We Buy Antiques: How it Works
The Barn only buys antiques outright, we don’t take items on consignment. We are not interested in purchasing most common antique items. We do purchase certain rare and/or high end antique items; as well as some common antique items that are still in high demand.
We get asked all the time, “What do you buy?”, and “What don’t you buy?”. Unfortunately, there are far too many items to list. And the market changes rapidly, so items that we are currently buying, we may not be interested in purchasing a month from now.
If you have antique items you want us to consider purchasing, please email photos of the items to [email protected], and include your name and phone number. If we are interested in purchasing your items, you will receive a response within one week.
Please understand, we received dozens of emails every week from people wanting to sell us items. And many of the emails contain questions like: “If you are not interested, can you tell me who would be interested?”, “Can you tell me what my items are worth?”, “Can you provide me with information regarding my items?”, and many more. We simply don’t have the time to respond to all the emails we receive, or to answer all the questions we get. We only respond if we are interested in purchasing your items. If you have questions regarding your items, we suggest contacting an appraiser, auction house, or a downsizing company.
