“I was very pleased with the buy process this morning. Long line of people with many bags (I only had a small bag). They were very kind and said my wait time would only be 15 min! I got $15 for two tops, 1 sweater and 1 pr jeans which made my day The two guys and 1 gal who were working were very upbeat and friendly, despite being pretty busy. ?”
“There is a successful consignment boutique in Burnt Hills, NY 12027 near Schenectady that features an eclectic mix of furniture, collectibles, accessories, home décor, housewares, artwork, designer handbags, jewelry, clothing, and much more. The two floors of the shop are tastefully and effectively organized to showcase its contents.
I have been a consigner and customer here for many years. An appointment is made to consign 10 items per visit. The items are looked over carefully while you wait about 10-15 minutes. The owners are selective about what they "take" because they know what their customers like and what is likely to sell. Guidelines for consigning are posted on the website.
The owners research the consigned items to determine values and fair pricing. They take the time to learn about the items!
The price tags reflect an initial price, a reduced price after 30 days, and a final price after 60 days. The consigner receives 40% of sales.
The owners are skillfull in selling. They advertise items regularly on social media with photos, descriptions, and prices. In addition, they have a well designed sophisticated website to showcase items for sale. They are able to reach a wide audience beyond customers who come to shop in person at the store. They can be contacted by phone about advertised items. They will hold items if asked.
The shop provides a great marketplace both locally and globally for anyone wishing to sell their items or buy vintage, used items.
They hold flea markets for vendors to set up on a Saturdays on the property a few times a year. The shop is open during these markets. There is ample parking.
The personable owners are experienced in sales and the next to new market. They provide a welcoming atmosphere in the shop.”
“An actual flea market. They have a bit of everything, somè things are pristine somethings have a little fle bite. Wishing I had more time to rummage thru everything.”
“So much stuff! This is a place to explore. Clothing, games/puzzles, small appliances, shoes, kitchen items, linens, jewelry. Good condition clothing is by general size (S,M,L,XL) on separate tightly packed racks. Dressing room. Fair prices. Wouldn't classify it as easily accessible by wheelchair/walker and might be difficult with crutches due to tight spacing different levels. Friendly management. Only open Saturdays during current (Jan 2022) pandemic conditions. Masks required. This is a place to dig and hunt; not to scan and see exactly what you are looking for at a glance.Click "like" if this is helpful.”
“I stop in for the first time and I couldn't believe the labels and the great prices. The clerk was so nice everyone was talking and having a great time shopping. I left with 4 pieces, cannot wait to go back!”
“Some extremely unique things in here, and though some of the space is a little congested and tough to walk through (as is often the case with places like this) you could spend a hell of a lot of time here.I didn’t really inquire too much on prices and I don’t know what the haggling situation is, but still more than worth coming in here to check out.”

Used Vintage And Consignment
“Was so excited to stumble on to this store. So well merchandised and filled with lots of great finds. The owner is super nice and so helpful and the dressing rooms were lovely. Found a dress and a pair of shoes from the late 60’s that I know nobody will have. What a find in Schenectady!”
“This is a cute shop with two rooms and lots of items. Your best bet if you want to visit is to CALL CHRISTINE FIRST before you even get in your car or start heading there to make sure she's in. I called around 1:30pm and got no answer. She called back to inform me when she would be in. She owns the building and operates the store herself. She's very honest about if an item is fake/faux or real. The sizing isn't fantastic but lots of vintage clothing wasn't size inclusive anyway. Some items are overpriced but you can still find a few reasonably priced gems as well. Lots of men's, women's, some lingerie, sleep wear, purses, jewelry, hats, etc. A good variety, It's worth the visit.”
“i purchased two beautiful pieces. the lady at the front counter was very helpful and knew all the history about the garments. very large selection and amazing finds”
“Fairly good selection overall. Floors and changing rooms are pretty dirty. Large selection of glassware. Prices are $2-$12 for most clothes. Will definitely come by again!”
“I had a wonderful experience meeting Paula (the owner). The store is filled with lots of really neat finds. She is so passionate about her store it was a good feeling and so welcoming. And yes, I walked away with some really fun "stuff". Give it a try. She's awesome.”
