Good morning sunshines 🌞 We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend celebrating the 250th birthday of the greatest country in the world 🇺🇲🎆🙌

✌️BIG things happening today at The Slab Lab‼️

1️⃣ Jake is back from vacation!! Yay! 🥳Stop in and ask him about his trip 🧳

2️⃣ Today ends our temporary period of not buying 😱

📢 Although, we had originally hoped to accommodate walk-in customers on a daily basis. It comes down to the fact that we don't have the staff or time needed to dedicate to the sheer volume of customers looking to sell their items. As of now the days in which customers can bring in currency, silver, gold, cards or memorabilia for potential sale or trade will be ...

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY: walk-in or by appointment.

THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY: By appointment only.

Appointments will always take priority-- even on days we allow walk-ins.

**The majority of what we are attempting to gain better control over are larger lots and collections. If you have a few or small number of items it is much more manageable for us to take a look and make an offer any day or time, and without the need for an appointment**

Thank you all for your patience & understanding as we navigate different processes and work flows in an attempt to find a schedule that is not only accommodating to our customers but also ensures our overall success as a local small business here in Princeton!! 📍 🏬🛍

As always if you have any questions don't hesitate to call or message ☎️📩
