“Attended a workshop and painted an adorable laser wood cut bumble bee welcome sign! The owner and her assistant were friendly and helpful showing us techniques for painting! They offered beverages and snacks, too! The workshop was reasonably priced and all the supplies were provided and included!
I also made a purchase of some glassware they had for sale amongst their antiques/treasures!”
“I spent an afternoon looking at everything in this antique store & found some amazing things. What a find! It was my first time & I’ll definitely be back. Dan was so friendly & fun to talk to, his booth had some great designer items with inexpensive price tags. My favorite piece was a Murano glass bowl. I also picked up some Kaws plastic toys & a gently used John Derain tray. So fun.”
“I work at the auction hall and I have knowledge of some of these reviews. Everyone makes mistakes... No business or person is perfect... And challenges of operating a small business sometimes don't allow return phone calls inline with todays world of instant gratification. Admittedly, the company definitely struggles with return communication sometimes, especially with people who are let's just say more intensive communicators. That said, many of the hateful reviews I have seen here paint a false picture of evil and cheating. I just want to point out that is not the case. The company doesn't cheat people, and wouldn't have been able to stay in business for almost 5 decades, and voted Best in Hudson Valley everytime Auction House was on the ballot, if they were cheating people. I'm not going to point out any one specifically, but I'd just like to say that a few of these posters have embellished and made mountains out of molehills or multiple posts under different names to try and hurt the company's image. Sometimes the market doesn't meet reasonable expectations for sellers, and it rarely meets unreasonable expectations. And all results are published publicly and available online so it is easy to verify what an item sold for. There is no trickery or cheating... It's not even possible when eveything is published publicly. And FTR there is no taking advatange of elderly or people who moved out of state.These are a grossly innacurate accusations. I have seen the company stand behind it's service and make right for anytime there is a mistake / accident / shortcoming. Sometimes even when the fault is not on the company. It would be nice if these reviews were vetted for accuracy. I am proud of the effort that I have seen the company put forth to be good stewards and treat buyers and sellers as best as possible and always in good faith. For that I am happy to give 5 Stars.”
“Hoffman's barn will blow you away.
The prices are really good. And if it was made, you have a good shot of finding it there, you could spend a day there and still not see everything I love. The place I am a new fan and is well worth the trip. I recommend anyone looking for antiques or whatnot. give it a shot, you will become a fan too kudos. To the owner. You have a fan in me.I'm sure I will be back many times to spend more money.”
