Auburn Blvd Antiques

very little parking available. Actually had an employee unapologetically tell me to move my vehicle so he could park his UHaul van in that spot. When I asked if the business was in the habit of running off customers, he told those are the rules and not to get a F@&$ing attitude. Nice… Be aware this place is classless.

I agree with reviews that said this place is not worth the drive.
A staff that acts like they are doing you a favor by taking your money.
I’ve done a fair amount of antique shopping in the state and can tell you the attitude of the staff counts. You want them to be helpful and friendly.
I’m putting this on my list of places to avoid.

This place was pretty cool to walk through, even though we didn’t find anything to buy for ourselves this time. They definitely had some old silver and milk glass that I was interested in coming back to check out.
After we made the rounds a few times and were heading out, my bf asked if the place next door was part of Auburn Antiques and/​or if it was open. The guy made a disparaging remark about the staff at the other place that we both found unnecessary. We weren’t going there to make friends, we just wanted to know if it was accessible. I can understand competition but keep it professional, eh?

Some little treasures, or potential treasures, hidden amongst a lot of stuff that I was happy to skim right over. Decent prices. Friendly people. (Especially when compared to the whackos next door… see Olive Factory review.) I will be back.

Auburn Blvd Antiques shares a big iron building with Olive Factory Antiques. You won’t be blown away by ambience or anything, but there’s a good range of items… plenty of interesting stuff to look at and pick through. It *is* overall a bit more like garage sale-​antiques than fine antiques but it’s all good.
Random side note: used to come here all the time as a kid and recently came back. What the hell happened to the big yellow footprints painted on the cement? Used to be human footprints and big King-​Kong footprints leading up to the store… now they’re gone!!! Waaaaah

This place is not the place to go for any information on ANYTHING! Including what’s in the store. The man behind what may have been the desk was more than useless. After asking several questions it was soon realized that this man knew nothing of antiques. The store is more like a garage sale inside I barn… if there was anything there that was truly antique you would never know… neither would they.

Damn I’m not sure if it’s this one or the one next door since there are two shops right next to each other and my receipt was an antique too so it doesn’t even have the business name on it — just hand written and generic.
Well, this place is a treasure trove of stuff. Lots of random stuff — they sell cassette tapes, 8-​tracks, little kids school desks, and a ton of other stuff.
Prices are really great and if you like military stuff they have lots of authentic stuff here that to me seemed underpriced. A super-​nice older gentleman was working there who helped me out and it’s just the kind of place I like to support.
Go check this place out and the place next door and you’re sure to find at least a few things worth picking up whether it’s for a party costume/​accessory or home furnishings or kitsch.
