three areas of operation.
1. Exit 76 and Budgedad offer a significant selection of Antiques & Collectibles for Sale

Many will be unique and hard to find.

on the look out during our travels to auctions & shows making a conscientious
attempt to find that item and acquire it for you.

only when an item is in our possession or through the Exit 76 Antique Mall. That
is the only way we can verify the condition and authenticity.

About Exit 76 Antique Mall & Budgedad Antiques and Collectibles
My name is Paul BUDGE Aronson and for many
years, antiques and collectibles have been a passion for me. About a dozen
years ago I decided to make this a way of life and my livelihood. Romping
through malls and antique stores, attending numerous auctions and estate sales
on a weekly basis, purchasing privately and even garage sales have been my
primary method of acquiring Collectibles and Antiques. The fun of the hunt
has always been the motivation for me and when I found I could distribute
these finds to other people who appreciate them, as much as I, the motivation
for me increased a hundred fold.
How many people are lucky enough to earn
their living in a business that is also their hobby? Not many. I may work
more hours a week than the average person but very few people enjoy what
they do for a living as much as I. It is really not work but fun and a good
portion of my social life as well while shared with family and friends.
Recently Budgedad Antiques & Collectibles became
the agent for Internet Sales for the Exit 76 Antique Mall located just off Interstate
65 in Edinburgh, Indiana. For years we featured our items at the massive location.
The mall offers more than most and features one of the largest display areas with
hundreds of dealers making it one of the largest in Indiana.
I distributed my finds by selling privately;
consigning to auctions & have numerous physical locations in malls or shops.
Then in January, 1998 Ebay was added to my methods of reaching the public.
If I may say, it was achieved with overwhelming success. My seller name of
BUDGE on Ebay is
that of a respected Power Seller with a feedback over
15,000 and almost 20,000 positive comments. The Ebay site now represents
EXIT 76 Dealer listings offering an even greater variety. I estimate that under the name
BUDGE more than 50,000 items have been sold. The amount of customers who
return to BUDGE and Exit 76 on Ebay is high and for a good reasons; honesty, reliability,
service, integrity, fine product and caring about customers & friends.
That's not just a catch phrase, but the way we
do business. It is our way of life. This web site is based on the premise that
we can offer our finds yet another way for friends and clients to make
their purchases with confidence. Our friends and customers will be able to get
what they are looking for and it is done with the knowledge that there is an
unquestionable reliability that assures all those who visit that there are no
tricks here. I recommend that you take the time to check our feedback on Ebay.
Enjoy and make purchases with the knowledge that guarantee our items to be what we say and choose from the abundance of inventory in Antiques, Collectibles as well as other categories; read the articles and share my thoughts, but most of all discover my world of Antiques & Collectibles.
