    Unfortunately, this will be my last time visiting this collectible shop. On my first two visits. I…read morebelieved I found a place to get some great deals on some older comic books. I found out on my third visit that I was sorely mistaken. Pricing items double what they are worth is nuts but not unheard of. Pricing items four times what they are worth is just highway robbery. This is when you have to step back and shop elsewhere. Al the owner is a nice guy. But... needs to change his business practices. Nothing is priced. He then judges how much the item is at the register. So be prepared for a unreasonable total when you bring him an item(s). On top of that. He will tell you that he is giving you a great deal. Which it's not. Shop elsewhere.

    This shop is awesome. It's definitely got that small town independently owned kinda feel but that's…read morewhat makes it even better. Hole in the wall vibes, especially for me who was willing to drive to Lakeside to check this place out this weekend instead of the typical weekly comic stores. I will definitely say this outright: COMICS, KNIVES, ART, HISTORIC MEMORABILIA, RETRO TOYS. These are the "amazing collectibles" that you'll find here. Quite narrow for a small local "antique" shop, but hey if you're into any of those things, this is the shop for you!! Al is an amazing guy. Very kind and friendly. I enjoyed our conversations as I was diving through his many bins. He is well-versed in all things comics, movies, etc. He is definitely aware of which books are hot right now and might actually have some great quality gems amongst his MANY copies of golden/silver age books that I've never seen before. It's a small space as seen in some yelp pics, but I was still surprised at many comic bins there were and that was only the back half of the shop. So many other neat things to look at like craft knives, autographed posters, jewelry. Easily spent nearly two hours here. He offered me a sweet deal on the comics I wanted; the bigger your stack the more he's willing to dock off the price. There are also boxes of slabs (graded comics) to sift through. Overall had a great experience at this location. Glad I was able to meet Al and company on this successful comic run to Lakeside! I'll be back!!!

    I needed more time after being here for 4 hours!!! I didn't realize how big this place was. It was…read morenever ending and at first, I wasn't sure where to start. The cool about this place is it displays many different vendors in one spot. Which I did not realize before I went here. Each vendors have their own booth/area and they decorate their own vibe and style based on what they're selling. I saw many different items that you can find here in one place. Especially for collector item as well. They had items for people who love baseball, Christmas, Goth, French style, bohemian, 90s. Etc. it's honestly never ending. I was able to find a few different items for my house and for my own collection. I thought the price were fair. And they also offer changing rooms if you wanted to try on some of their clothes. There were some displays that needed keys to get in, which was very easy to get someone to help you to open those cases. The lady in the front who checked me out was very friendly. This place was genuinely a great surprise, and I will definitely be back some other time.

    They had a lot of really cool stuff but I had an uncomfortable first experience. While I was…read morebrowsing, an employee followed me around the store, which made me feel uncomfortable. When I asked if you accepted credit cards, I was told the card would have to be verified by contacting the credit card company. I asked if this was done for everyone, and I was told yes. However, after reading other reviews and the owner's responses, it seems different customers are given different explanations of the verification process, which makes the policy seem inconsistent. Honestly, I only bought a $5 pair of earrings with cash, but I had planned on coming back to shop for more. Instead, I left wondering: at what purchase amount does this verification happen? Is it for every credit card transaction, or only certain customers? I wasn't expecting a simple question about payment methods to turn into a discussion about verifying my identity. The whole interaction left me feeling unwelcome, and I hope whatever policy is in place is applied consistently to every customer.

I only found this place because of Facebook Marketplace or Offer Up, I forget. They have a whole warehouse full of stuff from estates and they resell it or sell it on consignment. If you don't wanna go hunting around to different estate sales just come here. You can go in and look around or check out their eBay store too.

    We previously worked with Steve Mattson's Estate Sale & Liquidation Service and even recommended…read morehim to a neighbor, so we expected a similar level of service this time. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing. About three and a half weeks before we needed to be out of our rental, Steve came to review what we had available. We showed him many higher-priced, quality items and asked specifically about everything -- including food, supplements, furniture, a heavy fountain, and more. He indicated he would take it all and that we had enough to make it worth his time and effort. As agreed, five days before the scheduled pickup, his employee did a final walkthrough. We provided a detailed list of items we had already discussed with Steve and had even added additional items he had previously said he would take. Then, just two days later, we received a text saying this was now considered more of a cleanout -- and that we would need to pay him over $1,700. During a follow-up phone call, he said the items we had previously discussed were not worth his time to take. This was especially frustrating because we had offered to let him take only what he felt was worth selling. This sudden change completely disrupted our timeline and plans to be out of the rental by the end of the month. We feel the expectations set at the beginning were not honored, which put us in a very difficult position on a tight schedule. Based on our experience, I would advise being very cautious when making plans, especially if you are working within strict deadlines.
