Oddities & Such

My wife and I are way into antiques. We have been looking for a new spot in the area, and I stumbled across Oddities and Such from Google. We stopped in today, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have found this spot. This is such a cool place, filled to the brim with carefully curated treasures and we felt honored to look around. But, if I’m being honest, our time with Big Red really made our day. Richard is a wonderful guy who cheerfully greeted us at the door. We struck up a conversation and ended up finding he likes orange soda. We had to run to the ATM to get cash (this place is cash only) and we picked him up an ice cold orange soda as a little surprise. In our conversation, I found out that our birthdays are one day apart. He started calling me Little Red (because of my red hair) and shared stories with us about his childhood and his past adventures. All in all, today we left this shop feeling excited for the wonderful things we found and fulfilled from the time we got to spend with our new friend, Big Red. Seriously, I’ll be back like once a week now, not only to check out the new finds but to check in on one of the coolest guys I have ever met.

Had been meaning to stop by since we moved here about a year ago and finally did today! Very friendly owner and a lot of great furniture pieces as well as neat knickknacks too! Had wonderful conversation with the owner and even learned a bit about Carrboro/Chapel Hill (: Highly recommend stopping in.

My husband and I took the day for antiquing and we ran across Odyssey and Such. Definately full of vintage and antiques. We found some vintage building blocks, Lego type, for our grandson, from the seventies.
The owner, Richard, was very interesting and a pleasure to speak with. Loved his story of the peach tree growing next to his building ! 💛

This place is incredible! Mostly furniture, but the owner has so much of everything. Little nick knacks and collectibles, unique pieces, you name it. Great to find things for art or DIY projects. I found an antique cigarette case on my last trip that's absolutely beautiful.

Recently moved here from MI and only brought what could fit in my van. I've gone to a few other stores and this should have been my first stop. This place is small but it has a lot to offer. Richard is the owner and a native to chapel hill/ carrboro. He will hat with you and tell you about the area. The store takes cash or check. He will bring your item out to the car for you. Awesome place, highly recommended.

Reasonable prices for nice furniture and the owner is a super friendly guy. I’ll definitely be coming back.

The name really says it all. It's an interesting place with an interesting owner. The merchandise changes all the time, the real value is in speaking to the owner who has lived in Carrboro for decades. If you are looking for something here he has probably seen it, bought it, sold it, or knows where to get it.

This is a great place to shop for antiques, the owner Richard is really lovely to chat with. Highly recommend!!!

This place is fun to visit. It's run by a man who opened it in 1960s. He tells you several stories about the area and his store.

A super interesting place packed with all the furniture you can think of! The owner was helpful and kind. We will be back!

Cool place! Great owner, be sure to ask for a story about his Ft. Bragg days!

Talk about a hidden gem. This store is packed. Antiques galore in different conditions.

Owner is friendly and helpful! Great prices for used furniture

Really interesting shop that's full of surprises, treasures, and great deals!

Great finds and owner!

The best in oddities.
