I like the weird stuff they have and they always seem to have something new. It is dark in there but I like that atmosphere. Sometimes the prices seem high but he really knows his stuff and is just trying to be fair.

I think the person before me got paid to write that review... Generous and willing to share? Hahahaha... He is rude and awfully sour to his clients, he puts the price he wants, I guess if he doesn't like you he says " it's not for sale "... Has no manners at all, I was going to buy several things and he didn't want me to do it I guess... Yes he has cool stuff but just because his low attitude I am not going back there... I've been in better antiques shopes than that one, real ones from start to end and the owners the classiest people, amazingly nice to everybody... Very smart people that doesn't need to show their power treating bad to their costumers. Good luck! Pelana!

Very shady, and the man I've spoken to in there is extremely rude as well. They do clean out houses after estate sales which we have been told multiple times (it's like he is bragging that they're so super awesome because they do it?), and then mark up some things extremely high. My mother had some stuff held for her to make payments on and every time we went in there he either "couldn't find" paperwork which he needed to allow us to take the items we had been paying on, or he would jack up prices higher and claim they always were that price. I'm pretty sure that's illegal... and we're out money because of it. Very shady, and unprofessional business. The shop is dim and cluttered, sometimes hard to navigate, and it seems like prices are all made up on the spot (I was once given a different price on an item within minutes from my mom) If you want a well run antiques shop, check out LaBelle or Annabell's both north of here also on Harper.

Its NOT your fancy pants - Antique shop, the owner claims to be working
with other business and professionals; other than the public?? Selling to
person in his registry book. I know this because I'm in the book and been contacted been contacted twice regarding my collecting interest (French Dolls)..
It can be a little dark in there - depending on the time of day, but the stuff he gets is truly the BEST on Harper.. A great place for creative young minds and people whom LOVE art. A Good energy place!!!

They don't price everything, because too many times things have gotten stolen (items with high prices.) Someone actually tried to sell something that was stolen back to the store when I was there the other day! And by the way, 3 Nun's is a seperate company, this I know for a fact. There is a huge antique moose on the wall, and the owner is sometimes a little eccentric in some of the things he has for sale; but he's always been more than friendly and fair to us.

My husband and i love all of the antique shops in and around St. Clair Shores, but these guys are shady. They are also creepy to boot! The prices are not marked. They don't really work with you on price. Soooo bizarre.

These guys are crooks. Nothing is priced and when they give you a price its twice retail. Stay away. They also conduct estate sales under the names 3 Nuns and The Quaint Saints.

Really? Although it's been a while since I went in there but I find it difficult to shop there, it's like a horder's paradise and nothing was price marked. What kind of business is that?

I've been to ALL the local antique shops and this is the TOPS; truly a treasure trove and a wealth of information, who is generous and willing to share ...
