    You can always find a little something here. Volunteers are amazing. I was able to find Lenox ornaments for my tree.

    Chuck was hired to do our estate sale for a loved one's belongings…read more I would not recommend Chuck for this type of work. Here are some bullet point reasons: - Chuck changed the percentage and added a fee (that ended up being for advertising )to the contract, upon signing, four days before the actual sale. By the way he typically includes advertising as part of the fee he requests. We were blindsided. He would have been turned away if it were solely up to me, but unfortunately, I had others involved in the decision to use him. - Rather than giving us a guideline for when things needed to be done, for example, signing a contract and time to set up advertising - He claimed it was not too late to get advertising in: Info for advertising in PennySaver should have been done the week before the sale so that the ad would run that weekend before. It was not done. He claimed he could get it in on Wed before the sale. This would have been too late as the sale would already be in full swing. The bottom line, he did not advertise with the money we agreed to give him (against our better judgment) in the two places critical for estate sales- PennySaver ( which would have been late for the sale anyway) and Estatesale.net. He did not purchase any advertising. He used a couple of social media posts and texted people he knew instead. He was poorly equipped- -not enough table ,and the ones he had were very dirty, -signage was simply white computer printer paper. -he did not put enough signs up around town. We actually gave him some materials that he did not use, so we put more signs up ourselves with this material and our own social media postings. While we are so grateful that in the absence of Chuck's lack of preparedness, professionalism, and business ethics, our sale was not a flop, the poor way in which things were run and the fact that he did not do as he agreed to is not something anyone wants to deal with. Lastly, before he agreed to the contract that he changed and we had to negotiate, he wanted to see what was put aside and would not be included in the sale. This is horribly poor taste. He is hired to do a job, and he sells what the client says is up for sale, not what isn't. This is wrong on so many levels but, in my opinion, is taking advantage of those grieving a loss and trying to work through a finality. Yuck! Please think twice before using him for your estate sale.

    Overpriced junk mostly. I was taken aback by some of the prices on the merchandise. No way would I…read morepay what they were asking on most items. It's mostly just trinkets and other old stuff from the homes of dead grandmas, which there is no shortage of in Batavia. Would I return? Nope. Might someone else find something they appreciate here? It's possible. Good luck!

    I really wasn't ever going to do a review of this place, mostly because I want to keep it as my own…read morelittle secret, but that's just not fair of me. I have been going to this little shop on the lake - we call it "Sally Ann's" for years. No one understand why we go there, but I'll attempt to explain. For starters - the two girls at the counter - Diane and Doreen have become like family. We've shared dog stories, kid problems and basically just gotten to know two people that we wouldn't have ever met if we didn't make that first trip in. Secondly - with all the stress of today - it's great to be able to go somewhere and just rummage through stuff. It's sorta like a forever yard sale and the selections are endless. Sure you have to pick through a lot to find the steal, but every once in awhile - it just takes our minds off from everything else. It's amazing that if you just give it a shot - what you might find. PLUS - we donate everything we don't want or need right back to this location. We don't throw anything usable out or save it for our own yard sale. Instead - we meticulously record every item we donate and receive receipts, which turn out to save us huge on tax returns. From genuine coach purses - to really great knock offs - to New Religion Jeans, Anne Taylor - RL - Tommy - you name it - you might find it here. Yes - some clothes and some items should have been tossed out or used for rags - but that's the fun of it - picking through all that stuff. Sure you might have a load of laundry to wash - you just can't beat the price for grandchildren's play clothes or for those pants to mow the lawn in. How about that brand new pair of dress pants with that new shirt still with the tags. I'm sorry, but I like a bargain and I don't mind shopping around in a thrift store. For service, staff friendliness - this store would get 5 stars, however, it is very disorganized and not the cleanest of places - so I am dropping it down to 4 stars and hope no one shops here!
