The Antique Emporium is as Brandon F. explains - vendor booths with estate sales. Old tools. Classic glassware. Ancient tableware. LPs and singles. Books, toys, vases and just anything you can think of that's old. Prices are on the items. Maybe there's some room for negotiation. [Review 15920 overall - 3135 in North Carolina - 1425 of 2021.]

It is set up like a typical antiques mall with items provided by different vendors, so you'll see some items priced higher than others based on who the vendor is, but I found the prices overall to be good. I stocked up on vintage glass decanters that were priced well below what I would normally see at similar stores in other cities, which was surprising given that resort town prices are often inflated. We met a vendor as we browsed, a friendly older gentlemen who asked about the items we were inspecting and told us where he sources most of his wares, and the lady who checked us out was also helpful and kind. Lots of records and toys, but you'll also find all the variety of items you expect in an antiques market. Finding the set of chicken decanters and the world's largest witch's broom were worth the trip even if I hadn't scored so many of the decanters I was searching for that day. We will definitely make this store part of our itinerary every time we return to Sugar Mountain.

Was really fun to look around but sadly most of the booths priced things way too high. I'm from…read moreWilmington NC and our thrift and antique stores carry many of the same genre of items for half the price of what they were being priced at here. Left empty handed. Nothing was worth the price.

The boutique items like specialty soaps, handmade jewelry, and handbags made of recycled materials were priced at what you would expect at any boutique in a resort town, but the antiques were priced more dearly. A seasoned antiquer might find something rare (a couple of unusual radios and a movie camera would appeal to someone who appreciates vintage communications and media), but you're going to pay an inflated price for it. The lady at the front counter was welcoming and cheerful. Definitely worth a stop-in if you want a carefully curated souvenir or gift. I didn't find anything I wanted or needed, but you might fare better.

You can find pretty good deals on some items. For these reasons, whether you are a serious antiqu-er or just looking for casual exploration of an interesting new place, I'd say that Vintage Memories has something for you! P.S. The owner is friendly, conversational, and knowledgeable about the antiques. I bought a Royal 1941 typewriter from this store last year, and he gave me good recommendations on what is required to refurbish it.

She has a great variety of items from clothing to shoes to home decor. Her prices are GREAT! I got a pair of American Eagle jeans for $12. She is super friendly and very helpful and when you walk in she has a smile on her face. Since she does consignments I asked her about consigning my handmade goods with her and she was really excited about the idea. I haven't been to a thrift or consignment store that I have loved so much in YEARS!
