Midwest Pickers

This is the real deal people. First of all, it's HUGE! Sure it's crammed to the gills and a little disorganized, but guess what, real collectors love that; it's makes the hunt more fun! As to grumpy staff, April is more than friendly so maybe you caught her dad on a bad day. If I'm still working when I'm in my 80s I bet I'll have a few bad days too. Now let's talk about "the stuff."They don't have racks and racks of boring everyday clothes here like everywhere else, but I spotted a cool looking London Fog trench coat hanging near a huge pile of LPs. They had two desk telephones from the 30s, an Italian-made record changer from the 50s and some really cool Bang and Olufsen gear from the 70s and 80s. You're not going to see stuff like this at most thrift shops. Pro tip; if you collect jewelry you have to ask to see the good stuff.The marked prices can be a little high but if you really want something, good things come to those who negotiate. I'm going to be a regular here because they're always getting new inventory in, and that's what's it all about. Five stars all the way!

This place is a blast! I just moved to Omaha and have been checking out the antique stores. I found lots of goodies and they had good prices.

1. I was overcharged. Also, expect prices to inexplicably go up. Was told one price then was told a higher price at check out. But, then looked at my credit card statement - I WAS CHARGED EVEN MORE THAN THIS NEW INCREASED PRICE (and, no not just sales tax).2. Items are not well maintained. Still cleaning off dust days later. 3. Crazy religious alt-right propaganda blaring (stuff even my very conservative Christian parents thought was too much).

My mom and I were visiting Omaha for an Epilepsy event in the Blackstone District so before that started we decided to walk to Midwest Pickers because we love hunting for unique finds and antiques. The store was easy to get around, despite it being crowded, but we've been to many antique shops like this and honestly, what ones aren't crowded? Just means more stuff to find. And although it did have tons of stuff, we thought it was well organized and clean! We had a great time checking out all of items! My mom found a few small things that she purchased and I found one item that was slightly bigger. I wasn't going to buy it at first because we did not drive downtown and we were on our way to an outdoor walking event and I didn't want to carry this item with me for hours. When we went to check out, we made a comment about possibly ordering it online and the owner offered to let me buy it and told us she's drop it at the front desk of a hotel downtown so that when we were done with the event, we could grab it! I was thrilled because I really wanted it! She went above and beyond to get me the item! So 10/10 will return and will recommend! Thank you again April! You made my day!

Rude and dishonest staff. Terrible prices. Practically picking through their overpriced trash only to be hassled and bullied into paying more than what the tag says. Plenty of other vintage shops nearby to not bother with this awful establishment.

I stopped by yesterday and found the prices extremely high compared to other thrift/second-hand stores. At times, the asking prices seemed double what I would pay elsewhere. A small brass planter? $15. I'd pay $5-$8 at other places. Additionally, a lot of the items are pretty junky and dirty to boot. Finally, the place was blasting a far-right Christian station when I was in. Definitely off-putting if you're a different religion. I can't say I felt welcome.

Midwest Pickers is a TREASURE for anyone that loves antiques, thrifting, crafting, and unique holiday decorating. So many ideas!! LOVE!

Do NOT shop here. Rudest workers I've ever met. When my group of special needs clients walked in, they immediately gave us the rudest look and told us "you break it, you buy it" as if we've never been in a store before.One of the workers, I believe, to be taking photos of them and she denied and asked us to never come back. She made one of our clients cry due to her demeanor, tone, and attitude. Even if she asked us to not come back, we wouldn't. Discrimination at its purest form

The best antique mall in the city!! Tons of amazing and unique things! Will definitely be back!

This is a wonderful trip back into yester year. If your looking for something specific or just that little trinket that reminds someone "I had that when I was a kid!" it is a great place to stop and take a peek. It's like foraging in Grandma's attic. Please help support all the local vintage shops in the community. They are all barely getting by with high leases and minimal sales yet they love what they do and are open for your imagination to take flight. Be kind, stay safe and be blessed.
