Many years I've been promising myself I would stop in here on my trek to or from Buffalo to or from…read moreSmokin' Joe's. This was the year; today was the day. And I am so glad I finally stopped. Sanborn Old General Store is a rabbit warren of antiques, collectibles, and general household things you might be looking for, even if you didn't know it before you visited. But I was looking for two lamps, one for a book case and a floor model. Found both. Each little section belongs to a different seller, each seller renting a space for their wares. One sales host on site when I stopped in today, Geraldine. She was very helpful. I found lamps that would work for me, each one belonging to a different seller. The prices were reasonable, but I had a limit of what I could spend on the two. Geraldine called the sellers with my offers. First was accepted, second was a compromise. A third item, a plant stand, interested me, but it was new to the store so the dealer declined my offer. I will check back in about two weeks when I'm next out that way. Because of the quantity and variety of items in the store, the place is a collector's dream ... and a museum for all. Even if you don't live near Sanborn (I'm about 25 miles away), I'm sure you will enjoy the experience. There is also a very clean and cozy rest room.

Great place, lots of stuff inside. Plan to spend some time here. A lot of everything - toys,…read moreglassware, furniture, household, guitars, jewelry - could be found in room after room of this expansive store. Everyone wore masks and there was hand sanitizer at the entrance, along with restrooms somewhere towards the back. The guy at the desk (owner?) was not very friendly today and there weren't many people inside, but we made our way through and found some HO train stuff and a nice necklace. Not a hot day outside but pretty stuffy inside, so be prepared on hot days (not sure there is AC). We would definitely stop back in the future.

It's amazing how someone who shares the parking lot with the whitebread, soccer mom clientele…read moredrawing vendor fair that is three buildings of Rustic Buffalo Market can give me such opposingly delightful vibes in one double storied building. Maybe I wasn't the crowd their neighbors were looking for, but if you'd rather look at the past, instead of the candle hawking Bills mafia, like me, then you've come to the right place. They've got dishes of all sorts. They've got books if you like to read, and toys if you like to play. There are even clothes for the folk that like that old fashioned style, or just plain don't want to be naked. (While there isn't a sign, I'm assuming no shirt, no shoes, no service applies here. There is however a stated mask clause for the unvaccinated, so beware.) There's doodads in every crevice, from retro Grimace McDonalds combs to- well, I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. Let's just say there's lots of stuff. And things. Lots of things. If you head upstairs, you'll find a bathroom, and a snack bar that runs on the honor system. They looked a bit dusty to me, as you've probably come for the nifty stuff in this time machine of a barn and not snackage, but maybe just hit up Hoovers while you're in town and make a day of it, eh? P.s. Don't pick the statue noses. There are cameras everywhere!

There are some interesting sections, but not necessarily the best selection of wares.read more

My NY friend and I visited this place and I was so delighted with all the vendors and art displays…read more The chapel is beautiful with high ceilings and stained glass tall windows. Items for sale were all reasonably priced and there were around 160 vendors. It took awhile to decide what I wanted/needed to buy. Finally bought 3 stained glass flowers ($5 ea) to put in my planters and a pretty necklace ($18). I wanted another necklace but it had no price and there was no answer from the artist after the cashier tried to get a hold of them which is a shame because they lost a sale). I was visiting from another state but I hope I get another chance to go back.

The Ransomville Antique Co-Op is in a beautiful building that used to be a church. Their furniture…read moreis beautiful and they have a nice collection of vintage hats. The glassware is also eye-catching. The Co-Op is three stories of antiquey goodness. While the furniture is extraordinary, someone always beats me to the punch. They's always a sold sign on each beautiful piece. The Co-Op mostly has glassware, but this is definately a place to check out if you're into antiques. I've found a few vintage instructional manuals that have come in handy. There are a few drawbacks to the Ransomville Co-Op. The first being is that they are not consistently opened. I have dropped by many times only to find a sign saying that they'll "be back soon." Now I always call ahead to make sure someone is there. Another thing that bothers me are the posters strung up around the Co-Op. I think one "you break it, you bought it" sign should suffice. Or even one in each corner. There just seems to be a lot of them. But overall, this is a nice place.

A promo just popped up on my feed. Since I love estate sales, I knew we had to visit. We got a bag full of goodies, including Pyrex, Fiestaware, and several other great items for about $25. The prices are low, the inventory is super interesting, and it's totally worth a visit. BTW, they have air conditioning, in case you're concerned as I was. Also the guys who work there (the owners maybe?) are super friendly. And you'll probably find any and all trinkets your grandmas had at one point. Definitely visit if in Lockport! It's right next to that weird crumbling castle thing too. Haha!

Stumbled across this place while doing volunteer work in the area…read more The name is slightly misleading. This is not a wholesale establishment- this is an antique store filled with items that have been collected from estates. Some people say "one mans trash is another mans treasure." I say 90% is still trash, but it doesn't hurt to look. Everything in here is old. They have a little of everything from furniture to mattresses to glassware to pillows to rusty old tools to collectible sports memorabilia to costume jewelry to Christmas decor to makeup products. Picture everything you've ever seen in your grandparents home and transport it here. This is not my cup of tea, but I totally get that it is for a lot of people. Why the 3 stars? The man behind the register was not wearing a mask when he cashed us out for our $1 rusty tool purchase. The signs on the doors and the floors are appropriate requiring masking and distancing, the employees should have to do the same.
