Used, Vintage & Consignment in Merrillville, IN

“Went there to sell a few things that I was having a hard time selling online. They priced them pretty fairly and I got more back then I would have from selling them online.”

“Some Goodwill’s you can walk into and find good stuff for a reasonable price and other ones you go in are horrific and you come out feeling like you need a shower. But my son is very much into shopping resale - it’s just something about their generation, they like to buy clothes from previous generations.
I find it a little humorous that if there’s a tag attached to anything that gets donated, they market at $8.99 even if the item itself wasn’t worth $8.99 to begin with. But during one of our looks at a Goodwill, I found a beautiful Coach purse for five dollars and it was actually a purse from the 80s. I did a little research on it so I was surprised to find out that it was pure leather, and the lining was in perfect condition. I like that because it’s a quality purse without having some designers name all over it. I really do not like being a billboard for companies that I’ve already bought something from them. It’s like being double taxed - I bought your shirt. Your shirt has your company’s name on the front of it. You’re getting free advertising from a person who just bought something from your store. You don’t need to advertise to people who are already buying your merchandise - so there’s another punch to the gut. It’s not like they’re advertising to me, but by me wearing it I get to become an ambassador to that product. That’s not always a great way to run your business.”

“This place is the best! I'm literally leaving a review because I saw 3 one star reviews and I was astonished by them. This store not only actually helps people in need unlike goodwill where they don't pay their employees a decent wage and they keep most of their profits vs donating them to help others. Also this store does a great job of organizing their inventory they even have plain shirt color coordinated at the front it's awesome and easy to find whatever you want. I've never had any issue with their employees. They have always been nice and helpful when I needed their help. To sum it up this is probably my favorite thrift store in the area if not my favorite the only place that comes close is in Hammond which isn't exactly in the area but still the same county.”
