I used to love this store. Things changed about a year ago. They now check ebay prices and try to squeeze every dime out of an item that was given to them for free!! Only a matter of time before people stop going, like me. I guarantee they are selling the "good" stuff online following goodwill greedy model, because I haven't found anything worth buying in many trips besides the stuff they have behind the counter at full retail price. I used to recommend this place often, I can't anymore.

Echoing similar reviews, the prices here are worse than ebay prices on similar items. Recently, I purchased a copy of Halo CE for the original Xbox, it was behind the counter. I asked the clerk if I could look inside before I buy, not only did he refuse to let me check inside, he LIED and said that the game includes the original game manual and the disc has no scratches. He even referenced the "423" code on the red tag, saying that it's a premium find. Much to my surprise, when I got home not only did the disc have scratches (and smudges), but it did not have the manual in it. This game goes for $10 on ebay...listed here for $12.99 RED tag! I can deal with the price gouging, but being blatantly lied to is crossing the line. As a life time thrifter, and fan of community aid, this really hurt. I've also purchased other blurays from here (which were taped shut) out of respect for the store I didn't open them till I got home, and they were missing discs.

Super clean. Organized. The only people who will look at you funny if you’re disabled are the customers. The staff? It’s like I’m normal. Great place to stop and look around, great place to buy things. You NEVER know what you’ll find- there are some COOL things there. Worth. The. Trip.

Used to love this place but suddenly I guess they hired someone new who thinks pricing claw machine plush toys or retail 5 dollar squishmallows that were originally from a drug store for 12-30 Dollars USD. Wild to me that they get these items for FREE and attempt to charge OVER the retail price. Very sad a place that is supposed to be an affordable place for ppl to get things, especially toys for children. Awful hope they fix this

We enjoy this place - there are some good finds for good prices. Especially on Wednesdays, which is half priced days, where everything is half off. My husband goes here fairly often and finds some good items here sometimes. Some days, he might find nothing, and other days he finds a lot. So, it can be hit or miss, but I definitely recommend checking it out because you never know what you may find! But overall, we prefer this place to other thrift stores because it has better prices compared to other thrift stores.

I come here occasionally with a group I am a part of which serves disabled people. Twice now I have had panic attacks at this store due to the staff being FAR too slow. I am on a time limit and they purposely move as slowly as possible when they start to see a line form, having full conversations with everyone. I'm sure some people appreciate that, but I just want to pay for what I picked out and leave. The line was nonexistent. The person in front of me had a full cart, so I switched lines, and the customer who cut ahead of me at the last second had TWO items. I should not have been waiting as long as I did before giving up when there were 3 staff working the front. I had to drop everything because the one cashier who was still working on ringing up those 2 items chose to lose the sale of a full cart of mostly full price clothing items which I needed. Trying to convince me to finish my purchase when I was in the process of leaving and clearly having a panic attack was beyond extremely embarrassing. They didnt need to draw attention to someone having a panic attack, which they caused, and make me feel worse about it for trying to care for myself! I left the store in tears without purchasing anything because the staff made me so uncomfortable when a member of my group told me to hurry up and they were not respectful of my time and disability. Highly unprofessional of them to turn it into a scene and get everyone staring rather than treating me like a person!! AWFUL!!! Absolutely mortifying experience. I don't feel comfortable coming back to this store and will be letting my group know about the incident.
