Compton Thrift Store

This place can be a gold mine! You’ll question whether the gold is actually seeking out once you stand outside this place but it’s a gold mine none the less.
— There is no sign of any type outside indicating what type of business it is
— Street parking
— No dressing rooms
— It’s best to pay with cash
— They only sort clothes by type and not by type, color and/​or size like other stores do
— Unlike other stores, they don’t mark up designer brands. I found a diane von furstenberg skirt there for $ 2.
This is the type of thrift store with more vintage inspired, unique and interesting pieces than you’ll find at stores like goodwill. As with all thrift shopping, it’s hit and miss.

As of late I’ve been in a thrift store kind of mood so I’ve been checking out thrift stores in Long Beach and the surrounding cities.
Today I stopped in at the Compton thrift store and as it is a very big store there was no parking and also it’s a bummer when there’s no dressing rooms.
The solution is changing in the aisles which is cool if you’re a guy you can put it on over your shorts but if your girlfriend some reason you can get down to your skivvies and try on everything which is it is what it is thought it was interesting.
I got a few things here nothing fancy prices were decent but if I’m going to a thrift store you can’t try stuff on that I’m heading over to AMVETS for sure

Not the cleanest or the prettiest, But I got a Michael Kors blouse for $ 4!!! They carry lots of nice items and the prices are GRRRRRRRREAAAATTTT! Seek and you shall find!

All I am going to say is that I have made close to a hundred dollars off of this store in the past year. Compton Thrift –to– Ebay — to– $Cha Ching$

We have a route. I can’t indulge you in the actual route because my friend would have my head. He is sure that by telling people our route that all the GOOD stuff will be gone. I don’t know. I can review this fine, fine thriff stoh without divulging the complete route!
I have found a few classic pieces here, I must say! I collect mostly vintage purses and jan brady-​esque polyester dresses. It’s an obsession. I have found a few of both here, but very sporadically, so don’t go racing to your car thinking you’re going to find super vintage goods. It’s a crap shoot easter egg hunt for sure.
Two things frighten me about this place. The front door used to be clear, but now has the appearance of… I don’t know how to describe it, let’s just say shlop/​goop smear. It is so gross that I refuse to open the door myself! I always make my secretive friend open it. ICK. The parking is on the street and in a slightly dangerous area. Well shoot! It’s Compton, straight outta Compton, is a brotha that’ll smother yo’ mother, and make ya sister think I love her! Oh Shoot! I digress!
Anywho, if you feel like takin’ a chance, bring protective hand gear or plan to push the door open with your elbow. Also has a «different» kinda smell in there, as most truly thrifty thrift stores do.
