For full disclosure, I do have a small booth at CAM, but I was a patron for 10 years prior to renting space. I've found so many treasures over the years (hence the need to sell some stuff!) Just yesterday I bought beautiful 18th century Moroccan carved doors (at a great price) and an antique shoe factory rack (very hard to find). Now that I visit CAM frequently, I can truly appreciate the place even more. The management is fine, the floor salespeople are super nice and helpful. I have come to realize that antique dealers are a unique bunch. They do it because they love it (certainly not for the money - especially in this economy). They travel far and wide to find unique treasures to offer. Most dealers bring new treasures in things each week. Recently, a slew of new dealers have come onboard who offer beautiful vintage clothing and jewelry, modern art and mid-century finds to round out the more traditional antiques. And the bike guy in the cellar has bikes flying out the door. Come on, stop on by sometime...
Pros: variety, free parking
