Pretty quiet, definitely more antique-oriented than thrift, although they do have a little bit of EVERYTHING(like yes, even slide projectors). I look for electronics and media, and they didn’t have too much in the way of what I wanted, but I’ll definitely check back in again sometime. They had lots of bric-à-brac and glassware. Lots of nice wood furniture, no upholstered furniture, which is a good thing though, you don’t get that certain used item odor. While the items were all in good condition, I did feel like a spider could land on me while I was in there. The only drawback is they have too much for their space, and aisles are skinny, and lots of things were shoved behind furniture and wall art. Seriously, looking at almost anything forces you to move a painting or chair out of the way. No kids items or clothing(not a bad thing though). They had a lot of books but they were mostly books that should have been thrown out years ago, yellowed travel guides and stuff like that. They surprisingly had no vinyl, unless someone cleans them out of vinyl regularly. Almost no DVDs, and the VHS wasn’t of particularly good quality either. Furniture/living room bits and bobs is definitely the focus here. Had a beautiful grandfather clock($ 175) for pretty cheap I would have bought if I had the room. Lots of nice wall clocks too. Owner was friendly, definitely an old-timer hangout, what antique malls and flea markets used to be like before they got more cutthroat. They seem to have weekend auctions every week. Hopefully next time I decide to stop by they purge/reorganize some of their books, etc but I doubt it.

A good old fashioned antique emporium. Row upon tiny row of stuffed in merchandise of all kinds. Everything you could imagine and more. Fun to look around and especially great if you are a collector of a certain item. They have so much it could take days to really look it all over. Definitely worth a stop!

Harry’s is like three garage sales, one thrift shop, an entire antique mall, and a few estate sales… all shoved under one roof. Damn, there’s a lot of stuff in there! If you’re the type who salivates watching the guys on American Pickers dig through rusty, dusty warehouses, you will be in heaven here. I know I was. There were sections that were especially junky, but in a way that held promise. Like, you knew that if you had the time to pull everything out of the pile, you would find something good. At Harry’s, volume is on your side. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular when I entered, but within 5 minutes I found something I couldn’t leave behind. It was a 20s/30s celluloid vanity set — brush, comb, mirror, nail file, shoe horn, and trinket box — with a really cool deco pattern, for only $ 22. I had to dig around to find all the available pieces, which is kind of a theme here. For example, if you find only part of a food processor, don’t give up… you might need to shuffle things around to find all the components, but they’re most likely there(hiding under some random pots and pans). As you have probably gathered, this ain’t fancy shopping. Don’t dress up, and do expect to get your hands dirty. But if the idea of a treasure hunt combined with a game of concentration(with the possibility of a mouse darting out at any moment) sounds like fun to you, you will get hooked on Harry’s.

This place IS everything-yes, everything. There is almost certainly something you are looking for just because its a super hootenanny of second hand stuff. There is a warehouse full of furniture(nice stuff too, none of that crap from the ’80’s that everyone is trying to pawn off on you,) and everything else. Books, glassware, tools, clocks, you name it and I’m sure you’ll find it here, if you dig hard enough and don’t mind paying near retail value for it. The Gents running the place are great, they’re friendly, helpful and according the Jenn J., generous and kind. If I need anything in the future I know I’ll go here rather than any other place where I’m just rolling the dice on getting what I need and putting up with the occasional rude folk.

My brother and I had the unfortunate task of placing our mom in a care facility. We had to clean out her house, and Harry totally saved the day. He came in on a Friday, gave me a fair estimate on the furniture, and bought most of it. On Saturday, we had a yard sale and at the end of the day, Harry came by and offered us a blanket price for the things that didn’t sell. He even loaned us tables for the yard sale. It was a life-saver to have his help. If you have a chance, go by his warehouse. It’s floor-to-ceiling chock full of cool stuff. Give yourself time. There is SO much to see, and you’ll want to browse. Great place, great guy. I’ll never forget his kindness.
