If you visit Malcolm's store in Millwood VA, you will see thousands of broken, dirty, dusty and cobwebbed items marked with prices you will see only in an insurance claim. Hoards like these are where the good stuff is rotting away, and you can see some very beautiful items in those piles. Just don't try to buy anything for what it's worth, he doesn't like it. I have heard two Malcolm anecdotes. In number 1, a rich lady picked out two items totalling $4000.00. She asked him if he could do better, and I'm not sure what he said, but she left very angry, and without buying anything. The second anecdote is related by someone who saw Malcolm bidding at an estate auction. Estate auctions work like this: the items are first appraised at a certain amount, usually somewhere higher than retail, for tax purposes. The opening bid at each auction is based on this appraisal. No picker or antique dealer ever bids this price, because it is too high for them to make a profit at resale. After no bids are made, the auctioneer then lowers the opening bid to the point where bidding starts. The price realized is far lower than the tax appraisal, so the consignor gets to take a loss, pays no taxes and everyone goes home happy. At this particular auction, there was a set of four side chairs that normally retails for $150-200.00. The appraised value of these chairs was for $185.00 each. The auctioneer fully expected to get no bids at this price and that the set would eventually sell for $75-100.00. To the surprise of everyone at the auction, Malcolm bid the asked-for appraisal price of $185.00 apiece for the chairs. It is presumed he sold the chairs to a nouveau riche immigrant at one of the high-end east coast antique shows, for otherwise they are surely rotting on the front porch of his store in Millwood where no one who knows antiques will pay anywhere near a fifth of what he is asking for them. Enjoy your visit.

Their prices are significantly higher than those of any antique shop I've been to in the area. I'm a numismatist and while their currency selection is robust, the prices are a lot more than I'd pay.

I'm also a numismatist and wish they had a larger selection of coins and precious metals, but that is a nitpick. I understand that their vendors may rotate periodically. My party was greeted warmly by the ladies at the front. They were helpful and made the checkout process quick and easy.

I tend to stick to the Victorian era and prefer the unusual. The photos of candles and 80s stuff don't do it justice. There are plenty of cabinet cards and tin types, large charcoal portraits and pictures in the $20-30 range. Cabinet cards were 6 for $10! I saw a few older dolls at only $50 each. Ended up with a fairly uncommon embalming fluid bottle of all things. There's a booth at the top of the stairs with the lowest prices I've seen in a while for true antiques. It was nicely curated and balanced. My only complaint - and I don't know if this is an issue in the area or what, was the intense security. I really don't like buying when I feel like the shop assumes I'm going to steal. I usually go through stores twice and found what I wanted at second glance. When we checked out a comment was made that they knew we had already seen everything and it made me feel like I was being watched and I felt like the man was looking to see what was in my hands. But who knows, maybe they had a theft issue. Overall a nice shop.
