Went into Andy’s antique shop thinking I’d buy a vintage lamp, ended up having a 35-minute existential debate on the fate of the country. Andy knows his antiques, but let me tell you, this man could run for office. We went from talking about 18th-century furniture to solving world politics, all while surrounded by old clocks that probably work better than Congress. If you're looking for antiques *and* political enlightenment, look no further. Honestly, I left with a chair and a sense of where the country’s heading. Someone put this guy on a debate stage! Highly recommend if you're into antiques and fiery political chats.

The owner Andy is a horrible man. My children who are young teens are enthusiast of vintage items. My one son was waiting to ask a price of an item when a lady moved backwards causing my son to step backing knocking over a picture frame. No harm done but he yelled at my son to get the hell out of his store along with other things. I questioned the band behavior but then I told my family let’s leave as we did a customer chased us down apologizing saying she would never support this business and couldn’t believe what she witnessed . She then asked if my other son was special needs and said he was mocking my child who has autism and told him to leave. I didn’t know this at the time So I went back in and gave him and earful. I was in tears to think he had humiliated both my sweet boys for no reason and on Mother’s Day of all days. Talked to other businesses owners and they told me that he has a reputation to insult and belittle kids and woman in his store. Even as far as referring to some people as jungle monkey. Placerville and neighboring business along with customers should not be subjected to this form of abuse. I too am a business owner in a historic district and I can’t believe Placerville historic district association would allow this man to still have a business there after the many complaints I’ve seen reported after this incident.

First of all we waked in and it looked like a nice store but not even three minute in he cursed at me my boyfriend and my little brother. Super rude and unnecessary.

Unfortunately, I can not give this store zero stars. I must give a star to review. The owner is a jerk. Not a word I typically use. My girlfriends and I were meandering in the store. He was complaining heavily to an older woman about something that sounded personal. He was gruff, rude, disrespectful, and downright ugly. He snapped rudely. "That is closed" at two of my friends that were going to walk into the back room. Lights were off, I assumed that the bulb burned out. Nope. As we left the store slowly, I wanted to hear what else he had to say. Another female asked if it would open up, and he said, "In ten minutes." Before I made it out the door, I had a gut feeling that he had already turned the light on in the back. He did, I took a gander as I was standing outside of the front window. I don't feel what he has is necessarily antiques, a lot of peoples junk. But sometimes you find a green in all of that. Not here, I would never give this business a dime. It is too bad that Placerville allows this behavior, downtown or any other location. P'ville gets a lot of tourist money..... this needs to be addressed. I have read other reviews, too bad I had not read before walking downtown. He is a despicable human.

Interesting selection. Good prices aren't easy to find.

Owner is definitely is impersonal and can come across rude.

The guy who runs this store is so incredibly rude I don’t know how he’s still in business. You’d think he’d know some customer service -being over middle age, but nope. Also, the store is incredibly dirty and stinky, I love antiques and know some “smell” but seriously, smells like a puddle of mud in there.

My wife and I were visiting Placerville today, and stopped into this shop on our way out of town this afternoon. Within 2 minutes, the man running the place (I'll assume it's the owner) had made a comment to another patron about how he couldn't say a specific antisemitic statement anymore as it wasn't PC. My wife didn't hear it, but I did. I was surprised, but shrugged it off (I shouldn't have.) My wife had selected a small purchase, and we walked towards the counter. The owner asked us where we were from, and when we told him Bay Area, he began to comment about a trip he took out here, and how he witnessed a car hanging off the Carquinez Bridge. His exact next statement was, "I bet it was one of those 'Jungle Monkeys' out for a joy ride." My wife is Mexican American, and obviously Latina by her complexion. We immediately felt angry and uncomfortable, and left without purchasing anything. I wanted to call this man out, but for all I knew, he could have pulled a gun on us as it was his own establishment.

He's either so blatantly racist that he doesn't realize what he's saying, or he he's so racist that he didn't want my wife to spend any money with his establishment.

Stay far away from this place.
