Hudson River Trading Company

We almost can not navigate the cramped aisles on our basement floor because of the accumulation of merchandise and just plain STUFF. We have to clear this out so we can unpack the other two floors we use as warehouse space. Please come and help us move some MERCH!!

In 2004 we were honored by the NYS Lt. Governors' visit and by sheer luck were able to stand for a photo with her.

I asked her to convey our regards to New York Governor George Pataki. See story on Lt. Governor's visit.

We are standing in front of our Hudson River Trading Company store at 38 North Main Street, Mechanicville, NY ~ Next to City Hall. This was supposed to be Spring but the weather during our last sale made us put our box lots in the basement. Wherever we have them the next time they are priced to move out from $1.00 a box on up. Maybe on the sidewalk....

Look at what we had on the front sidewalk last time! Anyway, when you are going north on Main Street this is where we are on the right.

Bringing in the Gaming Machines ..... Got to Pay the New Sewer Tax Somehow!

I'd like to set these up like in the old days and really make some money but we are only bringing them in to put them in our Special Sale this weekend. New shipment arrived Monday and we are pricing these reconditioned Pachislo Games of Skill at only $298.00. I only have five left to sell. Get here at 11:00AM in the morning for your best choice.

Stop in and take a look at our shop and take home some bargains before we go out of business? If you READ our sign it says "OUT FOR BUSINESS." Stop in and see what you've been missing.

We also have a pretty interesting antique area of vintage furniture, glassware, dolls, Adirondack items and old toys and trains. In the photos you can see some of the modern wall hangings, pillows and throws we have that are made in North Carolina. We also have a line of limited production Victorian Dolls that simply are

gorgeous, if I don't say so myself, even being an old gun dealer and male chauvinist pig. Time to move them out though and get new stock. Need a sword or bayonet? Got them too.

Or take home one of our wonderful Victorian Limited Edition dolls.

We also have our trusty Ford 600 16' Box Truck that I really don't need any more. It has served us well and still has low mileage seeing we use it sparingly to deliver tables to our local shows. The rear lift does need a little TLC hydraulic tune-up. Tires are fine and it is an automatic transmission and gas engine. Still a lot of use left in this workhorse. Insurance cost us about $360. a year, add registration, yearly lube and inspection and the total cost to just leave it sit in your driveway for a storage facility is less than $50.00 a month ... that's why I haven't worried about selling it, I have my 100 gun show tables stored in it. But we just have too many things laying around we don't use that much. We would like to get about $3500.00 for 'ol Bess.

I wish our 1992 Chevy Conversion Van still looked this good when I bought it new. The engine is fine and was well cared for but the northeast winters took their toll on the body parts. We have replaced Cathy's Blazer with a new Chrysler Touring Van with all the bells and whistles and this summer I'll be looking for something new for myself. For any enterprising body mechanic out there or someone who just wants to use this for a covered transport truck and cheap transportation my Van is available for $1000.00 as is where is before I give it in as a trade-in. Just another thing we don't use anymore.

Auctioneers, call me and bring your trucks 'cause I will be ready to move out a lot of the remainder ... I need room to begin emptying our two top floors for the next round of business. 518-664-9743

Need a four story brick building? We sit right on the Champlain Canal System where boaters can dock for free. The next big tourist attraction that the State of New York will be investing Millions of Dollars in. Each floor has 3000 square feet of open space plus a few smaller floor areas. Rear loading dock and Otis passenger elevator make complete use of the floors. This is truly a wise investment for now and the near future. I just wish I were ten years younger and still had my energy! Retirement age is coming soon and an opportunity is opening for someone. Do you hear the knocking? We plan on selling this fine old Main Street location and you could be the owner. I've been told I should get around $600,000. but we can talk. And yes, we can work out terms if you can lay in some cash or mortgage. Stop by for a look. We can even sell you a gun shop or a going antique business.
