The guy at the counter the last two weekends was so hostile, and the quality of the clothing has really gone down. Go to Thrifty Shopper or Gemm Shop in Trumansburg. Thrifting should be fun and everyone should feel welcome!

I like the store, but some of the things, well a lot of the things.Actually are kind of expensive! Crazy seeing how they're things are all donated.It should not be so much i feel. It supposed to be for people who are in need with not alot of money. Some of there things you can buy new in the store for cheaper then you can buy them there for.

Great store. Been going for many years. However - during our visit yesterday we gathered about 40 matching saucers from multiple aisles to make a set for my daughter. At the register, I asked if we could receive a discount for so many pieces that we pulled together. The associate said yes, counted them up, then DOUBLED the posted price, saying “I think these are worth a dollar apiece.” They were posted at 50 cents a piece. I was shocked and said - “you can’t DOUBLE the price!” And his response was “Actually, i’m the store manager and can do whatever I want.” I was floored and had to walk away. My daughter managed to assert the original price and left with the dishes. But this was an ugly experience and most definitely there’s a ‘management’ problem.

Overall, it’s a great place, and I’ll be returning soon. I purchased a mid-2010 iMac, which works well. However, I noticed a discrepancy between the specs listed on the paper and the actual iMac. While most details are accurate, the CPU listed as an i5 is actually an i3. I suspect this was a typo. This mismatch is the reason I’m giving a 4-star rating instead of 5, as I bought the iMac under the assumption it had an i5 processor.

Wide ranging selection of home goods and was beyond happy to see they carry tube TVs and VHS tapes. Daily (or maybe it’s weekly?) discounts are also wonderful! Love to see it!
However despite having an entire separate mini store for clothing, they didnt have very much. Also the atmosphere is a bit off, just kind of a musky warehouse vibe.
I’d recommend coming here for furniture and home goods, but go to Thrifty Shopper if you’re looking for clothes. Also Thrifty Shoppers DVDs are a lil cheaper 🤫

The man working at the cashier was unfriendly. He ignored me multiple times for telling him that we are members before he made us to pay without the member discount. I said it’s okay to not have the discount but he couldn’t help but blaming me, an asian woman, for not telling him earlier instead of my white partner.
He ignored me three times and I lost my discount. I was ready to let it go but he kept going and blamed me for not telling him beforehand when we already said it was okay. We tried to not make him feel bad because he forgot to ask us before scanning and ignored me multiple times. For the record, he was really friendly to the white people before us and I was pleasant to him throughout.
This wasn’t the first unpleasant encounter with him but it was the first time that I felt singled out because of my skin color and gender.
If you are an Asian woman, avoid this store and go to their alternative location at elmira street instead. They would ask if you are a member for the discount and to sign up if not before scanning anything.

Prices are kind of high for old, dirty fans and other electronic items. Computers are over priced. Can get them on eBay better specs for half the price. Selling old beat up Teflon pans where the non stick is flaking. Non stick coating is toxic when ingested and selling these pans is bad because if someone doesn't understand this. Prices high on furniture that belongs in a dump. Only reason I go in is for cheap movies on vhs and DVDs.

They are going downhill unfortunately, used to be my favorite place to go thrifting...not really anymore. My most recent visit I asked the cashier to pop a couple of the movies open (they are taped closed) just because I have bought so many scratched ones and was hoping to just make sure they werent scratched. The cashier assured me I was wrong...saying the tape symbolizes they have been checked. Offering to open one to prove me wrong. Which rubbed me the wrong way so I decided to offer to put them back. On top of the most recent interaction I have noticed their prices skyrocketing. With thrifty shopper and the other reuse center down town, I'd say pass on this store and go to the others. Really disappointing, I used to recommend this one to everyone I knew. If you don't mind a drive, I've had the best luck at the thrifty shopper in cortland!

Had a recent problem there that needed Manager attention. Tried to call her 2 times having to leave a message. She never got back to me. I consider this terrible customer service and no person should have her position if they can't make a simple return call. It's not doing part of their job. And if you won't do part of your job you should be fired

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.
