Riley’s Bargain Barn

In 1972, my grandparents, Granville and Mary Riley opened Riley’s Bargain Barn in Booneville, Kentucky. It was a general store that sold groceries, gas, clothes, shoes and a variety of other items. A few years after the store opened, my Grandfather cleared out the backroom and started having auctions every Friday night at 7:30 p.m.. After several years of business, my Grandparents decided to close the store and retire. In 2005, Riley’s Bargain Barn reopened its doors online. We will continue with my Grandfather’s passion for auctions and sell all our items through online auction venues such as eBay.

The items we plan to put up for auction will be listed in the following categories: Antiques, Books, Collectibles, Dinnerware, Flatware, Glassware, Household Items, Pottery, Small Appliances and Sporting Goods
