★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I don't know if you really want to buy any stuff from this store, but definitely DON'T even try to sell anything to them, to ask them to buy your stuff, or to put price on them. You will be shocked! They tried to buy the very nice and tidy stuff we had (including sets of furniture, bed, dining table, etc.) for LESS than one third of the price we COULD EASILY get when we put them in Hayward's Auction (and consider that, in Hayward's Auction, everything is sold for a lot lesser than their actual prices and they take 20% commission plus pick up fee). Just think what this means! Moreover, we faced very rude and annoying behavior of the guy came to our home to view and buy the stuff; he did whatever he could just to put pressure on us, perhaps because we just looked desperate to him, that they are our last chance, that we cannot sell our stuff anywhere else but to them!!!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Love visiting this place. One of the owners was pretty kind and sold me ( a poor student) a wooden bed frame and mattress set for under $200, though it was worth a lot more. The owners are always friendly ... hands down best antique store in dunedin.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited this store yesterday for the first time - I’m not from Dunedin and was looking at buying furniture for my daughters new place. I was with my daughter,sister and niece we were just wandering around when this tall guy who works there asked us for the second time had we signed in - he was behind the counter serving other customers and another guy was behind the counter with him. I told him we had signed in however it was our responsibility if we signed in and as a business it was his responsibility to display the COVID tracer. He then proceeded to come from around the counter and started yelling at me in my face in front of everyone and told me to get out of his shop that he didn’t need people like me in his shop his anger level went from 0 to 100 in seconds - he then threatened to call the police so I told him to call them he then continued to keep yelling and telling me to get out of the shop. I have never had any kind of altercation like this before it was very upsetting experience and extremely unnecessary and I would warn anyone to give this shop a wide berth and go down the road to the other second hand traders.
You are an extremely rude and obnoxious man

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nev has always been great to me. Browsed many times and collected number of furniture items over the years with their delivery drop off with cost. They have great variety of items and house hold electronics here.
Keith on the other hand don’t seem to be friendly or interested, gives you scorned look when you happen to cross by him with No customer skills or exchange of greetings ,lacking knowledge and understanding of the stock what so ever, his presence is next to non-existent there
Keith is mostly not available to check with customers when Nev is away out of the store.
Where as, Nev and Karen are wonderful and always helpful to direct you to the right direction and give you fair deals and some times negotiate prices
Despite everything else, All 5/5 stars given

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Arkwright has been there for ages and they have some lovely old pieces. But the prices were too much for the items. And the person working spent too much time talking to us so we couldn't enjoy browsing. Still an interesting place to poke around in
