Wow, they must have been having an off day (as we do from time to time). I am a regular visitor to Abel Traders. They have such a good range of items from antique-like furniture, tables, chairs, lounge suites to smaller items such as pre-loved art. The shop floor keeps changing and I am always keen to see what "new" stuff they have got. The prices are real reasonable and the dealings I have with the current owners has been great. So far I have bought a A2 framed art piece and bedside drawers. My buying experience was real good. I wish I could buy more, which is why I keep going back.

Thanks Trish and Gareth for your feedback. Gareth, As the new owner of Abel Traders, we pride ourselves on delivering a good shopping experience for customers looking for good quality secondhand furniture at an affordable price. With new stock arriving each week, we can no longer place items on hold. I have acted on your feedback and all staff have now been updated with our store "no hold" policy. My apologies that this has caused some confusion and frustration.
After my old recliner chair broke, I decided to go shopping for a new-ish couch. At a family member's recommendation, I checked out this second-hand store, Abel Traders, on Ghuznee St. My own opinion? DO NOT SHOP THERE. I went in, and found a rather nice high-backed 3 seater with a footstool for a reasonable price. The salesman was very helpful, helped me measure it up (wasn't sure it would fit through the door) and offered to hold it for me if I rang back and said it would fit. On calling back, I instead got someone else I believe to be a manager, as the salesman I talked to had gone home. He said they 'didn't do holds' unless they 'saw some dollars, some money', and I could 'come in and put a couple of bucks down'. When I said the salesman offered to hold it for me, he started going on about the salesman being Irish and promising the world, including a rather bad mock-Irish imitation. I *was* going to go back in tomorrow and buy that couch, but if that's how they speak to their customers and about their staff, I will be shopping elsewhere. It's not on, and completely unacceptable.
Two totally different experiences here. The lady I meet was awesome and very helpful. They guy I went back to was rude, pushy and totally unprofessional. Won't be shopping here again.
I've dealt with Abel Traders and they are awesome!! Wide variety of furniture and awesome people. Most definately recommend that place to anyone!!!!
Great shopping experience, staff are friendly and helpful, good range of furniture, and even organised delivery for me. Highly recommend if your looking for good quality 2nd hand items.
I find for second hand goods, some of the prices can buy you a brand new item.
