“Bob is a gem. Such a nice, knowledgeable man who really cares about preserving Philly's architectural history. It's a shame that there are so few salvage places left in the city.”
“This Mid century modern furniture gallery in Philadelphia has, or can find, the pieces you crave. Just let Michael know what you are looking for and he can find it. He has a wide selection on display and even a wider network of furniture dealers that can find you the perfect fit. Don't waste time running around or scouring the internet. Just call Mode Moderne and they can do the legwork.”
“Great vintage antique store. I found 2 beautiful paintings that would look great in our home. Thank you so much for your help. I’m would definitely recommend to others.”

1022 S 9th St, Philadelphia“We recently sold and bought some items in this store, we were pleased with the transactions. The owner is very professional and knowledgeable with valuable vintage items. This store is a gem in the Italian market and has well curated vintage items. Highly recommended!”
“Thanks to the people at Chelsea for the fantastic restoration of—yet another—wounded heirloom! Knowing Chelsea will be able to restore virtually anything metal has given me the confidence to buy other people’s wounded heirlooms. Invaluable service.”
“Staci and Scott are such great people. They’re knowledgeable and such a pleasure to deal with. They have the best things at their store with the best prices. I won’t go anywhere else!”

66 S Broad St, Woodbury“This place is amazing. Has a bunch of really cool things to see as well as hidden treasures. Really nice people there too. It’s definitely a place worth checking out.”
“Carnival of collectables! Why go to Mt. Holly or Philly when you can go to Carnival. Something for everyone. Rare antiques, Vintage, collectables and some retro. If you're not a collector you will be after going here a few times. If you are a collector you will probably be starting another collection. So many varied types of objects with many price ranges.”
“All I know is that “Mickey” seems like such a great guy!! I saw the video of EdBassMaster visiting “Anything and Everything” and everyone was SO cool and down to earth lol. I love thrift stores and pawnshops and have to see this shop next time I’m in Philly!”
“I've been here consistently for 3 years (& counting) & it took me this long to write a review?!? So my review is based on my many years of experience shopping at Circle Thrift (CT). Get ready as this will be the most comprehensive review ever on my favorite store in Philly (& maybe all of America? maybe the entire world?). Times I've spent here At most: 2x / week Usually: weekly At least: biweekly CT standard not-on-sale $ (pricing system): Prices here are undefeatable! The cheapest you'll find anywhere! Frugal people gather around! Orange tags: $15 Any colored tags depend on the week: for the colors not on sale, unless otherwise specially marked: Men's Shirts: Short-sleeves: $3; Long-sleeves: $4 Tanks: $3 Bras: @@@@@ Underwear: (don't remember seeing boxers) Swimwear: 1-piece set: $4; 2-piece set: $2/ per piece T-shirt Top (Female): $3 Long-sleeve blouses/shirts: $4 Pants, Shorts: $4 Pants, Long: $5 Leggings: $4 Athletic Tops: $3 Athletic Pants: $4 Dresses: $7 Skirts: $4 Suits: $10 Blazers: $6 Trousers (Men): $10 Sweaters: $5 Ties: $1 Lounge/Sleepwear: $4 Sweatshirts: $5 Sweatpants: $4 Outerwear: $10 Kids clothing: $1 Shoes: as marked price Books in CT2: hardcovers: $2, softcovers: $1 Items in CT2: (ie furniture, large items, knickknacks) as marked price Items I've seen here: A whole range for different genders and age groups including newborns & children. Since CT is located in Fishtown, a hip neighborhood, the items that are donated here are usually purchased by people with modern/ good taste. I've also heard wealthy people donate newly bought items here for tax benefit/write-off purposes. I've seen anywhere from fast fashion items (H&M, SHEIN, Forever21, Walmart, etc.) to quality (anthropology, everlane, Banana Republic, J. Crew) to high-end (Brooks Brothers, Stuart Weissman) to luxury brands (though I don't think they authenticate items nor am I able to distinguish so buy at your own caution. But I saw brands like Fenty, LV, Gucci, Valentino, etc.) Any items you'd think they'd have, they'll have albeit not in store all the time but if the timing and coincidence are right, it'll be there. & any item you don't think you'll need, but you buy to need, you'll find here. From lingerie to undergarments, to cookware & dish-ware & utensils & appliances, to electronics, to footwear of all kinds including ice skating boots, to clothing of all kinds including coats and scrubs, even wedding dresses, to socks and hats, to newborn & baby onesies/ footsies, baby accessories like hats & shoes & bibs & toys, to seasonal decors & gift bags/ cards, to the arts & crafts corner with yarn, to linens, bedding & cushions, to suitcases & personal bags of all kinds (book bags, duffles, female bags), to garden pots, to PJs, Pros about this store: Discount/ sale system: & explanation of their turnover rates: Weekly items discount for 50¢ for that week's color (of items less/ = $10) or 1/2 off (no limit) for that week's second color. Weekly discounts begin on Wednesdays. Items have fast turnover rates in the store (unlike Goodwill which is why Goodwill seems like digging through trash) + affordable pricing system + discount system = there's always treasures to be found. If an item is without its color price tag, it will automatically be CT's regular price. To describe it; Small selection but fast turnovers, so it's best to go often as there are new items every day. Staffing: The people here are so friendly! I've always seen Ivan here & he brightens our day! Scotty is a ray of sunshine in CT2. The only cons/downsides: No bathroom for public use... due to privilege being abused by druggies... *sigh*, but they're not unreasonable about it if you're pregnant. I'd go to Riverwards Produce Market grocery store or Cake And Joe bakery for a close bathroom (see Google map picture). No haggling. Strict about this one even if the condition of the item is not ”
“I love this place beyond words! I used to live in Philly and would visit the store in person often. Now that I've been living in Los Angeles for over a decade, I'm grateful I can still shop at Indigo online. Over the last few years I have purchased two of my favorite pieces of art - both Haitian beaded voodoo flags. They are breathtaking. The shop owner, Tony was incredibly helpful in answering my myriad of questions. It's not easy to find crafts from all vast areas around the world, so a shop like this is a true treasure.”
“I decided to go to the arsenal because they came highly recommended from some other people I was very happy with my first purchase and will be buying more, they were very helpful and educational and help me decide which shotgun was best for me, I will be purchasing more from them ,no need to go anywhere else, thank you and you have a lifelong customer”
“Fantastic spot- great collection and excellent customer service. The owners are kind and helpful - they found me the exact lamp I wanted! Highly recommend Arcana.”
“Lots of vendors and not just retail garbage. Actually found some gems today. 5 stars. Came up from Florida and decided to see what all the fuss was about. Didn't disappoint”
“A venerable shop in Old City. The proprietor greets you on the way in. Lots of vintage, especially bar ware of all kinds. Miles Davis plays in the background providing an authentic vibe amidst 40's, 50's and 60's martini glasses and drink shakers. Even if you are not a buyer, you'll enjoy the visit.”
“Cannot say enough good things about this spot! Great variety of treasures, that are well priced. The owner is so kind, she went out of her way to make sure I was completely happy with my clothing purchase by picking out pieces to try on with it (not with the intention for me to buy) but so I can envision what it would look like with pieces I already owned. She and her dog are such gems! Highly recommend stopping in!”
“I absolutely adore this store. They have a wonderful collection from home decor, jewelry, and clothing. Not only are the products beautiful, but the workers are very genuine people. Every time I come in, I feel welcomed. I highly recommend stopping by.”
“Really nice people who were helpful with a couple of questions. Had an unplanned couple of hours off this weekend, so we decided to wander down here and take a look. What fun! This is a pretty large warehouse with a lot of vendor stalls, some bigger than others, some pricier than others. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I had a blast looking at everything from antique enamel long-stemmed soup ladles to some um, interesting, um, personal art, to collectibles - I mean, come on, Bionic Woman dolls?! You can find fiesta ware, Pyrex (know the difference between PYREX and pyrex, people), valium glass - wheeeeee!”
“This is one of my favorite stores in the area. They have a wide selection, such a variety of coins, jewelry, antiques of all kinds, dolls, memorabilia, collectibles, crystal, glassware, you name it. A lot of history in the items here, it brings you back.”
“Large selection of imported crafts & furniture and more. Great customer service. Very unique and interesting store and hands down, my favorite place to shop.”
“This place is really spectacular. It’s all really luxurious, gorgeous stuff. Such a cool vibe too, and Mark is a very nice guy as well. Walking through was an opportunity to daydream about my future home. Will definitely return, hopefully one day to buy some stuff. I highly recommend visiting.”

1625 Pine St, Philadelphia“I just got this Louis XVI beauty so needed between my Mother's heirloom chairs, Antique Showcase has it all! The comments here are so stupid ... I have been visiting this store regularly for the last three years, and the owners are an old gay couple. and they have two small dogs. I love what they have, impressive chandeliers, beautiful French mirrors, tables, and chairs, I haven't seen many of these anywhere in Philadelphia. It's an impressive collection. The amount of stuff is overwhelming, they let me roam the store freely, taking my time to look at everything. Because, Ingo to look at the furniture, not to look at them. they are not rude, they engage me in conversation, they ask questions, they talk to me about their pieces, they suggest things, and one of them even makes jokes. I learned they are a gay couple, and they have been together for over 1000 years. They are frankly beautiful Anyway, I don't go to an antique store to visit the owners, I go to look at their stuff and buy antiques. Simple, I suggest you do the same. GROW UP people”
“Love this place! Items are always changing, and are reasonably priced! If you’re in need of some inspo, you should stop by, but be prepared to buy something you may just have to buy!”

810 Haddon Ave, Collingswood“Awesome store, awesome people, awesome inventory! Do yourself a favor and stop in, especially if you're looking for a vintage piece of musical equipment!Stopped in to look at a guitar and stayed 2 hours chatting! Nice to have some good old customer service!!”
“Very professional and knowledgeable staff. We had an old chandelier repaired including broken arms and missing crystals. It was also cleaned and hung. Needless to say, it looks spectacular. We’re not sure it was this sparkly when we bought it. Well done.”
“A regal British experience in Downtown Haddonfield: There is no other boutique like it this side of the Thames. Treat yourself to a visit ... The Queen's Carriage is really something special!”
