Dealer Spotlight: Colorful Nostalgia with Dealer #850

Step into the bright, playful world of Dealer #850, located on Budapest Lane and in Case #21 on Antwerp Lane at Antique World Mall.

“I should have known this would happen to me!” says Dealer #850, who grew up surrounded by parents who collected and loved antiques. That early influence inspired a lifelong love of collecting—beginning with stickers, trolls, stuffed animals, Polly Pockets, McDonald’s toys, and Beanie Babies.

As the years passed, those childhood collections expanded to include CDs and wonderfully wild jewelry. “What can I say? I’m a ’90s kid!”

With plenty of encouragement and help from her biggest enablers—also known as her parents—she opened her first vintage booth around 2014 and has been going strong ever since. As her many collections have grown, her booth has become the perfect place to share the pieces she is finally ready to part with and allow someone else to enjoy them.

Her style is best described as kitschy, colorful, eclectic, and sometimes delightfully obnoxious. Much of that style was inspired by her teenage bedroom, which featured an orange iron bed, a shag rug, road signs and posters covering splatter-painted walls, and Abercrombie bags—you know the ones—tacked to the ceiling.

Today, she brings that same sense of color, nostalgia, individuality, and fun to her spaces at Antique World Mall. Shoppers may discover funky clothing, colorful jewelry, the perfect cat figurine, a whimsical trinket box, a funny mug, or another unexpected treasure that brings back a favorite memory.
