Editorial Review for Scott Antique Market – by Ginger Massey
The Deal
On the second weekend of every month, antique hounds usually drive the truck to Scott, which caters to those looking for a handsome piece of furniture or china in excellent condition. Scott shoppers tend to have money to burn--watch out for sticker shock. At least the higher prices parallel the facilities; both buildings (one on either side of I-285) are air-conditioned and heated.
The Goods
Some of the best dealers around set up shop here, selling everything from large wood pieces such as armoires, dressers and dining tables to elaborate jewelry, fabrics, sterling silver and Oriental rugs. Very few items are new, but the antiques run the gamut on age. Check out the few outside vendors for garden furniture, old iron fences and statuettes.

First off, let me say that this market is HUGE. You could spend all day looking around these two exhibition halls. The sheer size of the market ensures that you will probably find just about any antique piece you're looking for here. While I have noticed that many of the booths are overpriced, if you are an educated buyer and willing to negotiate a bit, there are certainly bargains to be had. We have had particularly good luck buying large pieces of furniture here. If price is a primary concern, try going on Sunday, as the vendors will slash prices toward the end of the weekend in order to move merchandise.
Pros: selection, variety, vendors are pleasant, generally fair prices
Cons: no airconditioning, delivery not always easy, some vendors are overpriced

I can't wait for this once a month event. You never know what you will find, and each booth is totally different, from merchandise, presentation, and the wonderful individuals who show their wares. Being a jewelry freak, so help me, I always find something I have to bring home. And most of the fun is the haggle of the price with the merchants. Such great people. It's like seeing old friends once a month. An Atlanta tradition.
Pros: Quality Merchndise Selection, Wonderful Staff!
Cons: Too Far Away From My Home, But That's O.K.
