A thread to just drop into with some news or photos or whatever !!

I see what you mean! What kind of skull is that first pic? Don't worry, I won't be shopping there...

The first pic is a Vervet Monkey skull.
I have a lot of pics of the store.
I will spare you the horrors that dwell within...well most of them anyway...

I was at an antique store today and the woman at the register said "Oh, you must be a decanter collector!"...and I was like 'Nah...', and I look down and I'm buying a bunch of decanters. Oh snap....

Well anyway, they're lovely decanters.

Well anyway, they're lovely decanters.

Lol thanks!

Side Story:
I was at an antique store today and I put a UV reactive decanter aside in the 'holding area' so I wouldn't have to carry it. When I came back to the register for check-out: I saw the owner examining it intently and he told us that we would have to wait because the 'price was wrong' and he was researching the 'correct' price (on his smartphone).

I told him that I thought consignment stores were selling stuff for their vendors and not lining their own pockets by raising prices on items at checkout. He flushed super red and stared at me-enraged, and I stared back smiling. I thought we were going to have a problem, but, he begrudgingly rang up the sale and then flung the receipt at me and stormed off... I checked Google Reviews of the store and a small percentage of visitors have had similar issues with him. We won't be returning there for a long time.

In hindsight: the owner had been creeping on my gf and I while we were looking around, he must have seen the glass glow green under my UV light. Manganese is not Uranium: he was probably having trouble figuring out why it glowed green for us...and how much he could jack up the price for that...

Way to go, L.S.!

Way to go, L.S.!

Thanks! My gf was waiting behind me at the register and she was not paying attention.
She said that she didn't know what was taking so long, and when she turned around I was making an insane smile. She said the owner looked terrified.
If you go inside an antique store and you spot two Cookiezilla statues in the front display case: Then beware...
