Taunton Antiques Center

Confused? Most recent review is almost a year old? Are they still an antiques store or more a "anything I can make a buck on" store? Sou ds like video games with antiques? Armand & Mike still involved? Just curious before I drive out?

5 star review

I originally went there to ask about space to sell. I was an awe of the amount of stuff that was there so I spent a solid hour looking. I asked about a specific item and he recommended checking downstairs. I was looking for records. On top the records was a tote with a few Knick knacks that I wanted to buy. The guy at the register refused to sell them saying they weren’t for sale. Don’t for sale at a store where there were other things for sale? Never again will I go back there. I went to the gas station after, there was a sign for gas so I stopped and got it. They sold it to me. Weird way of making a customer happy. I didn’t bother inquiring about renting.

It is placed in what was once the largest tool supplier in the region, and you better believe that the entire thing is filled with antiques of every imaginable variety. The highlight by far is the records. 33s' fill half of the lower-most floor, as well as various areas throught the rest of the establishment. There must be over 9000. All at $1 a piece, in the basement at least. However, variety is somewhat limited for the most part, as there is little past the early 60s down there: Big band mostly. Record condition Is generally pretty serviceable, and, though it may take upwards of 1 hour of hunting, there are treasures to be found. Generally, prices are reasonable, but some sellers charge more than others, so it is recommended to search through the building for an item at the lowest possible price. Almost any antiquer will feel content with the selection, but I have been especially satisfied as a collector of records, vintage stereo equipment, and old electronic junk in general.

Very large antique store with great selection. Has some really cool and unique items. Prices are reasonable.

Amazing selection. Staff is quirky but nice. Owner scoffed at my attempt to haggle prices, then said he should be charging more than the asking price. Beware of the "bait and switch" here. Upselling or charging more than an item is marked is illegal.

The owners mike and Armond are very nice and knowledgeable . Great place e to just look around as well. They have sold items for me in the past and overall, it was very easy.
