The owner has a fantastic collection ranging from large furniture pieces to small trinkets and paper items, and there's something that should satisfy most antique tastes. Parking is a bit tight, but I'm guessing that the Norlina constabularies aren't too fussy about someone parking on the shoulder or in a neighboring street. I scored a nice brass railroad lock there for $25, and I'll definitely be back on my next drive through that area.

The really cool items to me is all the old cigarettes and cigars, there are literally thousands here along with lighters, etc. He has just about everything, many items from the 8o's, but just as much from whenever. It's worth the drive, when you see his sign, you must follow the 1/2 mile stone driveway all the way to the back. Mr Raeford's is very entertaining and kind. No prices on anything, he's a bit old fashioned and you need to throw out a number less than you are willing to pay. He has just about everything imaginable. i should have taken more photos of all the different buildings, his place is highly organized even though it appears random.

Definitely worth the stop if you're on 58 and like true old-school antiquing with alot of options and browsing with no pressure. The owner Steve is great as well, super helpful and allows you to browse at your own leisure.

I like the Treasure Shoppe. Although it carries some of the expected things, they're so reasonably priced I felt like I was stealing them when I got the total at the register. There's a little bit of everything here and it's all mixed together so I had no choice but to take time looking at everything. Treasure Shoppe has quite a few handmade goods from locals: jewelry, soaps, and miscellaneous decorative items. I wish I knew how people came up with these simple, yet creative ideas. When I saw the handmade knit shawls (and hats), I nearly bought everything they had -- the price was so incredibly low, there's no way the person who knit those is making a profit. They weren't made of the lightweight yarn using large knitting needles either, it was the heavyweight yarn, made with smaller needles that create a garment meant for warmth, not frills. The ladies that work here are incredibly friendly, chatty, and sweet -- everything you'd expect. Except for the guilty feeling I had for walking out with some cute things for a bargain price, I had fun exploring and look forward to doing so again.

Godwin's is worth the drive from Raleigh for the entertainment value of the auctioneers alone…read more Never mind the huge showroom quite literally _full_ of antique furniture and whatnots. Godwins is always full of antiques dealers, and I can see why; this tiny North Carolina town turns up some fantastic antique finds, and they often sell at a fraction of market value (at least, what I would consider market value here in Raleigh). It never takes much arm-twisting to get me out to Godwin's, and I rarely come home empty-handed. And ... a response to the other poster that felt no compunction about criticizing me and my knowledge of antiques: The other reviewer guessed that I've never been to any other area auctions. He couldn't be more mistaken; I spent most of my weekends shopping auctions, antique stores, antique markets and the like, from Northern Virginia to to Georgia and all points in between. I daresay there's not an auction within a three hour drive of Raleigh that I haven't been to and that I haven't bought something from. Now, to be fair: Godwin's isn't Brunk Auctions, nor is it Leland Little Auctions, or any of the other "higher tier" auction houses in the area (most of which I also patronize on a regular basis). In fairness, Godwin's doesn't try to be one of those, either. It's a bit like complaining about the local hole-in-the-wall restaurant because it's not Michelin star rated. But that doesn't mean it's a bad place; it simply means that you're in for a different experience. Godwin's has lots of junk. That's the nature of the business. If you don't want to see junk, go cruise Magazine Street in New Orleans or downtown Leesburg, Virginia, or any of the other fru-fru antiques alleys that dot the landscape. But, don't expect to score a nice antebellum era dresser in beautiful mahogany veneer for $200 on Magazine Street. In the two-and-a-half years since my original review, I've probably been out to Godwin's two to three dozen times. I can recall five instances when I came home with a purchase. I don't consider the other trips failures, though; the antiques business rewards people who are persistent and patient. That's hardly Godwin's fault; that's simply how the game is played. The other reviewer clearly has places that he enjoys shopping, and that's great. I just hate to see a legitimate business maligned because of one reviewer--especially one whose scant reviews on Yelp suggest that he's got an axe to grind instead of a legitimate interest in reviewing businesses. Mea culpa if I've mistaken him, but I'd suggest he grind his axe elsewhere if he wants credibility in this forum.

Go for laughs, but don't be part of the joke. If you think these furniture prices are legit you are being played for a fool. They ought to be investigated. If you want to go to ANY other auctions before or after this you will very quickly see the way Godwin does business is unethical and nothing like other auctions and gives the industry a black eye. Feel free to compare. This operation is rotten as it gets. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself.
