Barntique Village, Antique Shopping at It's Finest, Located in Moriches, Long Island, NY

I spit at the Hampton's when it comes to antiquing on Long Island. Yeah the Hampton's may be filled with all types of Antique shops, but in reality, these antique shops in the Hampton's are selling their antiques at prices higher than the actual antique is worth. Explain to me how that is fair for the bargain hunter. The thing that makes antiquing so appealing to so many is the thought that maybe one day they will run into an odd item, pay little for it, and later on in life discover its worth thousands.

In the Hampton's, these dealers already know the items worth, and the item gets a price tag to make sure they get paid top dollar, and the customer... well the customer walks away with some antique worth less than what they paid. Fun, fun.

For me there is not a single Antique shop/center in the Hampton's that even comes remotely close to Barntique Village located in Moriches, Long Island, NY.

The Barntique is not given the credit it deserves online, so I am here to spill my guts about everything about the Barntique. Heck, if you google search Barntique Village crap comes up in the search. A small description of nothingness... where the heck are the reviews?! How come so many people are unaware of this Antique like MALL!?

The Barntique Village consists of 18 shops incorporated in an 1800's village, all located near to one another are 18 charming shops. Walking into the Village is seriously like walking into a different time period in history. The shops all have a historical charm to them, and the antiques... my Lord, there are so many that one becomes overwhelmed with joy.

The Barntique is pretty hidden located on Montauk Highway with nothing but a sign stating it's name and number of shops. It's easy to miss if you're not looking. However if you pull into the dirt driveway of this area you will notice just how many treasures await the eye.

At first I was a bit scared, I must admit it. The place seemed vacant, out of place, and out of this time period, and there were no other shoppers in the area.
