    Olde Good Things Scranton is store that caters to the 1%. Their materials are overpriced and their…read moreservice (at least that provided by Kevin) is both dishonest and sucks. I visited Olde Good Things (Scranton) on 8/23/25 looking for old copper gutters. Kevin informed me that at that very time they were disassembling building materials from the State Psychiatric hospital in Harrisburg and showed me photos of the gutters. I agreed they would be perfect and provided him with a materials requirements list. I also asked him for pricing in order to determine how much material to purchase since my project had both essential and optional components. On 8/27 Kevin quoted me "This gauge is heavy vs what's used today - $12.50 per ft on gutters" and "Downspouts $9 a ft" telling me that I could pick them up on 8/30/25 between "Oh 11 - 11:30". When I arrive I find that the gutters have been put out for me but not the downspouts. Kevin remarks "uh there's a problem with the downspouts" but doesn't elaborate while also commenting "I should have quoted you more for the gutters." He takes me to a place in the building where some of the materials for me had been placed but not brought out including 90-degree gutter corners, gutter clips and a host of downspouts. I collect what I need and find Kevin to settle up. At that point he tells me "I'll have to charge you 5 times the cost for those downspouts because they have the green patina we use for other projects". But he says that he's returning to the job site in the following week and will find other downspouts. I assure him I'm interested texting him at Saturday 12:21 "Kevin, if you are able to get me 26' of downspouts and about 20 of the metal clips at the end of the gutter holders then I can make this work. Text me and I'll come pick up the stuff. Thank you" Thrice in the course of the week I text him asking how it is going and assuring him that I'm interested in purchasing. He never responds. Finally on 9/6 I text him "Kevin, it's been a week. Are we still trying to do business together or have you moved on? I'd appreciate the courtesy of a reply. Thank you." To which he responds "Not at this time - if I go back to site I let u know - other gutter material sold." When I query him about this behavour and point out that I'd wasted 1.5 hours driving to his business and another 1.5 hours sorting materials, somehow it all becomes my fault with him texting me "no one to blame but yourself." Neither professional, nor ethical, nor good customer service! Buyer beware. I'll never do business with Kevin and this rip off company again. - Markus Robinson, Tunkhannock, PA.

    Great finds for sure! Found these huge statues that were removed from the top of the Vanderbilt…read moreHotel in NYC.

    Lots of interesting things to look at/buy....something for everyone. Prices range from higher end…read moreto lower end. They do have a layaway policy which is nice and they will let you pick up your purchases later if need be. The staff is very friendly and helpful and hours are good. They are closed on Tuesdays.

    A really nice, large multi-vendor antique/flea market with lots of vintage finds. There is…read moresomething for everyone, including tools, toys, jewelry, home goods, rugs, art, advertising, lighters/tobacciana, even electronics. Little kids might be a bit bored but unlike many of these types of stores where it's a lot of old clothes and books, I found EOAC (may I be the first to shorten the store name to 'ee-oh ack'?) to be very diverse and was not bored at all while the rest of my family looked around. Prices can be hit or miss, and the sellers are not around in their individual 'booths' so there's no opportunity to negotiate, but given that this is a retail store, the prices were definitely not outrageous. Pro Tips: -We were there around closing time and they do shut down promptly at that time- lights off, doors locked. Make sure you buy whatever you're looking at before then. -There's a good amount of on-street parking along the side of the store, particularly the diagonal spots right around the corner, if you can snag one -The two-block area of Owego around the store is really perfect for strolling/shopping/hanging out. -The downstairs part is very clean and well organized, and not super-crowded with stuff. The upstairs is a little funkier, especially the side and back rooms (which look like they may have originally been employee break or stock rooms). Don't make the mistake of not at least taking a peek upstairs and seeing if there's anything you like. The only drawback I see is the second floor is not accessible; no ramp or elevator that I saw, only stairs (remember this was built as a department store in the 1950's). The first floor does seem wheelchair accessible though. So far we've been here twice and would stop by again if nearby. If you are a die-hard antique/collectible person, this store could be worth making into a destination all it's own.
