reasonable prices The staff is super friendly and helpful, without being pushy. If I only had one recommendation, it would be to make way for those who are in wheelchairs or walkers. In fairness, they have a relatively small space. I have friends with handicaps who cannot visit because they could not manuever around the store. It you love unique home decor items, you MUST visit RePurpose It.

His response to that was "That's your problem." Yet another instance where business owners have forgotten that the public is who pays their wages. Be careful what you buy and walk out when the sales person is rude. Never again will I go there only to be treated like trash.

If you are not-too-picky and willing to hunt around, this store is a gem. It has been in business forever. The building is ancient. The upstairs: foreboding. When I was a kid I'd call in to radio contests once in awhile and if you won you had to go claim the album in person. Quad Cities, Galesburg, and here - Burlington, at Weird Harold's. Very large collection of all genres. I routinely find a record here that blows my mind, that it was sitting on the shelf. For who knows how long. Pricing is excellent. Pls don't listen to the fool who complained about prices and political hats. Who cares. It's about the music, period. Yep-new albums are pricey. Welcome to reality. But the used records are priced very well. I have only once asked for them to relook a price and they agreed. Their pricing may be creeping upward but not by much. I encourage y'all to bring in your old records that you don't want so that those who are collecting can buy them...

(or any month for that matter) WEIRD HAROLD'S I have been here twice and both times i almost got lost in the upstairs record collection. There are 4 parts of this store, the first floor has a collection of CD's and some art and framed posters, the 2nd section is half way up the stairs and it is apparently a place to do your own pottery. Haven't checked that out yet but it could be fun. Continue up the stairs to see a GIANT collection of costumes, most of them for rental. If you're two hours away from here and have a costume party to go to, this is the place to go, it didn't seem expensive, like 25 to 50 bucks for a 5 day rental and then you don't clutter your closet with a Mr Potatohead costume. Finally to the right of that is the equally giant collection of records... I don't know you're taste so i won't say they have EVERYTHING but i was finding comedy albums that aren't even on CD. ENJOY Weird Harold's easily one of my favorite places in Burlington.

Selection of "spiritual" books is very slim, and occupies a very cramped area of an low-ceiling upstairs. You can find all of this kind of product cheaper online. In a big city, a gift shop like this can work, but the selection of gifts are usually much bigger better and more original. I felt like I was visiting a 1985 bookstore.
