Hi there
Loved the place! They had exactly what I was looking for and then some. They have it set up well, too. Tons of stuff.
Very good deals
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I was driving through town and randomly stumbled across Butler’s Auction today. It’s a little tucked back and the signage isn’t the easiest to spot at first, but if you’re looking for it, it’s the big warehouse-style building just to the right of the firehouse. Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. It’s basically a treasure hunt once you walk in. There’s a huge mix of stuff, from older vintage pieces to newer pallet-type inventory, glassware, books, collectibles, and random items you didn’t even know you wanted. I even came across a few things that looked like they dated back to the 1950s. For the amount of inventory they have, I thought it was organized surprisingly well. It’s obviously a lot to manage, but the layout makes it easy enough to walk through and browse without feeling overwhelmed. Ended up finding a few really solid pickups. Definitely worth stopping in if you enjoy thrifting, auctions, estate-sale type finds, or just hunting for deals. Only heads-up: bring cash if you can. They charge a 4% fee for card payments.
Thank you for stopping by and seeing us! We look forward to your next visit! We are open Tuesday -Saturday 10-5
We visited Butler's Auction in Smith county today. If you blink, you could miss it (like we did) and drive past it (like we did), but turn around and go back (like we did) and you're in for a shopping experience!!!! This place has got so much goodies to purchase. We spent 2 hours shopping and found great treasures. The two Ladies were very helpful and very friendly. If you love thrifting, you have to stop at Butler's Auction. This was our first visit here, but it will not be our last!! BTW...the tea set stayed with my Mom. :) THANK YOU!!
We are glad you enjoyed our store. We hope she enjoys her tea set it will look grrat setting on her shelf. Come back any time Tuesday-Saturday 10am -5 pm
