Customer Experience: 2.5/5 Impression of Items: 4/5 This is a quaint little shop with an array of different goods, from WWII apparel, to modern business attire, to antique collectibles. I had stopped here while on a 20 mile bike ride since it is a near a trail and a delicious outdoor food stall. What attracted me to the shop was a massive mermaid decor and how unique the shop looked from an exterior point of view. Upon entering the shop, the main worker was on her phone talking, sitting behind a desk, with her mask improperly worn. She did not greet me, so I just started exploring the shop, and there was a wide range of little trinkets, homemade masks, and upcycled goods. I wasn't looking for anything in particular but rather just explore the shop. The prices ranges, but, for some of the clothing items, I would definitely say they are reasonable. There was a professional blazer on the rack for $12 in excellent condition. The shop also sold mirrors, furniture, antique items (think of a landline phone!), and so much more. If you're new to the area and love checking out different places, I recommend dropping by here! They close exactly at their time even if you're mid shopping (I was informed to leave the store), so make sure you come at least an hour before closing! read more

Don't even waste your time. If this is a vendor based place the vendors would be horrified. Great stuff for the most past, prices were what someone would expect. There was a man in his 60s "working" and a woman same age unpacking stuff in the second room. The shop had quite a few shoppers. As potential customers were entering or leaving...no one spoke to them, welcomed them in or thanked them for stopping in. It's a shame. The store had Potential. It was very hot inside also, not where I imagined stopping in after a day a the beach for some light shopping. The atmosphere that the staff or owners creates in this shop has prevented me from ever wanting to stop in. Most importantly I feel horrible for the vendors there. read more

I loved this store until we dropped off some old doors for them to sell on consignment. We went back a few months later, some of the doors were gone, but I never got payment. I asked at the front desk and she advised they did sell some and that the owner would contact me. Never heard anything. I dont think I am owed much but I schlepped these 8 doors from PA for them to sell. That sucks. Go elsewhere if you expect them to sell something on consignment read more

I wasn't terribly impressed with my experience at The Old Screen Door. Whenever we travel (which is a lot), I try to get to different antique markets/shops and I often do a lot of buying. That said, I didn't buy anything because of how rude the employee (perhaps owner?) was. I followed around, told not to touch anything as if were a child and given disapproving looks at every turn. I finally stopped her and told that she didn't have to worry anymore because my credit card and I were both leaving. It was an overall terrible experience which is ad because from what I saw, they have some absolutely beautiful pieces. Though I won't buy there while treated with completely unfounded suspicion. read more

I went in here for the first time on Saturday. I was looking around at some of the items for sale when I saw this pot with broken colored glass in it. I wanted to show my brother the glass when the owner (I'm assuming) said to me "that comes all together and don't take the glass out of the pot, it really pisses me off." That remark seemed really unprofessional to me. Needless to say I left after that. This place will not be receiving any of my business in the future. read more

I've driven past this place a few times and have always wondered what it was like. So I came in to take a look around. There was a few things I saw and wanted to purchase and While in there I experienced worst service. Which is a shame because there was a few things I liked and wanted to purchase. As I was looking around one of the workers, came up and rudely said not to touch anything, treating me like a child. Now I don't know what stores you've been in, but this one, ruined the experience for me. I will be telling people to not shop here. I've heard other people say they have had bad experiences with this place, I'm just the 1st one to write something about it. read more

Then texts and says sorry we changed our mind after weeks sitting in my garage waiting for him to pick up. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL

There is…read moresome furniture such as a few tables and some chairs, but a cornucopia of decorative items from which to choise to make your home as unique as you are. Wall decorations, frames, and much, much more. I'll attach some photos below. You may experience some sticker shock, but quality and pretty beats cheap every day. There is a vegetable, grocery store attached, however I am unfamiliar with the affiliation, if any. The parking lot is tight and trying to turn left whilst exiting can be a challenge, so might be better to go along side the building or in the rear where spots are generally available. Check out my photos and then come check it out!

I know they…read moredon't have to offer one, but it would be nice since their customers are mostly middle aged women ( like me) and their husbands. If you ask the staff for a bathroom, they suggest you use the pizza place next door. Their store is huge and they have lots of customers and yet they can't offer their patrons a bathroom? Laziness on their part and really bad customer service. Give me a break! I hope this review is seen by the owners and that they make changes.

I was not a fan of this thrift store…read more 1) The merchandise was not great, variety or pricing. The shoes had prices on the bottom, but dresses and other clothing did not have price tags just barbs. I didn't see any signs detailing item prices so to not have clothing priced was frustrating as a customer. The housewares were all price marked. Shoes were marked as well, but in my opinion, they were high for a thrift store. 2) They literally turned the lights out on us to get us to leave. It was literally 6:03 (they closed at 6) and instead of letting us know they were officially closed, they turned the lights off on us and locked us in. What kind of business does that? Very ignorant way of doing business. And then the girl watched us struggle to unlock the door and had the nerve to say Have a good night as we left. Really? I will never return to a place that treats potential customers like that!

However last times we went there, the woman was very rude. Firstly she started throwing shirts I'd donated on the floor in front of my husband although they were in prime condition. then she wrote a description of what we donated calling it a "small bag of clothing". The bag was monster sized - I could barely lift it. also they stopped having senior discount on Tuesdays, and were very terse when I asked about it. And lastly they stopped dealing with books.

My earlier visits were positive experiences, and the…read moreshop still has one of the best selections of singles, slabs, and sealed product on the Eastern Shore. The owner has always been friendly and welcoming, and I've enjoyed browsing and trading here in the past. On a recent visit, however, I ran into issues with how card condition was represented. I looked at a vintage single that had noticeable whitening, surface wear, and marks on the artwork, yet it was described and priced as if it were in significantly better condition. When I raised concerns about the card's state, I was given an explanation of grading standards, but the asking price remained far above what comparable damaged copies sell for. That left me feeling that condition labels and pricing were not being applied consistently. This is not about trying to negotiate a lower price. I'm comfortable paying fair market value for the right condition. My concern is that condition descriptions did not match the actual state of the cards. I also previously purchased a card labeled as moderately played that had a visible stain on it. I was able to clean it myself, but had I not known how to do that, I would have ended up with a damaged card at a higher-than-appropriate price. I still think the shop has a strong selection and is worth visiting, especially for sealed product and general browsing. I would just recommend that buyers carefully inspect singles before purchasing. I hope future visits return to the positive experiences I had before
