If you enjoy antiquing, shopping local, or home decor, you may wanna check out this place. This new…read morelocation is quite large, it has 2 floors and it looks like it used to be a school so the building itself has some charm. They have several vendor stalls, but you are free to roam around and pay at the register by the door regardless of which stall you purchase from, plus no annoying sales people! Lots of parking, near downtown in a charming old neighborhood. They have events every few weeks, including farmers markets, so keep an eye on their socials.

Might be back, might not, they got $90 from me which I'm not upset about.

Purchased a Kenmore washer and dryer from an ad on Craigslist on May 15, 2019. Thought it was a…read morelegitimate purchase because it stated" come view at Advent Thrift." It also stated it had a "60 Day Warranty" and no where did it state repairs only NO REFUNDS. I am a single working mother with 2 sons who have blood diseases and after speaking with Al over the phone found a person to pay and have the set picked up. When the pickup person arrived he entered the store asked Mrs. Peters (Manager) for Al and she stated "right over there." The washer tub has numerous rust spots and clothes have been damaged. I called and spoke with Al and asked for a refund and he stated "no refunds only repairs" and I stated that was not stated in the ad and he agreed that it was not. He offered to come to my home and change out the tub and again I requested my $$ back and that the ad needed to be clear in reference to a "60 Day Warranty". He at which time stated "it was not a good time for him to speak and that he was hanging up." I called him back and asked again for a refund and he stated no again and claimed he almost ran into something talking on the phone with me. I told him I would not call again but rather have legal contact him. Next, I called and spoke with Elizabeth Peters (Manager) of Advent Thrift and explained to her my circumstances, she indicated that he was leasing space and that she had not seen the ad. She wanted to call him and offered to call me back. I received a return call from her and she stated "He offered to repair the tub so leave me out of it." I am competing paperwork and filing a small claims judgement against Al. To protest not having the terms honored is worth the $78 plus $20 to have a sheriff serve the judgement/paperwork. Always keep receipts and take a screenshot of ads...I am so glad I did!! On the receipt, he had another opportunity to write "no refunds only repairs"...but he did not. Advent Thrift need to require leaser's to have insurance and state clearly they are a separate entity. They may be liable also.

There are so many vendors (some are in the storage buildings, and some set up under the trees) and such a large variety to choose from. I feel like I'm in flea market heaven. There is something for everyone. They sell: shoes, clothing, furniture, antiques, lawncare items, the list goes on and on. I would advice anyone who loves bargains to check them out! They are usually open (weather permitting) on Sat and Sun. However, I have discovered if you are driving through during the week, some vendors who rent the storage buildings are open for business. Check them out, it will be worth your time.

If you enjoy discovering one‑of‑a‑kind finds and supporting a place with real heart, Patches Antique Emporium is a must‑visit.

Inside, these vendors are 'in love' with their merchandise as too expensive but probably due to rent. I was surprised that the inside didn't look as 'trashy' as it did outside. Unless you just really need something to do, it's okay to visit. Bet a lot of this 'merchandise' has been here for years and will remain.

However, Lesia pulled the item for another person that commented 3 minutes after I commented. I sent Lesia screenshots showing that I commented first, no response. I posted the screenshot and tagged Lesia in it, no response. Lesia was active on the page, so I know she saw my posts, just chose to take no accountability for her mistake and ignored me. Very unprofessional. Lesia made a post in the group "it's a great day to shop at the pickers choice" so I commented on that post and said that I would love to shop the pickers choice when I come to pick up the item I claimed, but you chose to give it to someone else. I messaged the page as well, and they called me a bully. I guess I'm done shopping here!
