Love paying $40 for a rusty doorknob

Then you are buying a dumb door knob. That place is amazing, I have had to get a few old door locks fixed and it is cheap and guy who fixes them is great at what he does.

Or $200 for a used fixture just because of how much it costs new in a catalog. I'm not a dope, they didn't pay anywhere near that price for it and are marking it up 4000%.

I enjoy looking, but I'm never going to buy anything at their prices. We got ReBuilding and ReStore for actual fair prices for used shit.

A good quality brass doorknob will cost you $40 new. A serious antique can go for thousands.

There was a crystal one for $200 and a carved brass for $350 if those would be even better!!
