Why should you buy antiques?
They’re one-of-a-kind
When you purchase an antique, it’s safe to say you don’t have to worry about everyone else having the same item. If you’re tired of seeing the same types of furniture and décor over and over, switching it up with some vintage pieces is the perfect way to go. They’re a great way to show off your unique tastes and bring personality to even the most contemporary-styled spaces.
With our ReStores featuring items dated at over 100 years old, you can get your hands on a relic that is quite literally irreplaceable. There’s something special in knowing that your purchase is truly one-of-a-kind.
Antiques are green
Antique hunting is eco-friendly shopping. These items are inherently recycled and reused and you’re helping to extend its life even longer.
While it’s a shame to see, many beautiful collectables end up in the landfill. Your purchase through the ReStore means you can bring home a hidden treasure and help preserve our environment – talk about a win-win.
The thrill of antique hunting
While it might not be the first thing that jumps to mind when you think of antiques, the process of hunting down the perfect item can truly be quite the thrill. Its unpredictability draws shoppers back time and time again. Each time you step into our ReStore, you never know what collectables you might find on our shelves.
They don’t go out of style
One might even dub antiques “trend-proof.” With so many fads coming and going, you can rest assured knowing your antiques will never be one of them.
Antiques can add class and flavour to any home décor that’s simply timeless. Knowing that your vintage items will always be in style, you can pass them down through generations for your family to cherish.
You can make money
While this might not be your main motivation for buying antiques, it’s definitely a factor to consider. What might start out as a casual hobby can turn into a serious money maker.
The popularity of antique hunting is constantly on the rise. With items only increasing in value over time, some collectors will pay the big bucks to get their hands on your valuable antiques.
Every item has a story
While some people might see antiques as old, we like to think of them as a piece of history. Each item carries its own story, and when you set your hands on that item you become a part of that story. With antiques you’re not just looking back on history, you’re able to bring this bit of the past to life in your home.
Affordable prices on priceless items
At Habitat HM we believe all antiques are priceless. They come with their own stories and are irreplaceable. But that doesn’t mean you have to break the bank to bring one of our items home with you.
We want to bring you the best deals for your antique hunting, so we greatly mark down the sale price from its estimated retail value.
How the ReStore supports Habitat’s mission
Our mission is simple: build as many affordable homes for hardworking and deserving families within our community as we can. So how does the ReStore fit into this vision?
All revenue from sales in our ReStore (like your purchases of antiques) helps to cover administration costs that are necessary for the operation of a not-for-profit. With your help covering these expenses, that means we can direct all our resources into helping fuel this mission.
