Steve has the right STUFF!! I was initially put off by this curiosity shop because many of the…read moreitems weren't priced. I'm not a fan of asking "how much is this?" each time I see a piece that interests me. But I was quickly won over by the owner's friendly, hospitable and inviting demeanor. He explained that there is so much turnover in inventory, and so much of it, that it's a challenge to price everything quickly. Ok, cool! Doubt alleviated! As we ventured more deeply into this cavern filled with treasures, we discovered lots of cool pieces that struck a chord! The shadow box filled with badges and medals was alluring, and the sports memorabilia piqued my nephew's interest. The furniture was fabulous, many one-of-a-kind pieces that would surely add flair to any décor. There's also a case of figurines and knick knacks that would make cool conversation pieces. Another large display case held teapots, teacups & retro kitchenware. Everything was well appointed with little vignettes hither and thither on every table and shelf. We were quite mesmerized by the place. It was clean, well organized and intriguing. My daughter gathered several copper pots and containers for her collection, as well as an unusual brass unicorn spigot/faucet that was delightful! My niece perused the aisles while my sis-in-law and I spied the jewelry cases! I found some sterling silver & turquoise earrings along with a unique kite brooch of onyx and mother of pearl. Sis found a dainty pearl necklace, a strand of long cultured pearls, & a pretty pair of vintage cameo earrings. I loved Steve's willingness to wheel & deal and he made our day!! The prices didn't put a strain on our purses!! We left this shop chattering about what a fun experience it was to enter this enchanting establishment! I dare you to leave empty handed!

This process went on for almost a month before we made the final purchases. Amy and her managers worked with us and NEVER ever put any pressure on us.

Never again! Nick the owner is a lowdown Jeckyl & Hyde! The woman behind the counter (his…read moredaughter?) was fine but even she cannot control this shyster. Frankly it's time for this man to retire before he drives away any more potential customers. My sisters and our children have dollhouses & there were several minis in a locked cabinet on the upper floor of Hey-Day. Most were stuffed into boxes on the bottom (you cannot see what they are) so we asked if the cabinet could be unlocked. Nick came upstairs & unlocked it. He spent the next 25 minutes in a breathless ramble about his ENTIRE life story... talked incessantly, barely drew breath & said repeatedly "Those things won't cost much, I got them in the 70's when a dollhouse store closed. I'll give you a BIG deal on everything. You can have a lot of that for free if you buy enough of it. Take all you like... " This entire time my husband & I sorted through old, dusty, dirty boxes (with several dead bugs inside) in a case filled with cobwebs. Plastic bags on some of these minis were so old & brittle they literally fell apart when touched- the floor had shards of brittle plastic bags all over it when we were done. Most of the minis were junk, with no value but we thought the kids would like a few pots, pans, dishes & used one of the lids of the filthy boxes to gather our selections. When finished, we returned every box to the cabinet, carefully arranged it (better than before) & made sure we didn't break anything. It took almost 30 minutes & when we were done our hands were black & we had dirt on the front of our shirts. We were ready to pay but Nick would NOT STOP YAMMERING, so we walked out & made our way downstairs. He followed, repeating "I'll give you a good deal! It won't cost much but you need to pay in cash". (HE WANTED TO CHEAT THE TAX MAN! Pay in cash = no State of CT taxes!) Downstairs we met his daughter & she pulled out a sales slip & began sorting through the box to tally the items with price stickers. My husband gave her a tiny glass duck from a downstairs case & they said they would throw it in for free. That was where decency stopped & the shady circus began! Nick, "Mr. Jeckyll" a seemingly "friendly chatterbox" turned into "Mr. Hyde"! Folks, you had to be there to experience the nightmare that followed! He insisted we be charged full price for everything! There was only one quality item in our lot marked $25. on the outside of the box and on the item itself it was marked $25. along with an $18. markdown sticker. Both OLD stickers were placed on the item BY THE FORMER DOLLHOUSE SHOP OWNER but Nick didn't like that the item had been marked down so he LIED and claimed HE put the "sales price" on the bottom of the item. No, he did not! He didn't even know or believe the $18. sticker was there until we showed him! At this point, it began to dawn on me that this guy is a shyster, a con man. He led us to believe he would sell us the little box of cheap, dirty minis for a steep discount. Most everything was marked $1. $2. $3. but he told his daughter "Those are all $5.00". What? For 25 minutes he insisted we were going to get a steep discount but now he's trying to charge us MORE than the sticker prices? He kept repeating "I have to get my money!" to his daughter. I wasn't born yesterday. It slowly dawned on me that this guy was shady. Shocked & disgusted, I almost walked out! When she realized this she tried to make him stop but he kept ranting that he had to "make money!" I removed a few minis from the box, having decided I would only buy a few and not let him get away with his filthy sham but his daughter clearly understood what he was doing. I explained the story he fed us upstairs & said we'd pay $30-$40. for the lot. She nodded & assured me she would take care of me. She must know he does this & she kept telling him "I have this", "I'll take care of it", etc but he would not back off. He pawed through the box insisting on OUTRAGEOUS prices until the total came to a whopping $70. for 1970's JUNK minis with little to no value, nothing collectible. They'd been rotting in that grimy, dusty cobweb cabinet for YEARS & he says "It will all be sold come summer". Another obvious lie! Finally we had enough & walked out. HE CHASED US TO OUR CAR shouting "How much do you want to pay!" but by then his lies made a transaction impossible. I wasn't giving him a dime after his failed money-grubbing bait & switch routine! LIE & CHEAT SOMEONE ELSE "MR. HYDE"! I'll NEVER go back! AVOID & BEWARE! Nobody forced your empty promises of a discount, it was all part of your slimy scheme. You should have honored your promise & made an easy $40. but your word is as good as the DIRT in your filthy cabinet! May your worthless minis ROT in that case another 39 years! This is how he deals with cheap minis! You would be a fool to trust him with gold, silver & jewelry transactions! AVOID THIS STORE LIKE THE PLAGUE!
