Edward was AWESUUUUUUM!!! He took the time to educate my wife and I and I totally loved his individuality. The treasures in Ed’s store are AMAZING. My wife and I left feeling very inspired and he gave us a lot of pointers that could lead to success in his line of work. Thanks Ed!!! Jesus Loves You

The owner is rude and delusional. He TOTALLY told us how poor people would be rich if they invested in items he sells in his store. He told us how me makes so much money from dealers, and that people like me and my mother-in-law who just walk in don’t realize how malls are ripping us off. Yada, yada, yada… had to get out of the place stat. He was just annoying.

The owner was very rude to me and my friend. He basically called us poor and uneducated. While we were just looking at the antiques he told us, «Because you are poor, you can’t shop here. You have to shop at the mall. If you guys bought something here, you would be rich and corporations don’t want you to be rich.» He then proceeded to tell us that we were not educated enough to know what he had in the store. At this point, I was very annoyed and told him that I, in fact, am educated and just graduated from college with a degree in history. He then proceeded to quiz me on a couple of the items in the store and because I did not know much about them because they were not from the periods of history that I had focused on in school, he once again insinuated that we were uneducated. He then said although he received a D in the one art class he took in college, he still knew all about art and then he compared himself to Albert Einstein. He told us that he was smarter than us because he got a D and we got A’s. Yes, it’s true my friend and I could not afford any of the lovely antiques this store, but that does not give the owner the right to call us poor and uneducated. Just because we are in our early 20’s does not mean that we can’t appreciate the antiques in this store and he should not have insulted us.

If you’re looking for priceless pieces being sold at wholesale, this is the place to go. No, I am not affiliate with this owner in any way. No, I am not being paid for this review. My family and I went by a bunch of these shops in Soquel and this gem caught our attention. The owner has spent a significant part of his life building one of the best collections of rare antiques(many worth well over $ 50k) we’ve ever seen. If you’re looking for an investment piece, he will undoubtedly have something that will catch your attention.
