While I was deployed with USN Media and dealing with the grief of being away from my children, I…read morewas trying to think of ways to meaningfully connect with them. I called this company in the hopes that they could help me put together a prop birth certificate as a 14 year old birthday prank I wanted to give my son. It is something I've wanted to do since he was born and something I think would bring joy to his heart with the intentionality and time behind it... Pictured are the responses I received. It was truly hurtful. I get that if you cannot offer these services you might educate them on that. After spending over an hour trying to get my full credit card scanned to them for a quote and this was their response when I only followed the prompts of their website, I was blown away. Just so the public is aware, this company only handles "large productions" in case you didn't see it on the website, I certainly did not. So if you're not a big production company, be prepared to be rejected or talked down to. I was, however, able to develop my own gift to my son. I'll put it in the photos as well :) Praise God!

UPDATE OF MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: After what started out to be a positive experience, I'm left with a…read morevery negative feeling about this place. IN A LARGE NUTSHELL: I originally called to see if ATRT carried a specific pressing of an artist/album and they did. I purchased that album plus four others. Played all of the albums BUT the specific album I needed - which was the most expensive - was literally unplayable. Contacted owner Kevin and he started making up store policies: claimed the invoice states it allows for only a 50% refund (it doesn't); then stated while he wouldn't refund me, he would try to locate another copy of the album which would probably have a later pressing/label & that I needed to be okay with that since it contained all of the same songs as the original pressing. (I wanted the original release, I paid for the original release, I expected the original release - not a later reissue on a different label - this shouldn't be difficult for any collector to comprehend.) Kevin attempted to bully me by repeatedly cutting me off with his confrontational, condescending, argumentative and arrogant tone which, honestly, was shocking, to say the least. Eventually he admitted he doesn't listen to the albums while simultaneously claiming them to be in great condition - after much back and forth, he finally agreed to reimburse me for the defective album. (It's as though he's great to talk to if you agree with everything he says but if he feels challenged, he takes it as a threat?????) I understand not being able to listen to thousands of albums to check their usability but if they don't work & he doesn't want to provide an in-store opportunity for customers to test them, do the honest thing. Also, post your lack-of-return-policy-of-the-moment so customers know in advance what they're settling for - NOTE: they have you sign the receipt after paying AND keep talking to you while signing so you simply think you're signing for receipt of merchandise - if there's a no-return clause or a partial refund clause, you won't know that. As I stated to Kevin over the phone, I'm not mad or angry about the hostile way he treated me, I'm actually sad - what could have been a pretty darn good experience with a local small business turned out to be a pretty awful one. MY MISTAKE - I should have read other reviews BEFORE visiting because there are wildly differing opinions on this place and all seem legit - the good and the bad. My first review was great and as you can see, that soured pretty frickin' quickly. It doesn't take much to be decent and honest - especially if you'd like to keep customers who are happy to share their experiences with others.

The process was easy and straightforward. We highly recommend Target Props for their quality of props, service and price.

We couldn't find the movie we were looking for , but he found it right away for us . This store brought back great memories of when watching a movie was actually a special event. It took some commitment in time and effort to go pick up a movie. The experience of walking around the store to look at the titles, read the back covers, talk to store employees and even other customers about movies they liked. 30 years from now we'll be watching videos of how we used to actually go to grocery stores to buy food and reminiscing of the good old days, you wait and see. " Be kind, please rewind ."..ugh memories .

When I came back to pick it up, I was shocked to see it lying on its side on the floor in front of his counter. When he gave it back onto me, there were several scratches on the case! This beautiful machine had somehow made it nearly 80 years without a scratch-- that is, until I had the misfortune of trusting Mr. Schultz with it. To make matters worse, he denied he had caused the scratches, even when I showed him photos that I had taken of the typewriter before I brought it in for servicing. He ultimately bought the type from me, but not before screaming vulgarities at me. What a surreal and hellish experience it was dealing with this guy.

I was raised on "The September Issue," back when it was so heavy you had to hold it with both arms, like a pre-med text book; I believe GQ has the best writers; I have a certain affinity for AD, since my old man built all of our houses up in PDX. And I have always gotten my elitist history from Vanity Fair...where else can you read about The Agnelli Family's scandals! Condé Nast isn't what it once was, sadly, but I still love to pursue the fun covers. As a former journalist, something about print, pour moi, will never be dead. I recently needed a copy of Japan Vogue for the kid's Saturn Return celebration, but none of the out-of-stock Kinokuniya bookshops had it (nor would they reply to my email inquiries *annoyed emoji*); however, the fabulous Paul had it brought over from his magical warehouse in a couple of hours. Brilliant. I'm telling you, kids, this stand and its people are LA gems!
