    We came here after moving my son into his Purdue dorm. We came here to see if we could find a…read moredecent fan or a fridge as those were already sold out in the stores nearby. Before its door opened, there was already a line waiting out there. Once we got in, we realized that all the fans and fridges were sold out. We just walked around the store to explore what they had. There was a variety of items, from office supplies to personal items. Some of the items were likely from lost & found, while some looked so brand new. They also had some Purdue spirit wears that might be from previous seasons. We were able to get some Purdue sweatshirts at a very cheap price, and we also got some office supplies such as staplers, staples, and printing paper. Those were all brand new but way much cheaper than we could buy from outside stores. Although we didn't get what we were originally looking for, I would recommend this store if you're looking to buy a good deal. You may also want to come before it opens to make sure that you get what you want before someone might grab it.

    Not for computers unless you really need something quick…read more There prices aren't the best. I wouldn't have minded paying the same as what I do online on eBay but their desktop offerings were $5-10 more than eBay offerings for same but with hard drives. Thats even after shipping. Still, it's nice to get it on the spot. They did have some i7 that were completely priced wrong. I could find eBay versions for $50-100 less for better versions. Their monitors were $50 for used dated models. It's possible to get newer models for a little more these days and at least you can return them. A budget model these days are better than those older models. Now for non-computing stuff it's kind of great. This is of course if you are into antique lab equipment (I am). Then it's worth a look. The microscope I picked up wasn't a bargain but it was a good price for what I got and was looking for something just like it. The furniture was hit or miss in value. Definitely bring a truck or large vehicle. I have a small car and there was an old mail sorting cabinet I wanted for my workshop. I only went once but I'm sure there are days where the bargains are better.

I'm sure the vintage apparel is all fine & dandy, as others have commented, but what I'm interested in is their smoke secsh. I've bought a few things from them in the past, beginning with a blue Sharpstone grinder I got three years ago. The threads have gotten worn down since (and I lost the little scoopie, sad day!) so I ventured back downstairs to peruse their wares. I found a medium-sized silver Sabertooth grinder for $25, which was less than other smoke shops in the area. The employees have always been helpful and chill (a prerequisite to work here, no doubt), and they treat their customers well. A few Aprils ago, on 4/20, they gave away free handpipes for anyone that made a $10 purchase, which I thought was awesome. They have a nice assortment of vapes, waterpipes, and one-hitters, too. Good hookah collection and lots of shisha to choose from, if that's your thing. Even after 'shopping around' for the lowest prices on pipes and whatnot, Amused still had the best deals in West Lafayette. Cool people and quality products at a reasonable price point. They've definitely earned my repeat business.

    This is a handy location for me to sell off some items that I no longer need. Selections and…read morebuybacks can be odd sometimes and some of the price quotes are laughable lowballs, so I don't always part with every item they wind up taking. I recommend trying out other locations, too, since what they might not take, other locations will.

Plato's seems to be in its own little world, many shoes I've seen here are not worth their price at all even in decent condition, again shop a little on eBay and much better deals abound. What is also very weird is similar condition shoes brought in to sell are rejected, they told me too worn out, why not just tell me you have no shelf space or something? Or make a low ball offer? The four items they did accept were given decent prices, always feels like an early Christmas to get cash from someone, but I wish they had an online option, upload photos and state condition for an estimate. There's no way you're going through my twenty items in a ten minute time to determine the condition. Again the items I've seen on shelves across stores from Plato's in Fort Wayne to Peoria Illinois over the years make no sense or pricing logic for what I am offered when I try to sell. This is what really bugs me alongside the prices on used clothing matching new!

Her husband Bill specializes in making spoon rings out of antique spoons ($35), some spoons are sterling silver ($50-$80). You can have the ring you select sized for you. If you decide to do this, it is helpful to be wearing a ring that fits well to give him a starting point. There are many copper handmade items that can be used as the charm of a bracelet or the pendant of a necklace. Each charm is geniously displayed on metal trays held on by a magnet. I bought a gingerbread man charm ($20) and it came with either a leather strap for a necklace, or metal links with a lobster claw clasp for a bracelet. Also on display, are sterling silver antique charms that Melody stated she gets from a reclaimer (if she didn't purchase them, they would be melted down). I bought a sterling silver spoon ring ($65) and a unique reclaimed handmade sterling ring ($15). I also found a cute hummingbird pin costume jewelry piece ($5). I got an attractive silver chain necklace with a marquisite cross and a Celtic charm all from her reclaimed section. This is a good place to get a gift at the last moment and a great store to browse frequently to see what's new !
