I dropped in here a few months ago to browse around. I've been right by here many times but I had never made it inside. Honestly I didn't expect much and never made it a pressing issue to visit. I was quite pleasantly surprised however. There are over 70 individual booths, most of which are practically over-flowing with antique goods, inside this 10,000 sq. ft. mall. You can find anything from old postcards, to bedroom sets. Of interest to me especially was the number of antique cameras, and apothecary wares inside. My father, being a pharmacist, collects old medicine bottles, so now I know where to go for gift ideas.
The folks inside are friendly. While you're wandering around they'll ask if you need any help, or if you're looking for something specifically. They'll also take anything you're carrying around off your hands until you're ready to pay.
I don't claim to know much of anything about antiques, but the prices seemed fair enough, and are set by the individual booth owner. The only thing I saw that seemed really overpriced was a .30cal ammo can which had an asking price of $26. One of the items I was interested in purchasing didn't have a price attached, but they were happy to contact the booth owner for me to get a price. Unfortunately the owner was unavailable, so I had to pass on that particular item.
