Value Village

I have some of my kids clothes that I wanted to donate. I was across the street at Chase and decided to stop over here to make the donation. The sign clearly says to stay in the car with my hazard lights on and an associate will be RIGHT out to assist. Well, it’s been about thirty minutes since I’ve pulled up to this place, an associate came to the door maybe 15 minutes ago, looked, said nothing and went back inside. At that point I was irritated, but the cause is bigger than me so I stayed, but at this point I’m over them! I guess I’ll drive down to the other thrift store and donate there!

They are quite mediocre in their selection of clothes/​fabrics and to be honest a bit pricey as far as thrift stores go. Found a few goodies in their miscellaneous section though. They are super organized nonetheless and great customer service.

I would actually consider this a pretty good Value Village, as far as they are concerned. I frequent this place from time to time because I have friends that live in the area, and so we enjoy being cheapskates together on occasion.
I’ve found some really great books here, so their book collection is pretty extensive. Thank you, people who don’t read! A few notable purchases: once, me and my friend went here and found a really decent record player. A three-​piece machine of beauty, with speakers, case case, and even one of those little volume boards to adjust bass, treble, etc. Though the player ended up having a busted speaker, it was still a really nice purchase. I’ve also found some really good costume pieces here before, as well. Things for when I went to Dragon Con, and other random themed parties.
There are a lot of creeps, here, though. People who will hit on you, and sort of… Follow you in the store, to hit you up for your number, or because you «look so familiar». So there’s that to put a damper on thrifting in this area.

The owner has started pricing things in the store like an antique store without knowing what the heck that are doing.
45s are now $ 3.99 because «she saw one sell on Ebay for $ 12» I was told by a store employee. Meanwhile they are dirty, scratched and have no jackets. These go for $ 0.50 at every other thrift store AND at a record store (after being professionally cleaned).
I’m not sure what they are thinking, but I will stop going the Value Vs.
