EXPENSIVE PRICES
While the items are noteworthy, fans have slammed the store’s expensive prices.
“It was cool, some items we looked at for ourselves we thought were too pricey,” one customer said during a recent visit.
“The items that are obtained on the road are marked up dramatically,” a second complained.
“It seemed like it was more of a showroom of overpriced stuff from the show and a gift shop. They could do better,” a third customer criticized.
“Antique prices crazy high, along with any souvenir. Guess it’s a been there, done that place,” a fourth said.
HIGH SALES
Despite the pricey items, Antique Archaeology Nashville’s estimated annual sales, per Experian’s Business Valuation Report, are reportedly $903,000 as of July 2023.
The company’s Business Credit Score is “low risk,” meaning there is a “good probability of on-time payment,” according to the report.
As for the Financial Stability Risk Ratings, Antique Archaeology received a low risk of two out of five rating, meaning a “1.11 percent potential risk of severe financial distress within the next 12 months.”
