Something I consider one of my most prized possessions, a certain CD, was bought in this very store a couple of years ago. I came back today to see what they had in store. A wide, messy variety of things, from furniture to toys to physical media and everything in between. A good amount of things were being sold at a bargain, but it seems like they wouldn't go any lower than .95 cents (aka a dollar) for anything, even stuff that was not much better than junk. I get it, they need to make their money somehow, but if they really wanted to get rid of the stuff they had quickly, they should consider lowering the price to what those items are really worth. There were thinks marked at .95 that I definitely would have bought if they were .50 or .25 instead, such as small scuffed toys and stickers. Other than that, I enjoyed browsing through all of their neat collections and the staff were alright. Maybe I'll return to this place someday. Overall, 3/5.
Extremely rude staff. You might or might not find what you want here but the cashier is incredibly rude. Going here can ruin your day. They ask you to finish your drink or leave it outside - which is fine but if you happen to be finishing your drink close to the entrance, they will ask you to leave in the most rude way possible. Edit - it is also equally obvious that no one is going to intentionally stand there and block people from entering a store.
Clean store with a good selection, but prices are often 20–30% higher than online resale sites like Poshmark or eBay. Nice to browse, but not the best value.
This place was right by my hotel, so I walked in randomly off the street. Huge book collection, decent sized record collection, I wish I had more time to see everything. I ended up getting a pretty fashionable necklace for only $12. It was nice to see some Halloween stuff out at this time of year too. Definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area!
I recently visited the Community Thrift Store in San Francisco’s Mission Area and was thoroughly impressed. This nonprofit second-hand store offers a wide variety of products, from clothing and books to home goods and unique treasures. The best part? Proceeds support numerous nonprofit organizations in the Bay Area. It’s a wonderful place to shop sustainably while giving back to the community. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend checking it out!
