I noticed several items being sold that were not authentic, including silver rings, necklaces, and…read morePokémon cards. I brought this to the staff's attention, and they were very nice; however, they mentioned it is ultimately up to the sellers to review their own stock. I personally identified about 15 rings labeled as real opals and silver that were not stamped, and one even had a plastic "opal." Owners should oversee their sellers' inventory to ensure that counterfeit or misrepresented items are not being sold. Based on this experience, I will not be returning, as many of the items were not legitimate.

Jerry Anderson, the manager of the Post Office Antique Mall sold me a clock which ran slower by 5…read moreminutes for a few days, each day, and finally it stopped working. When I bought it from him, he swore by it , that is working just fine . I paid $160 for a piece of junk , it turned out. More so, when I contacted him about the clock not working, he asked me to bring it back for cleaning , for free. In the end , after the alleged cleaning , allegedly done by Brian Gould, the clock was still dead the next day. I finally took the clock to a real professional who explained to me that the clock had never really been cleaned and he also explained to me what was wrong with it. The cost for the repair is in the ballpark of $150. In a nut shell, I will never set foot in that store and I advice anybody else to do the same

If you like vintage and antiques, this place is quite a treasure trove. There are so many items and…read morethey are placed quite haphazardly with no clear signs on what each aisles contain. Except for the records which are grouped together and near the door. Otherwise it is pure browsing. Some things are super old and yellowed with age. I guess this can also be an educational place to bring your kids to show them what the old televisions or stereos look like. I heard they may move soon due to rental increase and Steel and Oak brewery will take over the premises. So do pop by soon before a slice of history is gone.

But on my birthday August 2023 I treated myself to a reproduction horse statue that I later realised I was way overcharged for, as in, I paid $250 and the item is all over ebay for as low as $30. I won't go back there and gave the item away as I didn't even want to look at it anymore. I had regrets at the time even for paying so much for an item I couldn't afford, but now realising I can't even sell it and get my money back is a real disapointment.
