I love these guys! I find great things, for me and my friends great prices. This place has so many things to check out, it could be half just looking at everything.

This is a great place to get lost in…
They have a huge variety of things. Endless variety. I’ve been here a dozen or so times over the past few years and have always left with a smile on my face and feeling like I got a good deal. The gentleman who owns it is very nice. They have lots of turnover meaning he’s willing to haggle a bit on the prices which means he gets new stuff is coming in pretty regularly. If your looking for antiques, oddities or collectibles around Alameda, this is one store you need to check out. Thanks.

What an interesting place. I was expecting to find something for the living room, but man I got sucked into walking around the whole store. The quality of furniture was actually impressive and I’d say that this is a good spot to look around for antiques. Seems like a good place to stop and take a peek.

Antique shops should have a personal feel to them, shouldn’t they? After all, they all contain personal relics of an era gone by.
The man running Good Better Best has done his best to protect the past for the future. In addition to a bunch of neatly kept items ranging anywhere from jewelry to comic books, he also has a «library» nook full of books you can nab for $ 2 a pop!
He’s even flexible when it comes to pricing. We recently bought a bookcase from him, and he was willing to negotiate with us on the price for a stellar deal — better than our luck on Craigslist, in fact! You’ve got to love a good sale.

I walked in with my mother today only to find myself immediately surrounded by incense smoke. I sneezed once and walked out. No thanks.

I friggin’ LOVE this place!
*Drove past it recently once by accident & decided to pop in ‘n check ‘em out…
They have tons of really really cool antiques, assorted collectible memorabilia, etc. You could literally spend hours browsing the huge collection of STUFF in here! Best of all: This place does w/out the snobbishness that antique stores often have.
I was in a hurry so I skimmed the whole store quickly and found some cool 80s pins & a couple of interesting stickers that I just had to have.
The prices are kind of all over the place (some cheap, some high), BUT in general I felt they were mostly fair.
You can bet I’ll come back here!
