Pine Grove General Store

These guys know their business. They’ve got plenty for everyone including plus sizes. Their shoes are the best around. Plus you can bring in your clothes (in very good condition) and spend the money you get on new stuff! Just don’t forget your deadlines for pickup and such.

It is hit or miss to find something you really like there… but isn’t the hunt the best part :-) It’s not just clothes either. They have household items, jewelry, and knick knacks.

This place is awesome!!! Really great clothes. I hate shopping for shorts. I’m very picky when it comes to style and fit. But I was shocked to be able to find not just one pair but 5 pairs of shorts in a variety of colors for a smoking deal! I recently bought one pair of shorts for $ 54 at Vacaville Outlets for the same price as buying all these shorts. And one of the shorts I found today was even brand new.
They have a really great selection of shoes. I couldn’t splurge any more for the day, but next time I come that is going to be the goal. Its rare for me to find a store that carries so much good stuff for a very reasonable amount. I highly recommend checking this place out.

I always find something here — great clothes, upscale resale. I enjoy going here every few weeks. Wish it was open on Sundays.
Selling here is frustrating as they don’t say when they’ve sold things and have kept my money since it was a few days past their timeline of 60 days. Felt rude.

This shop is just okay to me considering all the other great consignment shops plus thrift stores nearby.
The style here is a bit older/​hippy which doesn’t fit my personality although it does for most of Sebastopol!
Not saying I haven’t found cute things here, but just not often. Plus the clothes are on the more expensive side. It’s worth stopping by once in awhile to check out.
Here’s where it gets bad, selling here is a nightmare. My mom and I have both had tons of troubles and rude ladies. I would avoid selling here! They don’t tell you when they sell something of yours so you just have to go back and ask which seems a bit weird. Wouldn’t there be a better system?

I kind of can’t believe there are only 5 reviews of this place, because it was AWESOME. They had a great sale rack out front, where I found a button-​down tunic shirt and a silky tank from Nordstrom, for $ 5 each. Inside I found another silky tunic shirt from Forever 21 for $ 13. There were a bunch of sweaters I wanted to try on, but I resisted. They also had a ton of shoes, but not quite what I was looking for. Lots of cute ones though. The staff was really friendly. My aunt, who’s in her sixties (I’m in my twenties) also found a vest, a shirt and a Japanese-​style coat that she thought was super cool. I wish the store was closer to me in Oakland!

some of my extremely nice consignments never made it to the selling floor and were mysteriously purchased at half off. I know, because i kept checking ! After another bad interaction where i had trouble getting the owner to pay me for something she had already sold that was in the window, i stopped doing business with her altogether.

Going to Pine Grove General has become a tradition for me, as I’ve gone there since I was kid and have since introduced it to many friends and acquaintances. It has a large selection of clothing, shoes, and décor, and in terms of a secondhand /​consignment shop they are exactly what I am looking for.
Though the focus is women’s fashion, there is always a smaller but tastefully chosen selection of men’s and children’s clothing, as well. In addition to finding great everyday items, I’ve scored several wonderful vintage pieces at amazing prices. As with any secondhand store, I haven’t always found the thing I was looking for, but it’s always fun to peek in anyhow. I appreciate the staff’s helpfulness as well as their hands-​off approach while I am perusing the inventory.
NOTE: Their consignment set-​up is easy to handle, and they always walk you through their policies. However, I always recommend calling ahead before bringing in lots of items, as the days for taking in consignment have changed in the past.
(Tip: If you are taking in consignment, I recommend grabbing a delicious Sattawa chai at the Sebastopol Cookie Company across the street beforehand, to sip on as you browse while they check out your things. Beware, though: Nothing like sugar and caffeine to make me lose my cash fast in a great store!)

Super cute things here… pretty much over 90% of the visits I’ve made have ended with adorable items coming home with me. I really like their window displays which change frequently to display pops of color and weather-​appropriate new arrivals.
The Pro: best part of this experience is that I’ve never been swarmed by other customers when I’ve been shopping here, and that’s something I really value.
The Con: parking/​navigating the square of death and destruction. I hate ever so much the downtown square that makes up the center of town. All the one way streets and crazy drivers.
Overall, I love the concept of second hand clothes, because, seriously, how many times will you wear the organza, pine green, tea length dress you had to buy for Cousin Emma’s wedding? Sell it, trade it, recycle it, and if you’re in west county, this is the place. Be here!

This is a great consignment shop with a HUGE selection. There is always a lot of inventory marked down, too. I’ve both sold and bought stuff here and there was never an issue with selling stuff, although they tend to wait a while before putting it out on the floor. I’ve scored some great items such as a J. Jill jacket for myself and a Territory Ahead shirt for my husband. And I love the staff — they seem to remember every shopper’s name, which is pretty neat. The prices are definitely not as cheap as some thrift stores, but the options and quality are better.

This was the other consignment shop my friend Dominique introduced me to recently in Sebastopol, and I was immediately smitten. When she had said «consignment store» I pictured the overpriced and somewhat snooty shops in Marin and Pacific Heights, so I wasn’t that excited about going. But we pulled up curbside right in front (no parking meters in sight!) and the $ 3 rack quickly beckoned (a pair of jeans, a plaid snapfront blouse, and fitted retro jacket were my first best finds). Once inside, the clothes, shoes, accessories, household items, and brickabrack were clean, well organized and priced right. I love the mix of retro to current styles, you never know what will pop into view next. My fave find here: a jar of vintage beads, broken jewelry, buttons and findings, perfect for craft projects from Thai Economy for $ 4.50 (there were two of these findings-​filled jars, but I left one for the next treasure hunter, like YOU!). A LITTLE BIRD TIP: Go green and BYO bag.
