Let us do the hard work of sorting, appraising, selling and moving your items while getting you top dollar for your possessions. Barrett Street is one of the few Auction Centers that handles all sellable items within a home from front door to backdoor, from basement to attic.
It's easy to let "things" clutter and control your life, but as professional appraisers and auctioneers, we can come in and help you differentiate between items that have real-world monetary value and those that have sentimental value. Barrett Street can work with you, the homeowner, the family, or an appointed executor or administrator to help organize, sort, appraise and clean your property. We handle all aspects of removal including dumpster service and all employees supply necessary equipment.

Very cool place, but I do agree with some of the other reviews in that the staff is less than pleasant. I do understand the fragile nature of the inventory but they are so protective over the merchandise that it feels like more of a museum than a retail store. And god forbid you ask a question. seems like they don't want that.

This place is huge! If you're into antiques or collectibles, you should definitely drop in. Be prepared to lose a couple hours looking at everything. Tons of furniture, Pyrex, glassware, collectibles, jewelry, and vintage clothing. The pricing seems pretty reasonable. There are cats in the store though, so if you're allergic, be warned. There's also a sign on the door alerting to the cats. Very friendly and helpful staff!

If you want vintage action figures ranging from Batman to Iron Man, the Hulk and others from DC to Marvel, this is the place to go. Take your time in this place because it's busting feom the walls with great items. They also have an incredible Star Wars collection. This place is amazing. A five all the way.

There is a very large variety of novelty items antiques, and collectables. Lots of rooms filled to the brim with stuff. Employees were friendly. And bathroom was very clean. Only draw back was some of the rooms/areas were a little over filled in the sense that you were afraid to really move around. Other that it was a very pleasant visit.

Bought a beautiful piece of crystal here on Friday. It was supposed to be the perfect wedding gift. While I was waiting in line to check out a young man behind the counter took off part of the green paper tag that was along the bottom of the vase and wrapped the crystal in paper and had it already bagged when it was my turn to check out. I got home and unwrapped it to hand wash it before giving as a gift.
I pulled off the green paper & clear packing tape from the base, that's when I saw that this vase had a large chip and the base was cracked. It wasn't a lot of money but I felt gypped. I immediately called the store and was told that I could bring it back in to show the owner but all sales are final. No apology, just "all sales are final." Lesson learned. Doubt that I will return. I'm sure my patronage won't hurt their business, but for me it spoke volumes to today's mentality on service.

Pros: Neat place to visit. They have a WIDE selection. The store and items are Clean, and The staff was ready to help. Cons: Noticed a vendor that was selling antique Black Face items. Frankly, It's just disturbing to see. Last, We were initially charged double for an item and had to redo the transaction. What was turning into a good first experience (despite the black face items) suddenly became very uncomfortable.
The staff took care of the incorrect charge; you just can't help but to wonder if it was a mistake or. ya know. I could recommend this business to others. just pay attention to pricing.

Barrett's is a great place to buy antiques. The owner is very nice and is willing to talk to you about any questions you may have about their processes or items you may have. He is very knowledgeable. You have to go often as products are always changing. Go here just for fun to see all of the eclectic items. There Old things out there you never knew existed. And as they say, all things old are good.

This was an amazing experience. My family (of five) and I all wandered around this depot for hours. There were points where we all lost each other in the winding labyrinth of shelves and antiques. Some areas felt impossible to still be part of this store and even our dimension. Highly recommend it. 5/5 starss
