News-Antique.com - Jun 07,2008 - Elaine Maloney, owner of the Plantsville General Store Antique Center (Plantsville, Connecticut) is turning back the collectible’s clock in a “Basement Gone Bonkers Sale” on June 13th and 14th. Hold onto you hats....... the lower level of this 5000 square foot antique mall is so stuffed with antiques and collectibles from eras bygone that Elaine’s husband Dave says “out it goes”. Not only can you buy quality items in the basement for 75 % cent off, but you can walk away with box lots for peanuts when dealers offer their bonkers sidewalk sale as well. When was the last time you saw Dimestore era prices?
With gas prices “out of control” the staff at The Plantsville General Store has cooked up a special treat for “bonkers weekend”. Shoppers will be able to enter a drawing for a gas card worth $100.00. And everyone is treated to complimentary iced tea, coffee and butter cookies whenever they visit Elaine and Dave, owners of this antiques and collectibles haven in Central Connecticut
