★★★★★
Went in Saturday for the second time, only in the area when kids have sporting events in the area. Both times have had excellent and friendly service as a buyer, have not tried to sell anything. I’m sure I will be back when the kids have an event in town again.

★★★☆☆
Lot of coins and paper money. You won't get top dollar but then again, they have to sit on items a long time before sold many times. Always remember…walk out if you think you're not getting a good price and go elsewhere. AND… don't believe everything you read on Google or elsewhere when checking prices!

★★★★☆
Always get a good deal for what I need to part with & they have some great pieces for sale as well! Most everyone is friendly here!
