Guys who grew up in the 80s, do I have the antique mall booth for you!

That's a great one! I always love the eye candy when I find booths like this, but I can never bring myself to buy anything. Some things are better just as observational nostalgia.
I'm the same. Anyway, if I bought one thing, I'd never stop buying.
I never buy anything at antique malls anyway, I just go with my daughter because she collects Raggedy Ann dolls.
They're a good place to get useful things though, like cups/bowls, decor, instruments, etc. Plus I like to get my white elephant gift at them!
I might go and buy something there if I was looking for something specific like that, but I usually find better deals from eBay sellers, to be honest. You don't get the fun of browsing around a store and discovering something cool on eBay though, so I still enjoy just going to antique malls. This one's nuts. It has antique animal traps in one booth. One guy has a municipal streetlight someone must have stolen at some point. I saw a box of Operation Desert Storm trading cards. Sometimes I wonder who even wants this stuff.
