What clients say about Oldies Marketplace in Newburyport (MA)
Drove 40 minutes to come here today. It is temporarily closed until March. No updates saying so on website or on Google Maps. Please update both to reflect being temporarily closed.
I've visited twice and I enjoyed browsing and having sticker shock ?. I found a few items that caught my attention and wallet.
Antiques, collectables, ornaments, books ?, ⏺️ records, glassware, ECT, both new and old items. I even found an unopened 8 track cassette. My daughter liked it, my son was indifferent ? and my friend, she isn't into "old things".
My experience with the associates who handled my transactions were friendly. I was told they will be open in the winter ? until they can't take the cold anymore.
Update: September 2025; You never know what you will find here! Always an enjoyable exploration!
There is a parking ?️ lot next door.
Stop ? by and see what you think ?. It's worth a look.
Spacious, well-organized, not cluttered or crowded, many of the booths have well-defined themes, not just a jumble of junk. Paying for this level of quality.
Very fun place to walk around, definitely some unique and interesting things in there. However, not everything's an antique really - I picked up a vintage-looking padlock only to later discover it's just a cheap thing you can pick up online for less. I'd always rather support a local shop than an online store, but something about just reselling stuff you can find on Amazon for a few dollars more feels 'off' when it's in an antique shop
A little pricey but so much to see you'll need to go through more than once! Seriously, if you don't see something you like, you walked through with your eyes closed!
I went to oldies little side Beer and garden at oldies, and I had a great experience with a tender named Molly, she was the absolute sweetest, and she listened to whatever I had going on she’s the best and deserves a raise from whatever she gets paid. I will 100% come back!
Antique store in a huge barn on the historic waterfront in Newburyport. Dozens of individual vendors are represented but there is one checkout station. They have a no haggling policy but their prices are decent. They have glassware, posters, tools, magazines, decorative items, silverware, furniture, clothing, and many other things. Usually pretty busy on the weekend and lots of people in line to buy.
First of all, they should not allow dogs in there. A dog peed all over the floor and unbeknownst to me, I stepped in it. Disgusting.
Second of all, the people running the checkout are extremely snobby and rude. The sign said, “4 for $1.” I told that to Peggy, one of the rudest and stuck up person in customer service I have ever met. She rang it up as $4. When I politely corrected her, she walked away all upset. I don’t understand why there was one person on the computer typing and Peggy reading the prices to her, but when Peggy walked away pouting, the other lady had to take over and she had no clue how to run the computer and read prices at the same time. It was a mess.
The little rugs all over the store smelled of mold and urine. In one booth, a dog left fecal matter in the corner and we couldn’t even go in there due to the smell.
I was very disappointed as I love antiquing and was excited to visit this store. I was not impressed at all. The place is disgusting due to the dogs, moldy carpets, and the customer service was the worse.
With love from PI. Oldies is wonderful and I have gone there for about 30 years now. Always something cool to be had. I just bought this vintage rifle lamp for my collection! After cleaning and rebuilding everything, she is ready for my War Room. The rifle itself is an Italian Brescia Model 1870 Vetterli bolt action. Not a rare gun but sure looks good! Thanks again ladies!!! Adam
Huge Barn Full of Antiques!
It was bustling with activity Sunday. Families shopping together, grandkids asking their grandparents what things are. You really could spend hours just looking at everything, and many do...
It's almost a Museum Americana: Figurines, furniture, memorabilia, clothes, art, toys, any antique you could imagine, is here...
Service is friendly and kind. When I apologized for not buying more, the man at the door said, "But did you have fun?"
Yes yes! Absolutely :)
The ideal thrift & antiques market. Absolutely massive and varied - you’ll find clothes and books and vinyls and furniture. Anything unique you want, you will find here. Make sure to stop by.
Had a blast in this place, but I was also with impeccable company. Lots of fun stuff to look at and purchase at reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and ran with my terrible jokes. I bought a turquoise and silver necklace as well as a lighthouse napkin holder for a friend. I wear the necklace at least 3 times a week, so unique. My friend bought a funky ring and we are now writing a little story about it.
I've never been one for antique shopping, but this place brought back so many memories. I know some antique shops are built for bargaining, but this isn't the place.
This store has some seriously old and hard to find items. Product like that tends to come with a "decent" price, so be aware. It's not a garage sale. I was quite impressed with the selection and wish I had kept a few of my old pieces to sell.
Even if you're not going to shop, consider this a fun trip down memory lane.
I'm still on the hunt for a fireplace screen and they are too! There is a great selection for everyone. I go in for old Christmas decor. Lovely place. Great view of the water, too!
This is junk you can't throw away. Boxes of rubbish marked up to $100+ just a tourist trap. You can find cheap quality antiques in the area, but nothing of quality or value here.
