Buy and Consign

I love this place. Sometimes I go just to have a chat and a nap in the back. Nick showed me «the goods» and I didn’t even break the bank. As far as the 1 star review on this page, that guy is confused and really ought to get checked out by a licensed physician or veterinarian.
This place is the shangri la of Waltham.

I stopped in because I saw a cute chest on their Facebook page I thought would make an excellent coffe table. Never having been in there, I grabbed a buddy and we headed over there.
The place is sort of confusing to find. There’s no sign from the road side. Had to ask the pizza place for directions. Is right around the corner.
Once inside, there’s just an assortment of well maintained things from various decades and centuries. I found the trunk I was looking for but it way too small to use for a coffee table. I did walk away with a table tray and a neat retro necklace under ten dollars. The guy gave me the wrong change and I had to go back. He seemed absentminded but didn’t mind correcting the issue.
I’m be back trying to find that trunk table.

Buy and consign has such strange hours, we were glad to hear they would be open on a Sunday for a sale they were having. So we called to confirm their hours, open until 4pm.
We get there at 3:45 and the guy comes to the locked door and says they closed early because it was slow, even tho we were there. before 4. to spend money. All the lights were on and there were people inside. They said we could come in of we had cash. They had already «closed» the credit machine, and we could look around but couldn’t buy anything. No wonder they were slow, they weren’t letting people buy anything.
We are frequent shoppers of theirs and this treatment will mean us never going back.

First of all. This place IS a gem.
Not only is it a gem, its CHEAP.
From authentically rich accent items to larger, bolder standout pieces this is a great resource for store owners and individual buyers alike. I bought three great storage boxes for jewelry and they were all fantastically lucky finds.
I’ll take a tangent here and tell you about them so you really get a sense of how special this place is: One was a red and gold (actual gold leaf) painted box in the shape of a heart with flowers on it from KASHMIR, the other was a silver coated box depicting what appears to be Buddhist monks, which is a tremendous amount of detail for a silver jewelry box (REAL SILVER) and the third was stainless steel and looks like a lotus flower (I’m actually not certain what this is, I’m just going to use it as a jewelry box).
Or maybe it wasn’t that lucky since this place is great and the selection changes daily so it’s the kind of place you can swing by with frequency and still find new pieces.
Plus, the locations great for transporting large items, they have a large accessible pick up area and a sizable selection of outdoor furniture/​decoration items.
