Before reading further, I need to say that I did not make a purchase from Hackettstown Trading Post, but I have been there many times in hopes of making a purchase. My husband and I have been to Hackettstown Trading Post numerous times looking for couches and new appliances. First of all, everything is WAY overpriced. When they have sale or clearance items they mark up the original price to outrageous amounts so that the«sale» price ends up being the original price. Example: a couch marked as 70% off showed an original price of $ 5,000 with a «sale» price of $ 1,500. This was for a basic plain love-seat. Now, unless the upholstery is hand stitched by Swedish virgins, there is no way a simple love-seat should start at $ 5,000. It’s a scam. The staff is generally not helpful. While browsing the store, we saw around 10 staff members, only 2 of which acknowledged us, only one offering any assistance. The store currently has large signs in the windows and throughout the store indicating that they are going out of business and everything must go. Signs say that all items are 30% — 70% off, but, as stated previously, that seams to be a ploy to get people to stop in. Unless a 8″ tall plain white lamp is really worth $ 180, then the sale price of $ 60.00 really is a sale. Overall response– Stay away. Save your money for someplace that won’t try to gouge you with fake sales.
