Items from the shop were placed online. I reached out letting the owner know I was interested and…read moreasked if the items were still available, understanding that I might not be the first to comment. The lister then said that it WAS available - this was after the shop had already closed for the evening by the time we were communicating. I was working out with the owner when I could pick up based on her open hours - telling her my best convenience but ultimately letting her know that I'd rework my schedule with whatever works for her since it was something my daughter really needed. She said she'd get back to me in the morning with the time that would work. I didn't hear from her so I checked my messages to see that she marked the item as sold. I, of course, figured she had marked it sold for me (giving her the benefit of the doubt) and asked her if she had figured out when I could grab the items and she told me she had sold it. In hindsight, there was one red flag when we were communicating as she said "a ton of people want it". If that was the case, then I imagine it wasn't really available and/or we were being scammed. I was disappointed to say the least. If she had told me that I had to get it the second she opened, I would have called off work to grab it. She didn't. She simply said she'd get back to me with the time that worked for her. If it wasn't available, she should not have said it was. This is not how a shop with integrity works.

While traveling through Erie on the way home I figured I would get in some thrifting; luckily, I…read moreended up at Mel & Tee's. Located just off Peach Street about 1 1/2 miles from I-90 I found Mel & Tee's easy enough. The front half of the store is mainly a hobby shop, some cool stuff but not what I was looking for. Luckily there is a door to the back of the store which is stuffed with a wide variety of items, collectibles, furniture, home goods and enough to keep you looking for a little while. For me the only item that interested me was a vintage wood stick puppet from Java/Indonesia. The puppet stood out as a very unique and high-quality item, although it did have a bit of damage to one of the hands. The price was about right, but a bit more then I wanted to spend. Luckily I started talking to the very nice lady at the register and she said that they were willing to deal on the item. I made a bid at the lower end of what I thought was fair and she accepted. I ended up getting a great one-of-a-kind item at great price. If you are looking to check out a local thrift store in Erie, Pa. I would suggest giving Mel & Tee's a try, not the biggest place but the fun is finding something you never expected; also really nice when you can negotiate a bit to get what you want.

During our visit, this shopping center had an adequate number of parking spaces for us to park our vehicle. The buildings looked to be in very good condition. We do not live in Erie, but this shopping mall had some snack foods and beverages in the Giant Eagle, restaurants' meals, a bank for an ATM, and a hotel for our stay.
