“Honestly, please ignore all those one star reviews! Screw them! Especially the ones regarding the bathroom it’s just blasphemy. Ultimate Treasures is not only an amazing antique & thrift store filled with ANYTHING you could ask for from couches to art to movies to books to clothes to even good condition used toiletries & cooking products even TJ’s brand olive oil well hell you name it… BUT it is an incredible first date idea (like guys- write this down)! You can go exploring down every aisle & always find something incredible & worthwhile! This store has so much to offer though seriously. So I mean ‘tis the season to bring your Valentine here & go find a relic that will last an era of romance & adoration! Ps if someone could please give the leather jacket that is so sick and says “Babe Squad” on the back a great home & then please post a review with a photo of you flaunting it I’d absolutely love that (I don’t have the confidence)! Anyways, just please please please if you don’t do anything else in Downers Grove, at least make a stop to Ultimate Treasures! It’s a life changing destination to add to your list. And maybe you’ll fall in love… who knows!”
“Elite Repeat is such an amazing store and absolutely worth the visit. From the rage of name brands and styles to an entire fur coat closet there is something for everyone. The shop is multi-generational woman owned and you can tell how much they care about what they do in the care they have for the store and the way it’s organized. Absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back!”

“Alan upholstery shop in Westchester is a rare store that still believes in craftsmanship, customer service and designer detailing. Whether it's wood, fabrics or total redesigning of an old piece of furniture, do yourself a favor and go check out what they do. Angel (master craftsman) is all about aesthetics, quality and creating the best "look/feel" for you home or office. I had chairs reupholstered and I purchased furniture that have become center pieces for my home. Simply the best. - John Calerway”
“Such a little gem! So reasonably priced, so many good finds in these three small buildings. Bobbie and her husband were so sweet, offered us cookies, coffee and great conversation. Will be back very soon ?”
“This is the only place to purchase Lanzi Carnel nut chew candy. I called a bunch of different stores and nobody knew what I was talking about. I will definitely be back as the store has alot of random things wives live to buy. The person at this location (wish I asked for her name) extremely helpful and made my experience very nice. A gem to visit if your in Elmhurst!!!!”

“I was very impressed by Kathryn and her staff's outstanding customer service, flexibility, and personalized attention, when I had to special order some products. I love the decor and unique items in the store, which make beautiful gifts. I highly recommend Bench492!”
“Fantastic vintage shop. Lots of great pieces. Filled with collectible glassware and decor. As a collector and reseller, it’s not priced in a way that works for me but it’s still got a great selection for those who aren’t looking for a crazy steal.”

63 Village Pl, Hinsdale
Antiques
“A hidden gem in Hinsdale! This unique store sells higher-end furniture and decor with 100% of the profits benefitting Wellness House, which provides support and services for those with, or affected by, cancer. Volunteers staff the store and there is new inventory weekly. Shopping here is a win-win!”
“Although I did not purchase anything, I thought this store was cute and quaint. I enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the items. It is filled - I mean jam packed - with antiques. They have everything from silver spoons, paintings, and jewelry, to a letter from Robert F Kennedy. I overheard the gentleman behind the counter say that the store has been around for something like 40 years! No wonder! If you're in the area and you like antiques, I'd stop by and take a gander. You might find something you love.”
“Tired of following signs that advertise 'ANTIQUES' only to find a buiding full of Beanie Babies, 1970s kitchenware, and your high school yearbook? Sign of the Whale offers none of that. What you will find are authentic antiques - not reproductions - pleasingly displayed in a clean and organized setting. The owners are knowledgeable and friendly and I'll be stopping there whenever I am near Glen Ellyn.”

Please call me
To whom it may concern,
Altogether, almost 20 hours of my life to show you, what I thought...was the better part of my worldwide stamp collection.
I had placed an enormous time and effort filling in those pages, buying albums. I looked into every stamp, and some even more than once.
I appreciate that I know more what will sell. Canada, Australia, China, Korea, Russia, Tannu Touva, Nyasa, my better sets within Italy, and Dutch Semipostals.
I will have to form an online store to sell those pieces. Thank you for your 45 minutes with me.
Btw, I had spent over last 2 1/2 years, ~$3400, on my collection. I was hoping to hear a number. As a rule of thumb, it is said that dealers would pay 10 cents on the dollar. He would not give me an estimate, since he did not think my collection was valuable, but a few of the pieces, and my Korean, Chinese and Russian collections had salability.
My worldwide collection was not valuable. I had estimated by partial worldwide collection to have estimated catalog value between $30,000 & $55,000. This is not valuable. Also, practically all the stamps must be in very fine albums. Unhinged is best. This is not my worldwide collection. Which is I amixed bag and hodge podge of used, mostly hinged, with few higher value stamps, and many sets, but still more than half empty.
I was told stamp collecting is not an investment but a hobby.
Thank you Dr Friedman for education and your time.”
“A fantastic experience working with them. Brian is one of the most knowledgeable and honest person I know. Every time I talk with him, I know I'm getting a good deal.”
“We love this store! I have bought everything from outdoor furniture to paintings and it’s always so clean, organized and inviting.
The staff is always kind and helpful.”
“Wonderful antique shop! A great selection, very organized and great prices! I went there an hour before closing and that was not enough time. Had to rush thru the last two isles. I will for sure be returning.”
“Love this store, the best thrift store in town. The staff are very nice and welcoming. Amazing prices and great treasures. They are also very good about keep the store clean and organized. Anyone who doesn’t come here is missing out.”
“Excellent experience, interesting shop with wide variety. Shop is a daily escape to wander and have fun discovering unique items you won't find elsewhere. Owner is friendly, personable, and helpful. A pleasurable day of shopping, definitely will be back soon.”
“A fun & quirky maze with tons to see! Lots of unique items and a great selection of vintage. Debbie was great with providing info and a pleasure to deal with. Came away with a great piece for my collection!”
