Every first Sunday you can find some hidden gems at Alameda Flea. From DVD, VHS tapes, rustic…read morepaintings, clothing, rugs to beer steins - there is no shortage of items. However, the parking situation can be quite tedious when arriving after 10am. The entrance fee varies based on the time you come in, with the most expensive being when they open at 6am ($20). My family and I got there around 11am and it was a $10 entrance fee. They do allow re-entries so long as you get a handstamp before exiting. Today was my first time visiting and I was taken aback by how pricey a lot of items were - especially the clothing. Many were priced higher than new items. The food vendors present were underwhelming. We had Donna's Tamales and it was quite bland and overpriced. They charged me $18 for 2 corn chili tamales. My husband and I had hoped to find some items for our new spot, but left empty handed. Not sure I will be back for how marked up the items were.

Have I found my new favorite spot in the Bay? I love interior design, tsotchkes and art, and I love…read moreold things. Narrative is all of those things. I could walk around and explore this vintage/art/home decor spot for hours. It's basically a coop of different, mostly home and art dealers displaying and selling their goods. Lots of mid century modern stuff. Although no purchases, it still was a great time. The one drawback: Bay Area prices. Still some gems to be had, especially if you value old and well made vs new west elm, but I wouldn't say there were many steals (although always in the eye of the beholder).

Security and bag check as you enter. She even laughed at my joke that my wife could fit a couch in my wife's purse, lol. Even when it was Bed, Bath and Beyond, the size always surprised me. Bathrooms I believe are in the very back of the building but I did not check or use them. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 7pm. Usually plenty of street parking, 2-4 hours free. But not today; it was crazy busy. We noticed a farmers market a block away...??? Paid parking garages are also available. Service - Friendly door greeter. Again, she even laughed at my joke, lol. Price - Depends on what you buy. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016.

Second, definitely negotiate. Lastly, if you like picking for stuff, you can find something. It's a lot of junk, but treasure is in the eye of the beholder, especially if you like tsotchkes. I ended up with a hand painted wooden duck decoy from 1981. It's def someone who randomly painted one, and not a priceless artifact, but I'm ok with that. I also ended up getting an old framed small print of a poem, and a vintage Thomas Stanley travel alarm clock that's currently not working, hopefully due to an old battery, but if it's up and running, I saw them on Etsy for $50. All three treasures for the price of $15! Overall, a gem of a store if you are nearby and have a few minutes to explore.

I fell into this intriguing Antique store on the main st. of Park Ave. It has 2 levels of pretty much anything ranging from Furniture, clothes, knick knacks and various things which are anything that constitutes as " antiques". I had bought a Hockey Jersey which has the infamous Friday the 13th villain but definitely in mint condition never worn. Sports memorabilia and Throwback jerseys and hats. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. It has something for everyone and also has reasonable prices.

I found the owner Niels of Montclair estates on the internet and he was great. Very professional, personable, experienced and knowledgeable. He is accredited by the International Society of Appraisers which is helpful if you need a legal appraisal document for insurance or other legal purposes. His brick-and-mortar storefront is temporarily modest for reasons you can read about on his website but more than adequate to meet with him so he can begin to evaluate and understand your appraisal needs. Thank-you Niels for the well documented 12-page appraisal I needed for the silverware from my parents Trust.

I read through a number of reviews prior to deciding on Montclair Estates. I'm very glad I did. I called in advance and set an appointment with Niels Dahl-Jensen. Upon arrival, he was both warm and personable, and really took the time to carefully look through my inventory. I felt confident to be in the hands of someone both competent and clear as to the silver's monetary value. My items were inventoried, and the majority sold within a two week time frame. Working with Niels was both easy and hassle free. I recommend Niels & Montclair Estates without reservation.

Whenever I glance at something in my home environment that consistently makes me grateful I acquired it, nine out of ten times it's a treasure apple I nabbed from Jeff's esthetic Eden, secured by sheer luck at walking in before another vintage sinner scored.
