Hobby Shops in Annapolis, MD

“I have placed multiple online orders with Third Eye over the last year, and my experiences with them are consistently excellent. These have mostly been pre-orders of items coming out over the course of several weeks. To reduce shipping costs for the store and myself, they hold all my items until the one with the latest release date hits shelves. My complete orders ship within a week of that date and typically (if not always) arrive in less than 7 days. This was true when I lived in western Iowa and remains so now that I am in central Indiana.

Their staff were incredibly accommodating when I wanted to adjust an order in the spring, and they proactively reached out to me when the publisher made a short-notice change to an issue I'd requested. Although I've never stepped foot in Annapolis, I expect I'll keep buying from Third Eye in the future.”

“Customer service and selection is out of this world!! I drove to their location from Upper Marlboro twice already. I have already purchased 3 train sets from them, and I will definitely be back. I received so much advice, guidance and knowledge starting with the first visit. They are awesome!!!! I definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for an outstanding hobby shop. If they don’t have it, they will get it for you.”

“I was in need of a picture album, which is odd since I haven't bought one since high school. But as I get older, and I receive more and more pictures, I'm running out of room for picture frames. Hence the need to get a photo album. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, I just needed your basic photo album that would allow me to neatly store my excess photos. I honestly walked right past this section at first. Silly me thought it was back near the frames. But, no, it is near the scrapbooking materials, and what a small section this is. They had different sizes of photo albums from a little oversized to ones that held one picture to page/pocket. I kind of went middle of the road here and grabbed one that looks just like a binder. Made my way to the front to pay and this location has the self checkouts that look more like information kiosks than registers. After scanning my items and skipping the bag, I had my recent in hand, along with a coupon for a future visit, and I was out the door.”

“I’m so thankful my neighbor sent me to Annapolis Coin Exchange. Even though I did not have an appointment, they were very thoughtful and knowledgeable in evaluating a number of items I considered selling. They were a pleasure to work with, and I felt very fair, in calculating what my items were worth. I’m sure many people are disappointed the coins grandma saved are not worth what they hoped. As with any coin business I’ve worked with, the big value is in “fluke” coins that generate lots of demand and in coins with high silver content. These days when banks won’t help with coins and the grocery store machines take a steep percentage, it was great to find a resource that could help me with heavy coins only worth face value that I didn’t want to pay to move (i.e. Eisenhower Dollars). I was also impressed with their online storefront and would think they would be a great partner to any coin enthusiast.”

“Great selection & orderliness for an artist with discriminating taste. Location is convenient with good parking and accessibility for us old folks. Even had someone hold the door for me; I did have a cane. I’m always inspired by viewing items I’ve not seen and can usually complete projects with their variety. Thank you.”
