    I had once rated this place 4 stars. However, offlate I find the store to be increasingly void of inventory. It's been over a year since I ever found something useful here. There used to be a very good selection of lamps shades, spike busters, electronics, office supplies etc. For whatever reason, they seemed to have run out of good inventory.

    Great thrift store. You should find clothing, fabric, craft supplies, books, house repair stuff, jewelry, ect. All at amazing prices. They have sales sometimes too! You always find more than you think you will. Absolutely great store. The people working there are very friendly.

    Lots of stuff between the 2 stores, with inventory always changing. Some of the furniture and other items are way overpriced for being used goods. Kinda cluttered

    Awesome thrift shop to skim through. We try to go once a month or so to see what's new. Like any thrift store, the selection is hit or miss but, I can't believe people would really complain about that. They can only sell what they are provided. We've found a lot of cool gems here over the years and I like that they support the community in various ways. Happy to shop and donate here.

    I have to agree with the last review (by Sync Positive). This place used to be much better, but over the last six months or so it has really fallen. I visit regularly and it used to be rare that I left without buying multiple items. Now it's rare to find anything at all worth buying at the price they're asking and I usually leave empty-handed. There is now very little turnover of the stuff on the shelves. I imagine slow donations are part of it (and can't really blame them for that), but the quality control and pricing is getting a bit ridiculous. It used to be that things were priced reasonably for used items and would often go at the full asking price, while most of the rest would sell once discounted by 25%, then 50%, and finally 75%. Now there are so many items that are priced so high for what they are worth that they still are overpriced by the time they are 75% off. On a lot of items, they seem to be checking eBay and pricing items based on the higher end of what sellers there are asking rather than looking at the average price they actually *sell* for on eBay. (Like the sad group of Beanie Babies that have been there for weeks at a starting price of $50 even though you can buy the same new set on eBay for under $10). Then there is the quality control. There are so many items that seem to be priced reasonably (still not cheap, but reasonable) until you realize that they are damaged. Bowls with chips, figures missing hands, games missing integral pieces. I don't know if they don't realize they are damaged or if they don't know how much the damage lowers the value of the items, but either way, something is off with the pricing. I don't get why things seem to be so much different at the downtown location - there, pricing can be a little inconsistent, but you can usually still find a lot of good deals. Hopefully, they turn things around again, because their goals are admirable and they had things working better in the past.

    Lol this used to be a good spot for finding reasonable prices on used stuff. Something changed and now prices are way jacked up. Like it’s actually cheaper to buy new. Shame.

    Over priced for donated goods, many items are cheaper brand new or cheaper elsewhere. Reuse is a scam like all thrift stores, they are selling you donated used items for profit. It's worth $1 and they sell it for $4, The items aren't tested or sanitized. They aren't helping anyone but themselves. Don't get me started on Thrifty shopper or the Salvation Army.

    The book section was amazing! Can't say much about the rest of the store because it was rather dirty and there really wasn't much other stuff there, other than junk. As for the books though... there was 3-5 aisles of books all carefully labeled and organized. Wonderful shopping experience there.

    Found several things my wife could use for crafting and found a couple items myself.

    This place is okay, as far as thrift stores go. The prices aren't bad and they carry a large variety of stuff. They seem to rotate through items pretty often, so there's always different stuff to look at. I mainly go there for the clothing. I have a more retro style and can often find stuff that fits my aesthetic. If you're into more modern stuff, you won't find much as most of their items are at least 20 years old. I occasionally browse the home items and décor but its very hit or miss. You have to search through aisle of junk to find the rare gem. Their furniture is very outdated and worn down- not really worth your time in my opinion. The staff all seem to hate their jobs and aren't very pleasant. They seem to be majorly inconvenienced by having to ring out your purchases and just glare at you silently the entire time. I get that most people don't enjoy doing customer service though, so I can't blame them. My main issues with this place is how dirty it is. I'm not sure if they wash the clothes before they put them out, but I have found pieces that have crusted food on them, stains, or the occasional dirty shoe print. They also often smell funny, but that could just be because they're older clothes. The other items definitely don't get cleaned. I always leave with my hands feeling grimy. Overall, this place is far from my favorite thrift store, but it's not the worst I've been to. Something about it keeps me coming in, despite its issues.
