Quite large antique store with an impressive collection, fair prices, ability to haggle over items $30+, lots to look at. The building is quite shabby, and the place can use a little bit more atmosphere, music, etc... and like others have mentioned, the owners aren’t as welcoming as they should be, someone needs to teach them some southern hospitality, I understand that it’s New Mexico, and in a bad part of town, but I really think they could at least be fakey nice. They weren’t that unfriendly to me, but I had a sneaking suspicion that I wasn’t the only one who found them a little bit awkward to interact with, haha!Great Antique store though! Just go in with your best manners and in a good attitude, and you shouldn’t have any problems! :)

Love to go here for a little treasure hunting. Lots of variety and reasonable prices. Large store and very nice proprietors. I have a couple booths that I love to visit for unexpected items. Take an hour and explore.

Nice little vendor mall. They didnt realize their closing hours were 1 hour longer on Google maps. They could of easily checked Google maps themselves and updated. Side rooms close sooner than main room. Very poor explaination of how u have to register with ? first, so u could use ur dealer resale number.

A large establishment with many great dealers with items at a good price. Those positives negated by the rude owners. Also, no one walking the store to see if one needs help.

Vendors should sell elsewhere - owners are eager to drive out customers, it’s incredible. Read the one star reviews and note the many likes on them. Will never be back.

The owner are very rude, attacked us with a horrible attitude no wonder its failing company. No one is welcome no matter who you are. Do not waste your day on people like that.

I like to support local and small business as much as possible. The store itself is one I want to love because they do have good stuff but the woman who operates the store isnt kind which makes the experience less enjoyable. Ive had a better customer experience at the other mom and pop antique stores in the area.

Always something cool to see here, I wish I could just live in an antique mall like this! Great furniture and priceless heirlooms at reasonable prices. Terrific selection of old vinyl records, bricabrac, collectables, toys and artwork. Very friendly staff!

Nice atmosphere tried to buy $10 &$85 dollar jar and lamp while checking out i asked about tax id. Lady told me I had to go online to do tax exempt after inquiry she became agitated. I expressed I had lived here my whole life and no one had ever shown me this paper. I wanted to understand she continued to escalate at this point it was rude and ugly I said out of state people will have a really hard time, dropped the paper on the counter and said nevermind. Walked to the counter and this is when she refused to sell to me.Said she was audited and that she would not sell to me. She would put it back in booths and it would sell eventually.

Review №22

Horrible experience! If youre a vendor you may want to consider leaving your marchandise in a different flea market because these people are extremely rude and chased me in my husband away with perfectly good money willing to pay for Our items. Before I could pay I had to run outside to get some cash from my husband so I set what I was going to buy down at the register before I walked out. the guy mentioned I needed to set down a purse that I was holding. I said I know and I went to put it back in the appropriate vendor box and as I was walking out all I said was wow because I was kind of shocked at how rude the guy was. I got to the car and my husband was almost in tears because of how horribly they had been to him. They had accused him of stealing and also had been very unkind to him because he had accidentally put an ashtray in the wrong vendors square. I got the money to pay for the items I wanted I was going to complain to the lady about their poor customer service, but before I was even able to get into the doors, she came running out and cut me off at the doors and told me I was no longer allowed inside and that she did not want my business! I asked her why, and she simply just told me because I said so thats why I cant believe how awful these people were. Ive never been treated this way in my entire life! no wonder there was no business there and if youre a vendor honestly I cant believe anyone would pay to rent space from these people seeing as they are happy to chase customers away at a drop of a dime! Not only will I never return, but I will be sure to tell anyone I know who likes to go thrift shopping to beware of these paranoid, downright hateful people!

Review №25

The lady is a con , she jacks up the prices on her merchandise. She switched the price on a purse we purchased. When I looked for the price tag it was gone. She also had rocks that she painted and had them labeled as genuine gems and crystals. We laughed

Review №26

Selection of goods is vast and items available change frequently. I advise purchasing something you like when you see it because chances are good you will miss out when you return to purchase at a later date. Happened to me a couple times hence Snooze you lose is a truism here. The owners are very good and always greets anyone who walks through the door. I also will add the owners have a great memory and will remember you when you visit a second time. They will prove it by mentioning something unique to you. Give them a look and a chance. You will be happy with what they have there for a selection of items.

Review №27

I cant believe that anyone would want to sell their items in this store. The owners are the rudest people I have ever encountered! How can vendors sell when the owners run everyone out of the store just because you voice your opinion. There is definitely something wrong with them. The man totally went physco on us for no reason at all!! He screamed at us like a maniac to get out!! His eyes bulged out and he looked demonic! HeMay have shut the door on us but others gladly opened them. We spent a lot of money at the other shops we visited! Vendors beware, you are losing a lot of business! Read the other reviews!

Review №28

Came thru the front door, before I had both feet in the store some voice was yelling across the room that I had to sanitize my hands and my grocery bag wasn’t allowed. No greeting or anything, couldn’t even see the person. No way to treat customers, too bad because I was there to shop for Mother’s Day

Review №29

So much stuff! Staff is completely knowledgeable! Ive noticed all the bad reviews. But just because 1 person types out a long bad review, doesnt mean that it happens to everyone.When I was in the store, I had finished my shopping and noticed and older women throwing a fit over having to use the hand sanitizer that they provided. The owner (male) cut off her attitude by not welcoming her to the store. How hard is it not to be difficult with people. There are lots of vendors and lots of customers. To write a bad review over hand sanitizer. Thats a cry baby move. You didnt listen when they nicely asked. Too bad for your superiority!

You can find some nice things here. You need to bring your own bag and packing materials for your purchase. They dont let customers use their restroom so go somewhere else first so you wont need to go while you are there..

Review №32

Good variety of vendors and things to see, but the customer service is a shame. I feel bad for the vendor selling Golden Age comics there. The tattooed lady working the counter just cost you a possible sale of a few books by refusing and letting me examine your comics before purchasing them because as she put it theyre sealed in bags 😮. Comic bags that are meant to be opened and closed that is held by a piece of tape.

Review №33

Good variety of things to look at here. I love going antique shopping I would come back here forsure. Friendly staff and I especially like the fact that they have you use hand sanitizer upon entry, that is important during this pandemic, and also post signs to wear a mask and social distancing.

Review №35

This used to be one of my favorite antique stores. I have found and bought some wonderful jewelry there. Yesterday my sister and I went in and were told we had to use their hand sanitizer (we are well informed of the pandemic, had our masks on). I told the lady that we had just used our sanitizer in our car. She said it was their policy. We used their sanitizer and started to shop when this mad man approached us and told us “if we didn’t like shopping there to leave”. (Why would we be in there if we didn’t like shopping there?!) He was a raving lunatic yelling at us to leave. I told him, not a problem we can spend our money elsewhere. I was shocked to be treated in this manner. To bad for the people who pay to have a booth there and have their customers chased out. Maybe they don’t realize that there are many antique shops around Albuquerque. We spent all day visiting other stores and leaving our money there!!

Review №41

My rating used to be a 5. I used to love going to see what they had in store. I would go in once a week and have spent hundreds of dollars there but today I got treated like a criminal and was told I couldn’t carry my purse into the store and was supposed to put in a locker! I was going in to revisit a coffee table that I was on the verge of purchasing to measure it (measuring tape in my purse), for my new house, and had previously purchased an end table and a dining table there. I’m afraid they might lose a lot of good customers by treating people with such suspicion, they have certainly lost me. Hopefully they will change their policy. They should just get cameras or something instead of asking women to part with their purses as they enter. Never have I ever been asked to put my purse in a locker at a vintage store or any other store for that matter.

Review №43

I used to enjoy shopping at some of the vendors here and when there are sales its a great time to shop.However lately customer service to me had seemed to become a bit rude and abrupt. I was in the store 20 minutes before closing thinking about making a purchase, but was rushed along by the proprietor saying abruptly that the room is closing (they have 3 large sections), shutting off the lights and the air conditioningon this 95 degree day.I moved to another room, and got the same treatment. 15 minutes before actual closing I was told to hurry along, as was a vendor setting up a few items. This made for a 3 star experience for me where before it was a solid 5. I dont frequent mediocre businesses as a rule, so youve kind of lost me as a customer with this nasty attitude.

Review №44

I have stopped in this place every week or so for about 4 years when I moved to ABQ. Along with many others and this is by far the best in town! The vendors here are consistent it never fails I always leave with many amazing treasures. It’s definitely a place you don’t want to miss out on. This is not a museum they actually want to sell there stuff, the staff/owners always do there best to make the price affordable if it wasn’t already! Mom n pop shops are far better then the big boxes.

I will not recommend working here to anyone, unless you want to deal with a pshyco path with white hair named Ellenor, the only one who has any sense is the owner. He needs to clean house and hire a new manager. End of story....

Great store! We moved here a year ago and have been in the store several times. Our first time in we were able to furnish a few rooms in our house with some seriously awesome mid century items. Our favorite booth is #62. If you are looking for mid century items for a fair price, definitely check it out. This store always has a great variety at reasonable prices. So far this store is our favorite store in ABQ.

One of the better Flea Markets in town. Plenty of spots and sections. They generally have a lot of amazing things available. At the same time however, in the usual trend of markets like this, there is a lot of overpriced junk but not nearly as much as several others (like many on Central for example). If you enjoy Antique shopping, definitely throw this into your regular visits.

Great shop; nice time killer if you need something to do on a rainy day or if you just want to get out of the house. If you want to haggle prices theyre nice enough to call the vendors for you. Customer service is hit or miss. One day they might completely ignore you and another day they might bend over backward to help out. Not sure why that is. Ive found many great treasures here and this place is big and is always changing which means youll never get bored searching for the perfect brick-a-brack for your home.

Collection of vendor sites offering all kinds of older/vintage items: jewelry, clothing, artwork, glassware, china, furniture, vinyl records...The aisles are narrow and visitors are advised to store large purses & backpacks in lock boxes provided for free.Prices are good, and haggling is limited as vendors are not present. I really enjoy searching through this medium-sized museum.

The store no longer has a restroom for customers, which is unacceptable for a place as large as it is. Meaning: shoppers will be in the store for a while and may need occasional relief. To stop shopping and leave, hoping to find facilities elsewhere before its too late...well, all I can say is that I probably wont be shopping there much (if at all) in the future.
