Disclaimer: This is a new barn for me.  I have never been.  (But it sure looks like fun!)

So into my e-mail yesterday popped news of a Black Friday Barn Sale.  To me that sounds much more fun than the mall.  I don’t do malls well and truthfully rarely go.  I also don’t do doorbuster stand in line Black Friday store sales.  To me, standing in line for hours to go into a chain store is just not fun.

But a Black Friday BARN SALE?  That could have promise!  That I would do! It is in Pottstown and here is the e-mail I received from the owners (whom I do not know and to the best of my knowledge have never met, so it is a mystery as to who added me to the list but thank you!):

Here is a write up of her husband Jack Zubrzycki and their picking business from this past summer’s Daily Local:

East Coventry man turns love of the hunt into business venture

I will remind people that the thing about these barn sales is sometimes you find treasures, and sometimes you don’t. But the experience is a whole lot of fun, and you learn something every time.

This barn may be set up differently from the picking barns I normally visit (I don’t know because I haven’t walked it yet myself) , they deal with a lot of dealers, and I do not know their pricing. But if you see something you like and the name of the game is move the contents out for sale, make an offer. You never know where the best price will land on an item!

Many thanks to the owners of the barn and this business for the use of their photos for this post!
