Dave’s Vintage

This place is the real deal, srsly.
If you’re looking for anything or nothing, go here. I think the best part about this shop is that the name is kind of unknown. I went in here one night after ditching Summerfest with my gal pal, and we roamed around for a good hour and a half, digging through piles of weird junk. I found some awesome fabric in a drawer of one of the dressers that the owner, Toni, let me have for two dollars.
My favorite part was the art studio that my friend and I snooped around. Toni said it was her nephew’s space, and then later I came to realize that it’s called Old Car Studios. He paints on the hoods of cars, and uses other unconventional materials like that. If you can sneak around and look at his art, do it. Really interesting stuff.
Anyways, when I was going to pay for my fabric, Toni let me take a look through some boxes she had in the back full of other fabrics. She’s super laid back, and being able to just chat her up is an experience in itself.
P. S. She has a pretty golden retriever that hangs out outside the shop sometimes!!! Pet him.

This is my kind of thrift/​vintage/​antique store. Not sure if its called «Paintball Dave’s Vintage» or «Toni’s Hoarders» as a sign says above the register.
This isn’t your corporate goodwill with tagged items, uniformed workers, and blah merchandise. It appears the store buys estates and brings it all into this small gem of a place. It is an old building with old items scattered across every inch. You have to dig to view everything. There was also a very friendly golden retriever roaming the grounds.
The only thing bad is that they didn’t have much clothing, I only noticed a few mens ties. They have a lot of old beer items, furniture, spoons, salt and pepper shakers, and TONS of odds and ends. I spent about an hour and half in this place and only left because my pregnant wife had to use the bathroom.
The lady there that day (Toni?) was very friendly in talking about what you are interested in and if she could help you find it. The prices marked aren’t anywhere near what she is asking (kind of odd) and was easy to negotiate with. Grouping items for a discount was great.
There was some mystery activity going on in the back of the store. Were people actually playing paintball in the back of the building store room area? Was there an auction going on? I plan to get to the bottom of this in the coming weeks.
I’m not sure how often their inventory turns, I wish it was weekly, I’d be waiting Saturday mornings before the door opened.

Imagine you’re a kid and someone buries a $ 10 bill at the bottom of the McDonald’s Playland balls and says «Go get it and you can keep it!» THAT’S what shopping at Paintball Dave’s feels like.
There are piles and rows of unmarked junk on two floors.
FIND: I found a six pack vintage cocktail glass holder that I re purposed as an olive oil bottle holder in my kitchen for two dollars. Score!

What a cool thrift store. I actually enjoyed the junk everywhere. There were great little treasures mixed in amongst the trolls and antique hats, so it was fun to sift through it all.
The lady behind the counter was nice and helpful if you needed anything.
I also liked the big dog out front, he was the greeter.

I thought I was in an episode of «Hoarders» when I entered this shop.
This thrift store is full of old items most likely came from dead people. I’m usually not fond of old furniture and collectible items because they carry the energy of the previous owners.
Some are probably haunted and full of imperil.
I didn’t feel good about entering this store at all because it was really stuffy.
The place is not organized and items not labeled, so it’s really tough to know how much some of those items really cost.
There’s some cool retro stuff though like old vinyls, Star Wars collectibles, 80’s telephones and retro looking type writers.
Be warned. If you are going to buy used items make sure you have the items blessed, have it saged and clean them really well.

My favorite thrift store… I could get lost in this place for hours! the first two floor are just packed with stuff and I believe 3 and 4 are the paintball arena. Also there is a small paintball shooting range on the 1^st floor, but the store itself is cool, its just packed with things they get at auctions, estate sales, etc. The staff is really nice and helpful, it can get tricky when there are more than 4 ppl in there b/​c its a pretty small space but defiantly worth checkin out

This is a quirky, tiny shop with no proper name to my knowledge. I believe the woman who runs it is Paintball Dave’s wife. (Antoinette, I think). She’s chatty, the place is always in disarray, but this is the place to go for vintage bar ware. A lot of the items are brought up from Texas flea markets, and the selection seems to change regularly. There is also an upstairs, similarly jam packed with furniture, bar ware sets, and old paintball props. The schedule seems a little sporadic, but its usually closed on Tuesdays.
