Leisure World Consignments

Love love LOVE this store! I shop many consignment stores but this one is completely unique. It has high end antique furniture, jewelry, and collectibles. I saw cut glass pieces (l NEVER see these anywhere except ebay!), Lladro, Lalique, Murano, Baccarat, and other fine crystal pieces. They had some sterling silver spoons that were so fun to paw though and beautiful pieces of jewelry. They also had furniture, but l am not much in the market for any large home pieces. Though someday, when l upgrade and get an extra 1,000 or so square feet, l will totally be coming here. Lol.
A set of Lalique bullfrogs caught my eye for two reasons. One, I am a collector of frogs and two, l adore Lalique and have a couple pieces. I didn’t know how much these frogs ran in the Lalique store, but later, l went on eBay and saw that this store is selling the Lalique frog for an average of $ 100 less than the other sellers on eBay! So some may say expensive, but it is all relative. They sell these for WAY less than Lalique, and even less than eBay sellers. Plus you can save on shipping. I like real math and smart buys. This is a complete win-​win. So some ppl may say this store is expensive, but if you KNOW your stuff, you will find that their prices are actually really good. Most customers don’t know the actual cost or retail cost of these items. They just see the price tag and get sticker shock because they didn’t think something so small could be worth so much. Well if you know your stuff, you’ll find that their prices are pretty competitive. If you don’t believe me, just do like l did, and do the research.
I ended up finding some crystal magnets which were part of the same set l found 10+ years ago at Marshall’s and Marshall’s charged me $ 15 for just the two. The owner quoted me $ 5 so l was very happy with that! I ended up going to pay for them and the owner said l could have them for FREE! Like, what!!! I was floored! We got to talking and they were very kind, personable, and knowledgeable. I would definitely be back due to the customer service and excellent finds, alone.
I ended up sticking around longer because my mom was going through the silver spoons and l also ended up finding just a handle and was thrilled because it would work perfect for my hair, like a hairpin. My mom and l went to pay and because my handle had no stamp of sterling, they gave me it for FREE! Ultimate score this trip.
Long story short, this store has the most beautiful items l have seen at a consignment store and l shop at them frequently.
We never would have known it was in this shopping center because it is such a hidden gem. Definitely add this store to your list of must-​shop-​at stores. It is WELL worth the trip. I cannot wait to come back! Happy Hunting!

An interesting place, meaning just interesting.
I’ve been quite a few consignments stores before, mostly in Connecticut.
To go in a consignments store you usually want to look, as I always do.
When I walked in to this one, I was surprised for the gold framed plates, tables, mirrors and all. It almost looked like in between fancy antique shop and other consignment shops.
Old ladies with sharp eyes followed me around. Everything looked pretty expensive.
The stuffs here must from the old people who used live in the Leisure World.
After they died, their kids sold stuffs from their parent’s to this shop.
Convenient location, then again wondering old people living here now,
are they buying these stuffs?

As other reviewers pointed out, extremely RUDE, condescending, arrogant, disrespectful, old Jewish 85 – 90 year old Grandma’s running this very overpriced old antique junk place. The owner and her mother follow you around like a dog in case God forbidden accidentally touch or drop their junk. I bought some ordinary stuff as my mom was with me and I wanted to make her happy. Never again, I found the same stuff online and in Downtown Orange for ¹⁄₃ of a price. So please don’t bother with this junk hole. Let the 90 year old grandma have it… I bet she is waiting to sell it to her kids and grandkids. Really disgusted of this place and especially with the old woods that are running it… Good luck Golden Girls with selling your junk as you need all the luck, Cause I saw the same old crap on the table sitting since 8 years ago!!!
Please don’t waste your time here.

Leisure World Consignments, and specifically, Becky, came highly recommended to me, and I was very pleased with my experience. There is a lovely selection of jewelry, paintings, silver, crystal, etc.
I am very surprised at the some of the unpleasant, and quite frankly, ugly comments on here — my experience was very good. Keep in mind that the service is very personalized — so yes, if other customers arrived before you and are being helped with items that are in glass cases behind a counter, you will need to politely wait your turn. If you were well brought up, this won’t be a problem for you:) Becky was busy when I came in — I had wonderful time perusing with my daughter until Becky was free to examine what I wanted to sell.
I enjoy all types of thrift stores yet keep in mind this is not The Salvation Army or Good Will — this is a high end (although there are deals to be found) consignment store. The employees of the store do not set the prices for most of the items — this agreed upon by the owners of the merchandise who bring it in to have it sold. For those items owned outright by the store, it is not a market to haggle about prices and it is inappropriate to argue with the store employees about this. I will be coming back again and again — Becky is honest, forthright — and kind.

By far the best consignment /​antique shop in Southern California. Such an incredible inventory of top notch arts and antiques. In my opinion, very reasonably priced. Owner Becky is the most fair– honest– and nice person in the industry. I guess that’s why she has been there over 25 years! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to buy antiques or sell antiques.

Keep coming back to Leisure World Consignments because I always find new things and the inventory is constantly growing. Not sure why other reviews mention the owner, Becky, as a rude person because that is the opposite experience I’ve had on the several occasions I’ve stopped by.
I have found Waterford and Lalique crystal ware and leatherbound books from some of my favorite authors, as well as beautiful costume jewelry and everything seemed reasonably priced. Becky definetely has an eye for the exotic treasures. If you’re looking for TRUE antiques and collectibes you have to shop here because you will not be dissapointed!

Rude! Arrogant! We walked in and were the only customers, three staffers, one looked at us from a distance, one stared at us without saying a word as we stood across the counter from her and the other didn’t even raise her head to acknowledge our existence! You could hear a pen drop, yet not a word! Felt very unwelcomed, Walked away from deal. Didn’t trust them. Never again. Spend your time and money elsewhere. Don’t waste your time!

I agree with the other reviewers – staff are not friendly and prices are very high. I give the place two stars because at least there is some interesting/​nice stuff there. I did not experience outright rudeness, but no one greeted me or asked if they could help me find anything, despite the fact that there were at least three people working there. I was primarily looking at books and most, if not all, were priced well above normal retail value. It seemed like someone must have just invented prices at random, and whoever they were they had a particular fondness for pricing things at $ 35 – even if they were common titles easily found elsewhere for $ 10 or $ 15. Won’t be back.

great place, great prices, great service!!! This store has the grandest entrance that I had the pleasure of walking through and the sweetest elderly lady that God had put on this earth. The day when I first visited this place I walked in with barley enough money for lunch let alone the type of jewelry I was looking for, but I thought I was just going to look around. After walking through the threshold I was immediately give a very warm greeting (which was very much needed do to it was raining that day). they were very attentive in helping me find what I needed and it wasn’t long till I found that perfect gift. After explaining that I didn’t have enough money it get the ring that we found I remembered I had twenty dollars at home from a christmas card, and asked them if they could hold it from me while I got my money, they were more than grateful to do it. So I ran home and was back within thirty minutes. Being that I had twenty something dollars and the ring was only ten (super price by the way) I decided to look around some more, they were fine with that and even found a box for my ring. at the end of the day I walked out of there with a ring, a gold plated chain, and a sword (but thats another story). I all this is the best little shop that I’d had the pleasure of calling myself a recurring costumer at.

Horribly rude service!!! And outrageous prices! Amber C. hit the nail on the head with her review!
My mother saw a charm bracelet that she liked (which was horribly overpriced), so I called to inquire if they might negotiate the price. A cranky elderly woman rudely told me that there are no negotiations and refused to even call the seller and present my offer. My offer was much more than a used charm bracelet was worth… and it was scoffed at by this hoity-​toity woman, who obviously knows nothing of customer service, nor cares to make a sale. I only offered as much as I did because I wanted to surprise my mother, who thought this bracelet reminded her of one her beloved deceased aunt had.
My mother also mentioned to me that when she was in the store, she was treated like a second class citizen because she wasn’t wealthy looking.
Don’t shop here unless you want to be ripped off and treated badly.

Will not be back due to being overpriced /​inflexible. Good selection but managed poorly. The owner does not allow the store employees to set prices on non-​consignment items that the store owns outright, therefore if you are interested in something, you must wait around a long time for the owner to get around to talking with you. She gave me her price then walked away. Did not even wait for my reply. Unrealistic prices. Not open to negotiation. A couple employees are rude. You basically have a bunch of elderly people wanting top dollar for their dirty old, broken items. Just go to the Orange Circle instead. The shops are run much more efficiently.
