Before you go

  • Bring cash and ask politely whether there is any flexibility on price — many dealers discount 10–20% for cash.
  • Check marks, joints, and repairs; a phone photo of the maker’s mark lets you look up comparable sold prices before you commit.
  • Measure doorways and your vehicle before falling for a large piece — most antique stores are cash-and-carry.
  • Sunday hours are on file (9 AM – 7 PM), so it fits a weekend circuit.
