GREAT PLACE TO CHECK OUT WHEN IN REDLANDS. JUST DON'T GET TOO EXCITED…read more Why shouldn't you get excited? Continue reading below to find out why... I've visited here plenty of times before. Not often do I find myself buying something, mainly because I am usually searching for something very specific. Their selection on items here is very good. Moreover, this is one of the bigger places in Redlands for antique shopping. The service here is not all too bad, but I can't say it is regularly welcoming or friendly. I often feel no different than being inside a museum when walking in. You know, that feeling as if you are welcome so long as you do not touch anything? Or like that place you walked into at the wrong time unless you had some real purpose being there? That's the feeling! Moreover, it feels a lot more awkward buying something... AND IF you up buying something you really like, BEWARE! Please read my short experience: Quite recently I visited and happened to find a Polaroid Sun LMS. It was in really nice condition but the exposure button was jammed. I had one of the gals there help me get it out of the glass enclosure as it appeared to be in a locked glass window cabinet. I was thrilled about the find and it clearly was noticeable. I reacted as if I just struck gold! Moreover the camera was even to be discounted at 20% off - it was in the discounted area which was clearly marked. To the woman who helped me get the camera, I asked her to hold onto the camera for me as I wanted to check out the other cameras there... She held onto it for me at the check out desk which I returned for a few minutes later. Well upon checking out to pay for the item, a differently lady this time, took the camera and casually tore off the cute hand written paper price tag off in the most awkward way. I saw the price tag for a good moment just before it was torn off the string and crumpled into her hand... I swear I saw the price was written for $18. When all was final at the check out desk, the item's final price was not $18, it twice as much... $35 is what I got rang up for. The price somehow doubled. That was a really awkward feeling moment - you know, that feeling you get when you absolutely know you've just been jipped? I had asked if that price included the 20% off... to which the woman simply said "yes", with no explanation from her of what initial price I got the 20% off from. Her response was short and insincere. The whole check out process was ironic too because they have this really aged system for ringing up a customer. They use this older looking computer that looks like it runs some kind of old IBM computer system. Anyways, I doubt I got the 20% off, and I feel like I paid more than what they initially priced the item up for. I'm not usually the suspicious type but my intuition rarely ever lets me down. I wasn't going to make a deal about it though. People probably rarely buys stuff from here as it is. So I paid the $35. Lesson learned! THE LESSON: When shopping here, don't get all excited when you come upon something that excites you and know that you will end up buying. Definitely make sure you get a clear look at the price tag and walk the item up yourself... otherwise the price might take a hike when you least expect it. I hope this information helps you while shopping for antiques. Closure: The Polaroid ended up being worth the gamble and I wasn't expecting to find this camera. Oddly I walked into this antique store only hoping on the chance they would have a vintage Polaroid anyways. I'm happy to report it is in GREAT condition and it was worth the gamble. Everything works! The button was jammed because it had an old used original Polaroid film pack that remained inside it.

The merchandise you are buying isn't all from one person. Many sellers might share a space with their goods. I had a nice time exploring all the curated goods. This spot seems to have more variety than the other antique stores around town. If you ever need vintage bakeware that's affordable, I encourage you to try here!

As soon as I walked in, I went straight to the counter to look at the beautiful brooches. One employee was helping another customer, so I patiently waited. When she finished, she looked directly at me, rolled her eyes, whispered something to another employee, and walked away without acknowledging me. I continued browsing the store for about 27 minutes. During that time, another employee appeared to follow me around the store, making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Meanwhile, I noticed other customers being greeted warmly and offered assistance as they entered. I never received a hello, a welcome, or even a simple "Can I help you?" I had every intention of purchasing one of the beautiful brooches, but after being ignored, stared at, and made to feel unwelcome, I decided not to spend my money there. Every customer deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of who they are. Unfortunately, my experience left me disappointed, and I hope the management addresses how customers are treated in the future.

When it transitioned to online, it was a fun way to spend part of my Saturday while I did chores, running over to my laptop to bid as my items came up. It was always a pleasant experience when picking up my treasures; all the staff are so friendly and helpful, and insisted on loading everything in my van for me. Then I fell in love with a man in Palm Desert and it was time to downsize my 5 bedroom Victorian home in Los Angeles and sell it. The Redlands Auction staff made the long drive to come out and accepted about 90% of my offerings and spread them out between 2 auctions. I was more than pleased with what my antiques brought in, and it saved me so much time trying to sell them another way. Now it's a couple years down the road I am back in the buying market again to add my own touch to our desert and mountain homes, and of course Redlands Auction is where I turn! I have gotten some AH-mazing deals!

I was directed to their IG account @theshopspecialty , called the # on IG since the business hours was not listed . In their IG videos they specialize in clothing and vintage items, nostalgic fashion items and toys . They do stock seasonal clothing such has ski boots, ski overalls , winter pants and jackets . stop in to donate some bags of toys and clothes . We were a bit early the young gentleman was kind to let us drop our donations. He invited me in the store while he set up to open. My initial thought was the store smells so good with scented vanilla aroma , the store is clean, well organized . Price is comparable to other similar type stores. They do specialize in snow gears , by appointment only , merchandise selection is depending on inventory availability. Spoke to the young employee, he also me mentioned they own the Smile Time Party Rentals in the same parking lot. ( so if anyone is interested in renting jumpers, tables/ chairs and mechanical cow they definitely can help. Awesome owners , friendly people. Stop in to support your local business.
