    I think this is probably the best antique store I've ever been in. My wife and I actually enjoy…read morepopping into different antique stores while we are traveling to see if we can score a new treasure for the home. We kind of came across this place by accident looking for a boutique that we were going to go check out. As it happened, the boutique, was actually located in one of the booths at the antique mall. This place was massive, with three floors to explore. Booths on the lower floor are very clearly marked, and kind of cool, they have some locked glass cabinets that have items that would be considered a little more rare. Really, a ton of stuff that we both liked looking at while we were here. As we expanded the search upstairs, it didn't feel quite as structured as the lower floor, but all items have a sticker with a booth number, so if you are questioning what booth it came from you can figure it out pretty easily (this may be of importance if you think an item came from a booth that is running a sale). The staff were friendly and helpful and let us store some stuff on the front counters while we continued exploring. Only reason for a deduct on the review rating, the AC was virtually non-functional on the top two floors - It was was too warm up there. Otherwise, this place is really pretty awesome!

    If you enjoy antiquing, shopping local, or home decor, you may wanna check out this place. This new…read morelocation is quite large, it has 2 floors and it looks like it used to be a school so the building itself has some charm. They have several vendor stalls, but you are free to roam around and pay at the register by the door regardless of which stall you purchase from, plus no annoying sales people! Lots of parking, near downtown in a charming old neighborhood. They have events every few weeks, including farmers markets, so keep an eye on their socials.

    This was a lovely establishment but I will likely not return and this is why…read more I found four prints that were listed as "SPECIAL SET OF 4 / SPECIAL $40.00". Next to these two stickers was a third sticker that stated "Complete set of 4 $160". As I checked out at the front of the store, I wanted to make sure that the vendor was getting paid what they were owed. I didn't bargain down or argue for the $40, I made sure the cashier knew that there were two conflicting prices and that I didn't want to shortchange the vendor. Upon first asking if the $40 was the correct price, she stated loud and rudely, "IT SAYS SPECIAL FOR FOURTY DOLLARS." This was all she spoke while making direct and antagonizing eye contact. I acknowledged her words gently and kindly, that I indeed saw that sticker but also noticed that there was a conflicting price tag NEXT to the $40 one. The more expensive price was not crossed out or written over, they were listed next to each other. What I didn't say, but was hoping to clarify, was whether the store was okay being on the hook for the extra $120 if they were only going to charge me $40. The cashier simply repeated the same words, louder this time, and very condescending in her tone and manner, "IT SAYS SPECIAL FOR FOURTY DOLLARS" and pointed to the sticker to make her point even clearer. She said nothing else. I paid without further comment. As she bagged up the four prints, she included the additional document with the price stickers on it. I inquired if she wanted to keep the ADDITIONAL document with the price tags and booth label (for her records), making sure she didn't slip it in by mistake. Her tone, still very loud and now even more condescending, resounded as she said, "I WON'T BE REMOVING THOSE STICKERS BECAUSE THEY WILL DAMAGE THE PAPER." I wasn't asking her for a lesson on how adhesive works, I was simply trying to allow her the opportunity to keep the documentation for the vendor and the store to prove that she charged me for the discounted price. I've grown up in antique stores. My grandmother and mother both currently own/have owned their own antique establishments, so I'm familiar with the protocol. Maybe their protocol is different. My bad. I did not respond further and took the bag gently from her hands. It could have been the simplest and most pleasant interaction though. "Oh I see that there are two conflicting prices here. Let me call the vendor and verify that this one is correct." Or perhaps "We are told to take the lowest price listed on each product, so I can guarantee this is the correct price. Thanks for the concern though! I appreciate you looking out for the vendor!" Something, ANYTHING, more pleasant in terms of tone and word choice, would have been a better experience. I have also been in her shoes. I have worked in marketing and customer service for the past 20 years. I have worked a front desk, many, many times. I have been a cashier. I have been the rep who answered tweets at 11pm where a customer needed toilet paper sent to their hotel room. I know what it's like to deal with belligerent , arrogant people, with people who actively try to make your life a living hell because you work behind a desk, behind a screen, behind a uniform. That was NOT my intention, and that's what I think stung the most. In being kind, in being thorough, I was treated with contempt. Maybe she was having a bad day. Maybe I caught her in a moment where she had just dealt with someone difficult and assumed I was the same. There are a number of reasons why this transaction was so unpleasant. "Give her some grace!", the masses might cry. And I might agree with you. Normally, I would. But she was old enough to know better. The job she holds is not one that is difficult to execute, nor difficult to execute PROPERLY. Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe I shouldn't have let this seemingly small incident make such a huge impact. Or maybe, just maybe, this could've turned out so drastically different if this young woman had exercised the bare minimum and just been kind to me in return.

    My husband and I have been here before with family. We live in Metro Atlanta and it had probably…read morebeen 5 years since we had been back. My husband asked if we could go before it turns cold, so I booked a hotel in Gadsden and we had a wonderful overnight trip. Love Collinsville Trade Day flea market as there is always something for everyone. We walked to the top of the hill where the live animals are sold and made our way down and around the isles. We weren't shopping for anything in particular but got some good deals. It was a perfect cool/breezy/sunny October day which made it even better! Alabama is a lovely state! We will return and hopefully before 5 years pass! Get there early because people start packing up before noon.

    This flea market is like no other. I'll do my best to describe it to you…read more It's located far up highway 11 in northeast Alabama. If the drive is less than two hours for you, it's definitely worth it. They honestly have everything from cribs to coffins. In fact, that's actually one of their catchphrases. When you pull up, don't resist the urge to turn around. Go ahead and pay the $1 to park. As you get out of your car in the grass parking lot, you'll be looking at what can only be described as a shanty town... at best. It's what you'll find in these shanties that makes this place special. Are you looking for a goat? Maybe a new shirt, some advil, a poster, a bike, a remote control car, a remote control, some jelly, a loaf of bread, chainsaw oil, a pig, or a book on how to speak pig Latin? This is your place. Make the trip to Trade Day. Just trust me.
