“Tired of following signs that advertise 'ANTIQUES' only to find a buiding full of Beanie Babies, 1970s kitchenware, and your high school yearbook? Sign of the Whale offers none of that. What you will find are authentic antiques - not reproductions - pleasingly displayed in a clean and organized setting. The owners are knowledgeable and friendly and I'll be stopping there whenever I am near Glen Ellyn.”
“This is a second review I’m leaving under my real name (see other review under @the English Professor).I’ve been a satisfied customer of Fox Valley Coins since 2021 and would send my family to all of these guys if I were on my death bed and needed to recommend where they should go to sell my collection. Christian, Mike, and all of the guys there are consistently friendly and professional and I always feel well taken care of when I’m in the shop.I’m responding to the negative review from customer Scott for the purpose of highlighting the owner’s classy response and follow up response to Scott’s misunderstanding of what occurred during his experience at FVC. Who takes the time to compose a thorough and sincere response like that to an insatiate review like the one Scott left? The answer is: an owner who cares about his customers and the legacy of his business. He explained what happened, acknowledged that there was likely a misunderstanding during the transaction, and wasn’t insulting or condescending to Scott in responding to the review. That’s class, in my book, and that’s why I continue to patronize Fox Valley Coin on a regular basis. I have four different local coin shops I rely on and FVC is always at the top of my list.”
“Every time I visit this place they get new stuff in. It’s always great quality finds and the prices are fair. The owners really care about the customer experience and are helpful with helping you finding pieces you may be looking for. This was my first antique shop and really set the bar very high. I haven’t found a better place yet.”

“This is my favorite resale, antique, and home goods store! This store has amazing finds! The owner is super sweet and everyone who works there is super friendly. And it's not stuffy and overpriced like so many antique shops.”
“Super friendly staff. It is a little small but organized and everything they put out is in good condition. You can't beat the prices! I love this thrift store. It is definitely a favorite of mine!”
“This is a great thrift in a great little downtown area in Glen Ellyn. Lots of great, higher-end decorations and homewares that you don't see in other thrift stores. They had some smaller pieces of furniture like chairs and coffee tables that all looked in great condition. In the back of the store there are racks of nice clothing. I didn't see anything that was dirty, smelled, torn, or damaged.”
“I was really pleased with the way this business owner presented himself and the kind of business he ran. He has a lot of neat items for sale and had decent a *reasonable* cash offer for items I wanted to sell. He was very knowledgable and helpful to my situation. I definitely recommend you stop by and check this place out. I will continue to do business with them for both buying and selling items.”

“We inherited our father's stamp collection after his passing. We spent the better part of 10 years trying to sell or donate the collection without success. Unfortunately, most buyers we contacted wanted to buy only certain parts of the collection leaving the us with the balance and the expense of return freight. Dr. Robert Friedman & Sons Stamp Company is unique in that they purchase the entire collection. After several phone conversation with Steve Friedman, we met at his office to review the collection. Steve is extremely knowledgeable in the stamp collection world. His honest and concise comments were very welcome. He explained what parts of the collection had value and the parts not so much. Atter the review, Steve made an offer to buy the entire collection at an amount that exceeded my expectation.I would strongly recommend Dr. Rober Friedman & Sons Stamp Company.Larry Mahl”
“Cute shop nestled between several great restaurants in the downtown Bartlett area! Great furniture pieces in there and at very affordable prices! I was very surprised how fair the prices were for the solid wood furniture!”
“A fantastic experience working with them. Brian is one of the most knowledgeable and honest person I know. Every time I talk with him, I know I'm getting a good deal.”
“Friendly people reasonable prices and very clean storeI went this morning and today’s offer was “roll the dice” and whatever number you get that was the discount they give you.! Fantastic”
“I love this place, the stock is always new and the staff is wonderful. So many fun treasures to find. I often loose track of time and they don't ever rush me. They even stayed an hour past close one night and I didn't even realize it. They are the bomb. They price by the lot so the thrill of the hunt is a blast. Totally stop by often!! Highly recommend.”
“My family has had a baby shower here, private work event, and brunch with Santa. Every single time it’s perfect and set up beautifully. The owner goes above and beyond to be involved and tend to his guests/customers. The family feel he brings and the environment of the business is why we keep going back!”

“Stopped on a whim to check out. Definitely is a tardis (bigger on the inside) store. I mean it took at least an hour or so to walk through the maze. Good mix of old antiques, and collectibles from the last 40yrs. Movies, music of all sorts (vinyl, cassette, 8track, cd), jewelry, currency, funkos, action figures, comics, books, etc..Glad we stopped because we found a few deals.”
“This store is amazing! The owner is such a great guy and the staff is just as wonderful! Every time I go in there is always something new! Everyone must come visit and shop!”
