Fred and Daffy’s Antiques and Collectibles

The lady was sooo rude and not at all friendly to us and everything is way over priced. Don’t waste your time here it’s a mess and smells disgusting. I can’t believe it is still running with all the junk. All the stuff is piled on top of each other and most of it is damaged and broken. I asked her to go down on a price since the glass was broken and she rudely kicked me and my family out of the store. If I can give it less then a star rating I would.

A good little junky vintage store with a lot of estate finds. Prices can be a bit higher than most as it’s a couple-​owned business and not a charity shop but definitely reasonable. You have to sometimes dig in a few bins and drawers but I don’t mind that. It’s a lot like poking around grandmas attic. Owners are always nice and they take credit and debit cards which is handy for me since I hardly ever carry cash.

This place is disgusting. I literally don’t understand how they’re not shut down because I think it may be a health hazard. There is junk strewn everywhere and the girl working is literally sitting on top of a bunch of junk! I didn’t even understand how they weren’t embarrassed by their shop.
The girl here seemed kind, but that doesn’t compensate for the lack of health and cleanliness here. Plus, the place doesn’t have anything to offer! It’s all creepy stuff and useless books in poor condition. I seriously have no understanding as to how this place stays open, makes any money, or doesn’t get shut down by a health agency.

I have to disagree with the other reviews. Part of the fun of shopping for deals is the characters one encounters. And if you have never had to make your living by selling to the public, you have no right to criticize those who do.
Fred & Daffy’s is a quirky, fun little place to hunt for treasure. Maybe it’s not organized in a way that some folks prefer, but for those of us who have been purchasing old stuff for decades, that makes it more fun! And also more likely that you might find something valuable that was missed by someone else!
One reason you can get good value in a store like this is that they don’t pay someone to neatly stack the shelves, clean house, etc. If they did that, the prices would certainly have to increase.
Maybe the store isn’t for everybody, but it is for those of us who appreciate real people, a relaxed atmosphere where you are encouraged to browse, where they thank you for coming (even if you didn’t purchase anything), and you might find buried treasure.
Perhaps if you two who had negative comments were to approach them with a smile on your face, instead of trying to chisel them down even further on prices that are ridiculously low to start with, your experience would have been different!!!

how are they still in business? free rent? dirty junk strewn all over the floors. 99% of this stuff would be rejected by goodwill. unfriendly atmosphere.

Not much to offer really… Probably because they have zero personality and makes you want to just leave. The wife usually works the Jamestown flea market in Tustin and she is REALLY very un-​pleasant! I heard her yelling at a older woman because she ASKED if she could get a better price I’d she bought more than one of the items she was looking at!!! Not demanded asked!!! What a grump. Someone needs to tell her it’s a flea market and the items were not even in great shape at al. I attend that show and I. Don’t shop her stall. Her husband is a little friendlier if you really try and spark up a conversation in his store. He seems very bored and un happy. But being married to a grump might be the reason!

Fred and Daffy’s is a new shop in Old Town Tustin, but they’ve been doing business in the area (Old Town Orange and local flea markets) for years. They get a lot of their wares by cleaning out estates (both rich and modest). It is a big, random, piled-​up hodgepodge in there, so every time you turn around something different catches your eye. Photographs, books, jewelry, furniture, dishes, all kinds of things. I bought a large watercolor painting to hang in a stairwell, and got a book about Jacques Cousteau signed by his son. The owners (named Laura and Keith, not Fred and Daffy) are funny, laid-​back people. Sometimes when I’m doing errands in the neighborhood, I stop in there just to hang out for a little while. This shop is a great counterpoint to the other antiques shops in the neighborhood. Check out their Facebook page as well; they update frequently with interesting photos and trivia.
