Thrift Center

I went in here hoping to sell a handful of costumes that I’ve been holding on to. They do have buying hours posted 10−2pm and I was stuck in South 1^st traffic but lady was nice enough to still take a look at my stuff 10 minutes after 2pm. I walked around while I waited. They definitely utilize the space — it is a tight squeeze through the isles. Lots of clothes shoes and costumes. Everything seemed organized but overwhelming. I did not peruse the «home» area so no opinion there. For 4 costumes/​2 dresses, 2 wigs, boots (all worn once) and misc items = $ 10. I declined. There was an almost identical flapper dress on the wall for sale for $ 20 & an entire rack of skimpy dresses… I get they have to mark up but geez!

This morning we were hoping to do some thrift shopping but unfortunately they aren’t opened yet.
A gentleman came and asked if we were waiting as well, waited about 10 minutes & then left.
Definitely not good for business.
Having said that, th et have cute items for everyone at a fair price.

Do not buy your tablet cases brand new I, I went in and bought one for 1.99 and it was perfect with school starting soon I wanted one for my middle school kid too look like it was not new but still in great condition. great store great prices and they will only buy name brand clothes in great quality some still have price tags!

This place is a little over the top.
I’ve had Thrift Center on my bookmark list for a while now thinking it was some kind of undiscovered treasure trove. Really, this is an atypical thrift store because so much of what you see is very obviously edited for a certain aesthetic. That’s a polite way to put it.
From what I could tell, this store is mixed with new and used clothing. I saw a lot of duplicates of the same horrible pieces, which may mean they were donated by a local Macy’s or JCPenny. If I found something by Ann Taylor or Calvin Klein, it was by far the ugliest garment made by the brand. Everything else screams 2003! polyester! ill-​fitting! This is stuff a La Quinta motel housekeeper wears on her hot date to the county fair. You know, the type of woman who wear high heels to Six Flags.
Thrift Center, this place is bad and you should feel bad.

I’m a bargain hunter and this place is one of my little honey holes. Lots of scratched, dented and used items as well as new stuff too. When is the best time to purchase seasonal items? The OPPOSITE time of the year. So get over there and find your little treasure. I never walk away empty handed when I shop at Thrift Center because I always find something I didn’t know I needed until I saw it there!

I know all the best value thrift shops around town. This is definitely on the short list. Good values and above all fantastic customer service! Dalia was nice enough to hold items for me and reopened when I returned past closing time. She even text me to let me know they were closing. Now that is five star service! Great job.

As a male thrift store shopper I’m usually drawn to used appliances and old things I can fix up or make art out of. The clothing selection for guys might not be a hipsters paradise, but it has plenty of old coats, suits, jeans, hats, and bags. Anyone interested in fitness will find plenty of used free weights.
I dont know much about women’s fashion, but I saw plenty of nice looking dresses and «blusas». which is spanish for blouses… you know what I mean.
Selling there is probably the easiest and most hassle free experience that I’ve ever had. If you’ve gone to buffalo, or plato’s closet and you had tons of things rejected, there is a VERY good chance Thrift Center will take your goods. (They don’t take everything, but it seems like they know their market).
I also have to mention how pleased I was with the service — friendly and honest. I purchased a hand mixer for 6 bucks and I got it home and it didn’t work. The receipt says all sales are final on appliances, but I went back anyway to see if I could exchange it for another and they were totally cool about it; adjusted the price and everything.
Helpful tip: they have a cord at the counter so you can hook up the appliance before you buy it (did not know that).
This is not a high end thrift store, but it’s really neat and tucked out of the way so please try to keep it under your hat and tell all your most trusted friends about it.

Decent prices great selection of shoes. Not really a place I would visit often. If you are looking for appliances this is a good place to look other than that not really the «gem» that some made it out to be.

Looks junky from the outside, but great inside! Huge women’s clothing selection. Great prices. I got 2 like-​new pair of jeans for $ 6 each. Most dresses and clothing items are around that price. Might take a little searching to find your gem.

Great place to buy housewares! Amazing prices. Fun hunting! woot!

I got two used front-​load washers here at a great price ($ 280 for a Kenmore HE3T, and an LG for $ 399), along with delivery for only $ 25 for both, and a 90-​day warranty. You can’t do that well on Craigslist!
The pump in the Kenmore broke a few weeks after I bought it, but I called and they came out THE SAME DAY to put in a new pump (under warranty, at no cost to me).
There were a couple of minor hiccups — the first time they accidentally delivered a washer and dryer, instead of the two washers I bought. And they either did or didn’t have an LG in stock depending on who I talked with. And their math was a little off when we took one washer off the order and replaced it with a different one. (They quickly corrected it when I pointed out the problem.)
But those were just minor issues. The washers were cheap, delivery was just $ 25 together, and they honored the warranty the same day that I called. Can’t do better than that.

i bought a washer for $ 250 and it worked great… at first… the spin wash stopped working so i called them and they apologized like anyone would… they sent a mechanic out because it was within there «60 day warranty»…he came out and swapped the timer and awesome it worked again… for 2 weeks. i called Paul Gonzalez and he told me that they could not help me because the warranty was up… long story short they sold a busted washer and kept me happy for 60 days then told me they cant help me because the warranty was up. do not buy any appliances from them because they are broken and rigged to work for their warranty then they cut you out and tell you «sorry we cant help».

I seriously needed a new oven, given that I’d decided to host a family reunion for Thanksgiving this year, but our current oven was old and decrepit and didn’t even have a way to gauge the temperature. So, after a lot of surfing through Craigslist and a lot of driving all over the place trying to find something we could afford, I finally saw an ad on Craigslist for a gas range here at Thrift Center.
I drove down to take a look at it, and was pleasantly surprised to find the price had gone down since the listing. Not only that, but they could deliver it and install it for a reasonable fee. Sold! I paid for the range, and sure enough, a couple of guys showed up the following Monday to install it. It only took about 20 minutes or so, and they hauled the old one away and saved me the trouble of figuring out what the hell to do with it.
Now we have a nice new (ish) oven, a digital temperature gauge, and a way to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. Thank you, Thrift Center!

I find this to be a great place to check out if you are looking for wall décor, outdoor décor, lighting or dressers. If you’re in the neighborhood looking for those items, Thrift Center is certainly worth a look.
Stuff here is cheap in the above mentioned categories. You’ll find cool outdoor wrought iron pieces for $ 50 or less. A total steal. You’ll also find large post for plants that you might pay $ 80 or $ 100 at Garden Ridge for $ 40. They have chandeliers that you’d pay $ 200 at Home Depot for about half that. They don’t have all that much selection, but if you have a specific thing in mind and they happen to have it, you could save yourself a good deal of cash.

It’s just what it is — a thrift center. It’s a thrift shop in the most ordinary sense. The front room has a clothing, books, and toy section. Then there is a room off to the side with haphazardly piled appliances, wrought iron yard decorations, furniture, and even sometimes a 70s style organ. We were so tempted to buy the organ, but the volume didn’t work too well — we checked in the following week, and it was gone!
What’s nice is that if you’re in a snooping around mood, it’s easy to do so here because it’s not that large. (The prices are average as far as a thrift shop goes.) You can easily browse the entire shop in less than an hour.
