We were out for my husband's birthday on 10/26/23. We saw this shop and stopped in to take a look…read more They really didn't' have anything that interested us, so as we were about to leave, my husband asked the Lady if she had any coins. She said that she did and went to get a tin from behind the counter. The whole time she kept saying that she didn't really know that much about coins but proceeded to pull out some of the larger coins for us to view. My husband chose two of the $1.00 coins she showed him and some small change. After looking them up on her phone, she told us $40.00 for the 1900 dollar and then said $150.00 for everything he had chosen to purchase. The second coin was dated 1797 Trade dollar. When we got home the next day, I looked them up for him to check the values. My first clue was when I could only find "Trade dollars" minted in the 1800's. I then dug deeper and found out that it was a fake. After reading information on them, it was suggested to put a magnet to it to see if it stuck. Well, it did! I immediately checked the 1900 coin also. Guess what? Fake also. Lesson learned for $150.00 is always carry a magnet with us and have the equipment you need to verify what you have in your hand. I'm just glad we didn't get taken for any more than we did. Buyer beware is the right phrase for this shop!

I have paid a visit to the store twice. Twice, as noted in other reviews, the shop owner does not…read morekeep the hours posted. Even with a sign on the door stating closed returning at a specific time, if you return after that time, they are not always open. The door will be locked and if you knock, no one answers. The first time I did this, I had to call and spoke to somebody. The second time however, I did not bother. The store does have a decent selection of mostly jewelry items for sale. If you were looking for antiques, this is not a traditional antique store.

This antique shop is not quite like the others…read more First, it's a second generation shop (passed from mother to son) and has been around for decades. They specialize in antiques mostly 100+ years old. But what is really special (given that you're not in a rush) is the shopkeeper/owner Michael. He is quite a character and is always willing to share his knowledge on anything you ask regarding antiques. He is very quirky but has a very sweet and earnest demeanor. He can talk about just watches for an hour + and never rushes you out. I think his life goal is to saturate his visitors with knowledge! Also noteworthy is that this building is a protected historical site because it used to be the old Metuchen firehouse. If you ask (and sometimes if you don't ask), he'll give you the full tour (a nice history lesson, no charge). If you like learning about historical buildings, make sure you stop here! There is one thing that might need mentioning though--- the shop was on hiatus for a few years so there is some deterioration on the walls and it's a bit more cluttered than it used to be. So do pardon the appearances--- but don't fret about that as if you tell him what you're looking for, he'll probably be able to direct you to the correct pieces! PS. It also helps to call his number just to make sure he'll be there!

The prices are higher than other thrift stores like goodwill, unique, etc. but they do offer an extra discount on certain colored tags. This is the second inspirations location I've visited and I would definitely come back. I got a gorgeous wool-like coat for 28$, which again is more pricey than the typical thrift, but it's in great condition and is super cute so I think it's worth it! This store is not huge, the women's section is the first floor, there's a few steps up which leads you to the shoes, men's, and kids areas. The shoes also had great brands like doc Martin, Michael Kors, DKNY. The purses were good as well! I'd definitely come back!

I also feel the prices at Homegoods are higher than that of Walmart, so I usually head there after I'm done shopping around. Granted, you can always find more unique items at Homegoods, but I would never shop here for every day items such as sheets or a shower curtains. Those items can be found elsewhere. This store was pretty messy and sales associates just go through the motions. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a good store to browse through, you may leave with something fun. If you're not finding anything g for the home, just move on over to the Marshall's side and look through the clothing section.
