I've been a reseller for a long time. Primarily online...We opened our first of 2 booths at Black Rose in Chambersburg in 2018. We had stuff stolen, broken, found gum wrappers in our stoneware crocks. The icing on the cake was a big wad of "used" chewing tobacco in one of the crocks we had. Nothing surprises me anymore. I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of scumbags in the world.

[@thruErinseyes]

Gross some grown man spit his wad of dip in an antique? What is wrong with people?

[@misslannie73]

What is the point of paying rent on a booth with no security cameras? That vandalism was no accident, or children messing around.

[@groovyvanpicker5511]

About 8 years ago I had a couple of booths at a flea market in springfield, misery. The place was called the S... T... D... (The old occupants of the building was Springfield Tool &Die) Flea market. It's kind of like your antique mall, but different. I had some items stolen out of my booth that I pretty much know was an inside job. When I asked the manager about it he kind of acted kind of weird and then when I asked to see the video footage the video cameras were conveniently not working. Another problem that I used to have was I would find other people's stuff in my booth and I would walk around and find my stuff in other people's booths. My advice to you is to get some video cameras and put them into your booth. Have a couple of them in plain sight and others hidden. I wish I would have done that when I had those antique booths. I was so angry I just packed up all my stuff and left and told him to take their little flea market and shove it.

[@diggersouth]

I've had that happen. Some sellers and owners are not always honest.

[@jenniferfernandez8764]

Are you kidding me? Vandalism! So freaking sad. Guess cameras are needed now. How did that happen? People are awful some times! But on a brighter note, the booth looks great. Love the mid century modern furniture. That’s my new “jam!”

[@michelehood8837]

I always thought of mid-mod as so “old-fashioned” when I was growing up, mostly because my parents had a lot of it. They hired a decorator when they built our ranch home in 1963, and it stayed the same until they sold it in the 90s. As an adult, I have fallen in love with the style. Oh, how I wish I had asked them to give me the beautiful furniture and accessories that they probably sold for peanuts at their moving sale 😭

The store should have a floating employee the moves around the store to keep an eye on the customers. You suffered a major loss of irreplaceable and irreparable items. It’s sad that we can no longer trust people, but that is the way it is now.

[@tammyshirey3041]

The Lane coffee table is exactly like the one my Grandma and Papap had when I was growing up and they had the 2 tier end tables that matched it. I wish I had taken the set when they passed away. It was sold for so little. Brought back memories. It is beautiful furniture!

I’m a vendor at an antique mall, and have considered putting all of my merchandise in locked showcases! That is where I put expensive, fragile items, and anything small enough to slip into a pocket. Most people are great, but it only takes one of the less common ones to make someone feel they need to defend themselves! I hope whoever vandalized your booth is caught and prosecuted. What kind of monster would attack a poor, defenseless book?!

[@kelleycolvin5632]

My dad used to be a coin an antique dealer and my suggestion to you with antique books and knives and things like that small items get some locking cases to display those things in them so that the owners have to go and unlock it for people to look at and kids can’t get their hands on them

[@danielclaeys7598]

There's a game interior designers use when it comes to furniture. The Lane pieces are a step end and a cocktail. Calling them by just an end table or a coffee table cheapens the perceived value. Couches are for the den, sofas cost more and are for the living rooms and bedrooms. A divan is a couch for the summer room or screened porches. I have yet to figure out how a davenport works into the picture because a davenport is a type of writing/study desk. Maybe it's a regional thing, but I do digress. Point is, certain pieces of furniture get a bigger price tag if you label them to fit the price that you are asking.

[@leeinpa4563]

My grandparents from York PA called their sofa a davenport. I never heard that term anywhere else.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

That's very true! It may just be an end table to us now, but they had very deliberate names and made deliberate efforts to differentiate in order to sell more

Last year those trees were going for a lot! (This year they probably will too.) When I was visiting Alabama last fall, I went to an antique mall where a vendor was selling newly-made ceramic trees (handmade, not from China). I picked up a cute one for $40. Then earlier this year I went to an estate sale, also while visiting AL, and got a big ceramic tree for 50 cents!! It's so dreamy--it's turquoise and lime green--my fave. Can't wait to put it out this year.

Remember to keep track of your loses and damaged items for part of your cost of goods on your taxes. I save photos also. Plus I would comment at the front desk about all the damage.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So frustrating! Damage happens in antique malls, but if they don't have someone monitoring the floor and it isn't caught then the dealer loses. Have you considered getting a locking case? I had a theft problem in a mall once until I got a dummy camera (much cheaper than a real one that there's no one to monitor) and hung it in the booth. They'll go to another booth to steal or break things.

[@Bobo-vy3cf]

[@bmoritzdesign3862]

Part of owning a booth and cameras really don’t help. Even if you catch someone, finding the person after the fact is nearly impossible. Thieves and vandals figure out where cameras are and know how to skirt or just do it right in front. On stolen stuff, I have had to file a police report on more expensive items. After 38 years I have learned to just take it and not get upset. People keep shop owner/worker busy as someone else they are with might steal or take a portion of something and leave rest.

[@eunicenield9631]

I cannot understand why someone would want to destroy another person’s property. I think it’s time to get cameras in your booth.
