Antique Depot can be a lot of fun to wander around and look for good old stuff…read more I love good old stuff. The new stuff for sale in mass market retail shops is crap. It's cheaply made. Electronics break. Clothing pills. Everything feels flimsy. And who needs more new stuff when there is perfectly good old stuff about? Plus it's better for the environment, our finite natural resources, not to mention helping to support small local economies of merchants selling their wares. Antique Depot is a vast warehouse composed of scores if not hundreds of stalls rented by individual merchants. But visitors need not worry about such details. Simply walk around with a basket, take what you want, and when you cash out the Antique Depot makes sure the merchants get their money. I do love how that creates a variety of aesthetics, time periods, and merchandise from stall to stall. That said, there is a downside to this approach as well, and that's the casual racism. Now some might simply dismiss my concerns as vestiges of history, selling old family heirlooms that may not have been seen as racist in their day, but now... definitely racist. And to be perfectly frank, they were racist all along. Which is not an accusation that the staff or any of the merchants are racist in any way. I suspect they are just uninformed about the cultural sensitivity of such artifacts, or maybe they just don't care. Hard to say. But either way, the jarring nature of these discoveries (and there were multiple ones scattered throughout the warehouse) knocks this place down a star or two. On my recent visit, I went in looking for what I thought would be the impossible: antique absinthe glasses that didn't cost a fortune. What I found may or may not be antique and they may or may not officially be absinthe glasses, certainly they were not labeled as such. However, they are lovely, absolutely work as absinthe glasses complete with a dosage punt in the bottom, and cost only $5 each! Plus there are cats! Did I mention the cats? They have their own stall and it looked like you could pop in and give 'em a pet if you needed a break from your shopping. Overall a trip to Antique Depot is a fun way to spend an afternoon, just come prepared to see some culturally insensitive reminders of the past out on display. If you have kids, or if you are a kid at heart, don't miss out on the amazing pinball arcade in the same warehouse, but with a separate entrance a few doors down.

She, like other establishments in town welcomed my well behaved dog, and my young niece. I was impressed by the continuous additions to her stock (unlike some antique stores, there is not the same collection of dusty items there for ages!) I noticed she does move her inventory about in the store to maintain a pleasant flow, and marks things down if they have been there too long in her opinion. She has a mix of true antiques, items that stimulate memories of the past, and new treasures. There is something there to catch anyone's interest. I plan on stopping in when I am in the area, and also contacting her directly when I am in search of a special gift for my family and friends..

I'm going to be honest with you, I'm all about the thrift. I am always on the look out for a…read moresteal, recently I was looking for a bargain to snag some clothes that would be appropriate for work. It has been a while since I have bought something for work, and let's face it, not everyone works a job that requires fancy clothes. I had been out all day and been looking for thrift stores to hit up. The only one that I had been to in this area is a Goodwill, that is until I found this one. Fun thing about this spot is that it is housed in what used to be a Howard Johnson check in building. Still has the shape and all. It is a small shop, but it serves the purpose. Every piece in this shop appears to be handpicked. That was the one nice thing, even though I wasn't looking for something over the top, I found nice pieces that fit my need. Like many places, the men's section is rather sparse. Guess that just means that guys don't want to give up their clothes as much as women. That is basically the only reason I can't give this place five stars. I browsed the racks and found a few things that fit what I needed. For three pieces, I paid what I would have for one item new at any store around. I will definitely be back here, if only to browse. But I hope that if I do I will be able to find more steals.

The owners here must be high…read more Pricing is irrelevant and all over the place. I've picked up designer pieces here that I was able to flip for triple what I payed, sure. However next to that piece on the rack is a piece of mall-store godawfulness that is more expensive than an ACTUAL DESIGNER ITEM. Also, the attitude shown toward browsing (even though I eventually made a significant purchase) was curt, bordering rude. Seriously? This is Ebensburg, not Brooklyn, not even Pittsburgh. I'm not trying to use my Black Card to snag a personal shopper on Christmas Eve at Saks. I'm just trying to sift through your miserable selection to find something priced to quality that is worth purchasing. Go to Goodwill.

Of course when you tell family and friends that you are doing this they always tell you about different places to try. My dad had kept bringing this place up and I finally caved and made my way here. He had forewarned me that this place looks disheveled from the outside but to not back away. I pulled up and thought that I had to be in the absolute wrong place. I thought I had stumbled upon a hoarders property and that I may be trespassing. Well, I wasn't. It's just that this place has so much stuff in it that it looks like it is spewing outwards. Some people might say that this really is a hoarders paradise because once you are inside it is going to take you a very long time to navigate and look. Everything that you can think of is under this very large roof. It is kind of organized, but I'm not sure what type of organization they were aiming for here. Just when you think that you are done, there's more. I was a bit apprehensive to go into the other part of the building because I thought it was storage. It's not, it's just more items. Lots and lots of furniture, some you will have to climb to see. I could list the type of items you would find in here, but it would be way too long of a list. I mean, if you can think of it, they probably have it somewhere in here. Definitely worth a trip to the area.

There are tons of items to sift through, if you want a sneak peak as to what they offer check out their Facebook page, every so often you might get a glimpse of something you have been looking for popping up on there. Honestly, that's how I had discovered this little gem of a place. Once you walk in the doors you see just how much this place has to offer. The space is packed to the brim and then some. Everything that you can think of is under this roof. Just when you think you have gone through it all, turn a corner and discover a new space with more items to sift through. Mind the flow of customer traffic while in here. The aisles are small and cramped, so kind of go with the flow of how other customers are going. Be kind to one another as well, if you are holding up the line move along or at least get as close to what you are looking at to let others pass by. The hardest thing about this spot is not knowing what is actually for sale or the pricing of some items. I did notice that a lot of what is up for grabs here does not seem to have pricing and most times you will ask a price and be told on the spot what the price may be, it sets you up to haggle a bit over the prices. Also, not everything that is displayed on the floor may be up for sale. I had picked up an item, carried it all through the store only to be told when I asked the price that the item is not for purchase and it was going to go online for auction. Really wish that there was a section that was blocked off with such items so you know not to go through them. I didn't want to go online for an auction for the item, so I let it go. Especially since you know that there is going to be research into how much the item could be worth, you will probably end up paying more in the end. All in all this is a decent place to come and find an item from your past that you can add back to your life. Or maybe find something that will be useful to you. Definitely worth the time to come through and try to find that prize.
