Have passed by Past and Present for years and not really sure why I never stopped in but the other…read moreday I found myself rounding that familiar State St curve and decided that it was time I satisfied my curiosity. I'm glad that I did because this is a very nicely curated antique shop with a little vintage thrown in here and there for good measure. As far as pricing went I felt it was pretty reasonable for the most part. What really made the experience all the better though was the absolutely friendly shopkeeper who was working at the time. They were nice to everyone they interacted with and we had a nice conversation while I was perusing. I didn't leave with anything but I saw a couple of things I might come back for.

The people complaining about too much stuff are nuts. That's what you want! Some aisles are…read morenarrow, but most just fine. Get over it. There's a large selection of books, most 3.00 and under, mass market paperbacks 50 cents, and periodically there are good old ones from the 50s or 60s. Some items are cheap. Some are costly. They also sell the very high priced stuff online, but there's still plenty of great stuff in the store itself. The bathrooms are old but super clean and not creepy like in some places. There are real antiques, beautiful furniture, art works, plastic storage tubs, all kinds of glassware, figurines, etc. Don't listen to the complainers. I go whenever I can and almost always find something I want.

I really wanted to love this place, especially with its claim of being the "world's biggest." While…read moreit's certainly packed with an incredible array of items, that density actually makes for a frustrating shopping experience. The aisles are so crammed that it's impossible to navigate with a shopping cart, which really limits your ability to browse and buy. It's a shame because there were genuinely interesting items, from high-priced antiques to thrift-store finds, but the difficulty in moving around made it hard to truly appreciate them. After driving over an hour and 15 minutes to get there, leaving empty-handed was quite a letdown. While I appreciate that they at least had a bathroom, which allowed me to stay as long as I did, the overall hassle overshadowed any enjoyment. I'm not sure if I'll make the trek again for a second chance. I had high hopes, but ultimately, this place just didn't live up to them. Still worth a try. I did find that the employees just sat around on their phones so I couldn't get a feel of who they are. One actually scolded me for trying to pick up and item

When you first enter the store there's a bunch of tables with very cool Knick knacks such as old retro sunglasses, jacket sacks, garbage pail kids stickers, among other very cool finds. Regarding the clothing, it's moderately priced but a lot of the clothes are in really great condition for having been used. Definitely worth checking out! Even to just get lost amongst the Knick knacks!

Didn't even acknowledge we had entered the store. No hello no nothing. He was busy speaking to…read moresomeone he obviously knew very well. As when the bell on the door rang he didn't even look up. Just gave me vibes that I didn't like . Not to mention severely overpriced. You must not like money? What a joke. It's very clear we were not a priority or serviced at all. And that comes off as you don't want a certain type of person in your store. Disappointed. Won't be back. Was prepared to spend upwards of $2,000. Guess me and my money aren't good enough for thrill vintage.

The reason I came here was to find gifts for friends, and to my surprise, they had a huge selection…read moreof products that might be used as gifts. I was quite grateful to my relative for recommending this place due to the fact that I am having a difficult time coming up with an appropriate gift for that friend of mine. Dresses are among those available at the store, which I believe she will like. There are also jewelry pieces, bags, and a variety of other items. After all was said and done, I purchased a dress and asked for assistance from one of the staffs. Naturally, some is quite expensive, but I believe that the majority of the costs are reasonable. It's definitely worth time coming here. Perhaps I'll return to this store in the future to purchase gifts for my partner and, of course, for myself. Everyone should take time coming here cause I assure you guys that it will be worth it!

The selection is pretty good though, clothing wise, there are a lot of decent brand name clothes to find. I didn't get any clothes but I did find a rare book that's out of print for five dollars. I bought it quickly and it happily sits on my shelf. Thrift shops are like that, and sure, sometimes the selection doesn't turn out in your favor, but sometimes you'll find something. At least with this one you'll be able to browse pretty quickly.

So expensive for resale and the selection isn't great. They wanted $17 for a simple sundress.read more
