Raymond’s Second Hand World

I love any weird, disorganized little shop that I can browse in for days. There’s been stuff piling up in here for what seems like 20 years. Everything from books and furniture, old hats and scary statues.
I was in looking for a record player, which the nice owner helped me find instantly. It was one of those 3 in one, record, tape, and CD player. A good model but a bit old, maybe about 6 – 7 years old. The price was originally marked at $ 110. Mind you, the tape player didnt work, and the CD skipped but I wanted a record player that day. I was willing to pay $ 75 for it. Unfortunately the gentleman owner would not come down on price for me and I walked out. Here’s the crazy part: I found a brand new model that also had the capability to convert records to CD all for only $ 80 on sale (originally close to $ 200.)
Moral of the story is this guy marks his stuff up about 65% of what it’s actually worth. I saw lamps from Target that were only $ 20 brand new (I know cuz I own one.) They were marked $ 75!
He might be able to clear some space in there if he actually accepted a very generous offer for something that was worth $ 40.
I’ll still go back but I would certainly advise you to negotiate the price.

We went to Raymond’s recently because we drove by several times and wanted to see what was inside. A lot of items from estate sales, antiques, furniture, and collectibles. A bit on a pricey side and they watch customers like a hawk which is a little weird but I guess I would to if I had so much stuff.
Raymond’s is really interesting to look through… you will find yourself stumbling across something you really like. I can’t say I will be going back but it’s worth Unilocaling about!
