I've heard of the Brass Bear when I've been to a few estate sales. So when I looked over while…read moredriving by and saw it, I figured I'd check it out. Kind of a mistake. It's a pretty big store, and there is a lot to see. I'm sure there are many fabulous items, but it's not really a place to "stop in and check it out." I think you have to both be in the mood/frame-of-mind to really look at everything and have the time to do it. You could very easily spend all day there. "Just browsing" isn't going to cut it. That said, I had neither the time nor the inclination to spend the time to really give it a good shopping. Instead I found it overwhelming, so I just politely walked most of the aisles only looking at the things that really jumped out at me. Because it was a Saturday, there seemed to be a number of vendors there, so I'm sure there are some interesting stories to be told, and they could surely help if you're searching from something specific.

I asked one gentleman at the cashier's desk if he thought a Vendor would be willing to negotiate over price of a specific piece of furniture and he quickly responded, 'Let's give him a call right now.' And sure enough, the Vendor did in fact work with me on the price and I went home with a chair I really wanted. Actually, there is a little bit of everything that collectors hope to see at the Brass Bear at reasonable prices. In addition, parking is free and convenient at the front of the store. Stop by one day when you have a free hour to treat yourself.

First things first. The pricing was PHENOMENAL. The day I went was 50% certain colored tags, although those were few and far between, mostly for less desirable items. Huge selection for clothing, as well as appliances that were reasonable (used 7-8qt Crockpot for $30, air fryers, etc) and decor/glass and plateware. I did not get the chance to see the books section but it was back there as well. Great mens section for dress shirts and pants. Unusually, they had a pack of paper in the paper goods/office/school aisle. Free Bibles in the front when you walk in. Several videos of third world scenes in Africa and what you donate toward. Worship music throughout the store. The ministry aspect was very apparent and actually made me a little uncomfortable, although we need more good causes these days. Not every shopper may be comfortable with the forwardness of that though, but I am very happy I could visit and see this new establishment!

The service has always been very friendly whenever I've visited, and there's a little bit of everything available for purchase. The clothing prices must be reasonable, because I've seen many women there looking through and buying mens golf shirts and such. The outside section of the store has lots of sports and durable medical equipment; plus there's luggage and pet carriers. But the book, music and housewares are my favorite sections of the store, because the prices are so low. I honestly can't believe I used to pay full price for fictional books - never again. There's also plenty of free parking that makes for an enjoyable experience.
