Finally checked out this spot after wanting to come for a long time. They have 5 floors of antiques…read morebelonging to many different vendors, so each one you walk through has its own style and character. You could spend hours here. They have everything, clothes, decorations, kitchenware, large furniture--basically anything and everything. There's elevators and they do have a parking lot although parking was tight and crowded. But it is also accessible by Lechmere station. We found some cool paintings and a decorative dish. I would come back here! You can pay by card and the workers were friendly. Some things were pricey but some reasonable, it depends on the booth you were purchasing from.

Pretty unique place. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came by…read morehere last Saturday afternoon, basically on the recommendation of my Lord and Savior Reddit as an indoor activity we could do before the Celtics game later in the evening. My chum is a big shopper and I like wandering around in life trying to find random objects to emotionally imprint on, so it was a good match. I was also impressed by the idea of five entire floors dedicated to this, which we didn't even come close to completely exploring. The negatives were minimal but significant - the market was insanely crowded, especially on the first floor, and it was teeming with Gen Zers holding out their phones, presumably ecstatic that they'd found juicy TikTok content for their cottagecore fans or whatever. It was a lot and difficult to navigate; we had to pause a lot to make our way through, though it wasn't quite as bad on the other floors. And I'm not sure there's a solution to it; what are you going to do, have a quota for the number of people in the building at a given time? That would just involve bottlenecking and customers standing outside in the cold. So just make sure you're caffeinated and mentally prepared for people. I grew up with a mother who spiritually lived in Jane Austen novels so antique shops were a way of life. They're not known for their minimalist interiors but this was a ton of stuff by any measure. I don't think I've seen this amount of clutter in a space that didn't give off massive hoarder vibes. And it sort of had themes; there were alcoves or little areas divvied off that were, say, more nautical items, or more outdoorsy forest items. I can't even imagine how they managed to even quasi-successfully organize this kind of inventory but it definitely helps a little. My chum knows my taste, or lack thereof, and located a masterpiece (attached) which will be displayed prominently in my kitchen. The quirky artwork was abundant, to say the least. She also spied a magnificent Saturday Evening Post with my BFF Nixon on the cover, which I will be framing shortly and adding to the fray as well. If you don't spend a solid 45 minutes in here and not find a few choice treasures to bring home, that's on you. I was also impressed that they had easy-to-find restroom facilities on every floor (or close to it), right by the staircases. Not only were they convenient bathroom options, but they worked well as de facto changing rooms (which my chum took advantage of when she encountered a wild flapper dress on one of the higher floors). There were a few employees roaming around for both assistance and I imagine, sadly, to minimize potential shoplifting but it didn't seem overly egregious and everyone I encountered first hand or second hand was very friendly. One of the highlights of the trip for sure - political bovine posters are hard to come by.

How can I take a good picture? I don't know if I have time for this...) and when I found LRN I thought I would do some stress outsourcing. LRN does everything for you, from taking gorgeous professional photos to giving you the option of shipping your clothes and accessories to them. Siblings Eric and Andrea are incredibly kind and great at their jobs. They manage their sales on multiple platforms giving the consigner a greater chance of selling and their consigner agreements are very generous. Plus they have been great communicators and available through email for my questions and any updates. I tried to get some quotes from other local consigners and left with some low quotes for classic pieces. Use Luxury Resale Network if you're looking to get fair prices and great service. Thank you Eric and Andrea!!

I'm a professional auctioneer (MA lic#119) who has used Maxsold for about 2 years now. I couldn't…read morebe happier. Many of the poor reviews here, have to do with the fact that the people writing them don't understand the terms and conditions of Maxsold or the auction process in general. The company is VERY TRANSPARENT. For example, if one wants to get a legitimate feel for how much items can sell for, I suggest they go to the Past Auctions results, where visitors can see what items have actually sold for at the end of every auction. NO OTHER AUCTION COMPANY that I know of lists such an extensive past auction history - for free. (This Past Auctions Record is also a valuable tool for pricing research) The fact that all items start at $1.00 and sell without reserve, (aka Absolute Auction) is the secret sauce. The absolute auction model is overall the most successful and most popular format in the auction industry. As far as claims that Maxsold doesn't do any advertising, many of you reading this realize that this isn't true. They extensively advertise on all major social media fronts, TV and Radio. After holding over 30 auctions with Maxsold, I've never gotten ONE late payment. Below are core metrics from a recent auction I had on Maxsold with some collectibles, bric-a-brac and coins etc. I CANNOT get those kind of results ANYWHERE else for these kinds of items! 1. Almost 8,000 views! 2. 3071 Bids! 3. 99.62% sell through! I love the auction industry, I've been in it since the late 1970s and I just hate to see a good company bashed by people who don't understand the auction process, Maxsold is a good company. If I had a better place to sell my estate finds, I would use it! Thank You for Indulging!
