I love every Beacons but this one is my absolute fav. You can find insane designer here for amazing prices (like every other BC!) and they have great vintage selection. I sell here often and everyone is very kind. Whatever they dont take can be donated as well. Everyone who works here is so sweet too. Love this spot!
Read many of the bad reviews but can’t really say anything negative about this place. Brought them one bag of men’s clothes and half an hour later, they offered me around $20 for a few pieces and gave me back the things they didn’t want to buy (which was the majority, admittedly). Friendly staff and everything pretty professional.
Staff is nice but the clothing selection is picked over and almost no mens clothing
Loved the store, however one of the stuff members was rude.When trying on the glasses friend of mine took of photo without a mask, its hard to understand how glasses look like on the face with mask on, to which one of stuff members notified us politely not to do so anymore, which was understandable.However another stuff member, added - yes, one more time and you are out. I think its was rude, because we didnt argue about previous statement.And then she went ahead and added - dont make us yell at you next time, when we were leaving the store.I hope management will read that and stuff will be nicer with customers.
This location doesnt have a very large mens section at all but I have gotten some really good shoes here for a great price a couple of times.This is a curated 2nd hand store so dont expect salvation army prices however for the quality and selection the prices are great I think. Ive sold a lot of jewelry here but now Beacons doesnt buy or sell gold or silver jewelry. Aaaaand, thats it I guess....Cool story bro
Good for buying, terrible for selling. Staff acts like they’re doing you a favor for selling. Very unpleasant experience as a seller. Decent variety for buying, but would not sell here. Had better luck selling at other similar thrift stores.
I had the worst experience today in their store. I have never been so disrespected in my life. Due to COVID-19 we are required to wear a mask as we did when we walked into the store as well as the whole time after. Then my friend was holding lots of clothing and the hanger tugged her mask slightly under her nose. The women ran to us yelling and screaming that we had to leave. I have never been so startled. She even called the guy at the front to let us outside the store. They did not even let us purchase the clothing and even told me to leave who had my mask the whole time. The fact that they did not give us a warning and mistreated us was just very shocking!! It seemed like she just did not like us and wanted us out for no reason, I’m pretty sure that’s called discrimination. I don’t see why anyone should ever shop in a store that mistreats other and does not understand that things happen it just disgusting.
Best if you wear a small or medium. The choices were ok.
Personally I liked it here. the store is small but they have nice items there. Staff was nice. Prices are okay maybe a little bit pricey but like I said the items were nice. Overall it was okay for my first time coming here.
Agree with previous reviewers, i cant understand what logic they follow when picking the cloths. I brought a bog bag of all nice,some unworn designers and handmade stuff, they took just one piece. They were much better before. And the selection at the store really sucks right now,was much better few years ago
Past reviews have said this place was full of rude people. I didnt believe it until I went to this location myself. Its like as soon as you walk in, you feel a negative atmosphere. I dont know if its the stigma of buying used clothing, but everyone here seems like they hate each others existence.Note to the store manager: Your customers make me want to frantically count how many lives I have left after leaving your store.
Everything is overpriced and the staff is very unfriendly for the most part! Prepare for side eyes and overpriced clothes. If you happen to be selling your clothes to them, they will be completely undervalued all while dealing with a staff member on a power trip that will be completely condescending. Oh yeah, if youre not dressed stylish or rich, they will automatically assume you are there to steal something and follow you around. Ive only been a few times, but Ive never had a completely pleasant experience. I tried emailing the owner about this and got no response...so clearly they dont care.
My favorite thrift store with the best staff! Always polite and kind. Prices are pretty reasonable
Small store, but definitely a well-curated thrift experience. Know what your coming for. You wont find deals as cheap as thrift stores like Goodwill, but its a more fashionable selection of clothes so youll say time digging!
We brought 4 (four) huge bags of nice designer clothes and shoes. Most of ‘em was brand new with store tags. But we were surprised because manager said she can give us nothing! Means $0!!!Good job! Go ahead! Perfect store policy (sarcasm)My peace of advice: do not bring your clothes to this place. Let’s close them down.
Best thrift store with new and gently used - designer items, both new and vintage. Considering the quality of some collectible/statement pieces, the prices are really affordable and many items really cheap!Hands down best store ever.
Don’t bring your clothes here. It’s a fraud. I took an on trend in perfect condition Alexander McQueen coat, a Kate Spade dress among other nice things and they day after when I went back to pick up my voucher they said they only kept a pair of trousers and a couple of shirts from my husband. Total fraud. I’m sure they either sent it to another store or they are keeping things for themselves.
They have a trendy collection but when you bring your clothes the staff is so rude. They had me wait 30 minutes while three ladies were giggling over something on their phones. I can understand that they see items from all over but the ladies screening are super snobby. I wanted to sell a $450 real leather jacket and they offered $22!!! I wanted to show the website where I had bought it and the lady answered I dont care, this is what it is worth. Seriously snobby and disrespectful people.
Today was my FIRST & LAST TIME going to this location. The workers were acting very snobbish and watching me like I was going to steal or something. I gave them good quality items and only got a little amount back. The items were name brand. The workers didn’t greet me when I walked in even though the store wasn’t crowded at all. It just wasn’t worth the trip. All female workers aren’t good for a store. They act too funny and stare too much. I will be making a blog about this store. I wouldn’t recommend bringing in NOTHING to this location. Any other location is worth it. I’m so disappointed in the experience.
Felt very disrespected. I was wearing a mask the whole time, my hanger pulled my mask slightly down and an employee started yelling at me angrily. I am always someone to follow Covid 19 rules so this was very shocking to me that she treated me like this when it by accident slipped down. She told me to leave so I calmly left the store and put my clothes down I just felt very disrespected.
This is my neighborhood thrift store. Always feels like time well spent to dig through for an hour. Doesnt deliver on the goods for me every single time, but always has a big and somewhat varied inventory. Ive also had good luck selling. Im a big fan of the online site too. They post pretty dope new items for sale every day--game changer!
Rude dismissive customer service!!!! Unwilling to help me with my questions about items I was interested in. A holier than thou attitude by a specific employee who only talked about herself to the point where the whole store had to hear about it. Refused to properly help me, rolled her eyes at me and rather talk to other co workers than do her job. So so so done with this place.
Leas favorite thrift store. I never have luck here. The staff are cute and nice to each other but I’m sorry, I don’t want to hear you showing each other tik toks while I’m shopping. I always find cute things but try them on and end up not liking it. Disappointing.
Lots of vintage clothing for reasonable prices.
One of my favourite of the buy-sell-trade stores. Super homey and the staff were unpretentious (a rarity!) and helpful. I found some awesome pieces here and it was a huge saviour for when I’d had a collision with a few coffees in my nearby restaurant job!!
Average clothing selection.Very rude staff to help you buy and sell. I suggest not wasting your time there.
Good selection. Can get very crowded and feel tense at peak times. Selling clothes is hit or miss depending on taste of person sorting that day and they can be pretty strict about what seasons theyre buying for but you can leave everything they dont take to be donated.
The quality and selection has declined as theyve expanded. The original store in Williamsburg (going back 15 years at least) had quirky, interesting stuff at a reasonable cost. Now, there are some great pieces, but a lot of very basic, uninteresting fast fashion at inflated prices. Theyre very picky about what second-hand stuff they buy, so one would hope that the selection would reflect that; it doesnt anymore. However, if you dig deep and long, you can find a fantastic deal (especially on mens clothing).
Great walk in store. I also shop on their website. This particular location is great because its smaller than the others but is not as packed as the main one. Ive gotten so many treasures here. My favorite was a new with tag Moschino band jacket with the $800 tag still attached. To me, beacons has the best selection when it comes to lightly worn designer goods in NYC. The customer service is always excellent.
If you’re BLACK don’t even waste your time.. they don’t want anything you have to offer. First time going there they treated me like I was nothing took a BUNCH of good conditioned clothes then gave me like $10 for it. Then today I went in one of the ladies were nice, but the rest gave me dirty looks & throughout 2 big a$$ bags of clean clothes & barely worn shoes they said to me we can’t take it but you can donate it if you want lol... mind you the store stinks like feet & sells a bunch of old clothes but I guess mines weren’t good enough.. the vibe just sucks I felt uncomfortable here & beneath them.. they need a WHOLE NEW STAFF because the ladies who work here are judgmental and rude as heck.. & I know its true because many other reviews said the same
I used to love shopping here. Recently went in to see what I could sell and waited 2 hours for the staff to look at my 3 small bags of clothes. They accepted nothing—not even the brand name, never worn clothes and shoes with tags on them. Don’t waste your time!
The store was nice and crowded (its Black Friday) and I brung a bag of clothes to sell. All my items were name brand (Commes de Garcons, fashion nova, & many more I paid allot for) and got nothing back for it! The females there all stand around and talk amongst themselves making you feel uncomfortable, but I felt its because I was black. They told me they couldnt take my clothes because they werent in season or the condition, but the racks were full of mini skirts and a bunch of shoes they were selling looked horrible. What I can say is that two of the ladies were very nice to me, the others seemed judgemental and I feel they didnt take my things on purpose. Wasnt a great experience for me.
I go here a lot and have gotten some great deals. Most of the employees are also super sweet (some of these locations get a bad rep for snootiness).This time I also picked up a nasty cold from one of two employees that were extremely sick and still handling clothing. One of them was actively coughing without cover their mouth and pausing in between runs to put things on the racks to TRY ON clothing. Gross, dude. I understand sometimes you cannot afford to take time off but have some boundaries. I’ll have some Nyquil.Also, please, to the people with young children and giant strollers: this is not a good place for them, and fellow customers are not babysitters.
Love the online store! I check their selection just about once a week. The price is always right. When Im ready to pull the trigger, shipping is always super quick! Legit two day shipping!! Ordered this latest time on Friday morning. Package was shipped out that afternoon and reached my zipcode down in New Orleans by Sunday morning. Too bad the post office was closed and had to await a Monday delivery! Would have arrived with a single business day of transit had I ordered on Thursday Im sure!
Not a bad store because you can often find really nice items here but it’s not always a great deal. Prices fluctuate and you have to really dig around to find good stuff. Staff is okay, never had anyone be rude but never had anyone be very nice either
Pretentious.Dont waste an hour of your time bringing clothes to this store. They are looking for a specific style. It doesnt matter how nice or expensive your clothes are, they wont take them if it doesnt meet their standards.The selection of clothes in the store is underwhelming.I wont be coming back here.
Its the best Thrift Store in the World, Beacons Saved my fashion life through child birth, proverty, gaining weight everything a sister can go through shes always been there for me for the past 15 years of my life.
I went to Beacons Closet for the first time today and I was disappointed. I have 5 pairs of jeans which were practically brand new Levis Jeans to Vintage Jeans plus a pair of Uggs that were basically new and a brand new Adrianna Papel 200$ dress. The clerk indicated that they would only buy the Uggs but the price is so low she is embarrassed to say and referred me to another store called ELEVEN. Clerk indicated they offer low low offers when buying from customers and she refused to tell me what price and I was not going to beg to know. A customer overheard the transaction and indicated she had the same uggs and they bought them off of her at 14 St Beacon Closet for good price. I was turned off and do not recommend this location. To my opinion the clothes they had to purchase were extremely old fashioned. I was surprised they did not wish to buy my items. The shoes they had were old and damaged. I do not recommend this location. I would rather continue to sell my clothing on the web such as Ebay or Poshmark.
Alot of the clothes are overpriced. Some of the clothing will be ripped or torn too, its not a bad store but they need to do some changes
Just walked in earlier today - I asked this older woman who worked there a question about the sunglasses. She gave me no eye contact and and said - “I don’t know what you’re talking about what do you mean?” I was so shocked about her rudeness that I just laughed. How hard is it to be polite? They also didn’t take any of my new things just a leather BCBG jacket and gave me $14 for it. Never again.
Good for buying BAD BAD BAD for selling. To the point of making me not want to buy anymore. So many times I’ve arrived with bags and bags to sell to be told as soon as I walk through the door that they’re at capacity for the day. They never offer advice on alternatives of where you can sell your stuff so you end up lugging it back home. Advice: call before you come if you’re selling.
Staff is pretty snooty considering theyre working in a thrift store. They dont make you feel welcome at all and basically make you feel like theyre doing you a favor by being open. Not a great experience. However if you wanna get some money for your old stuff, theres not too many other options.
Don’t waste ur time. I went to drop off clothes in hopes of swapping for some new thrift finds. A lot of the clothes i went to drop off were BRAND NEW. Never been worn. I couldn’t fit them anymore bc i gained weight (good healthy, strength training weight) and they ended up telling me they couldn’t take anything bc of “condition”.,.. please tell me how when the items are brand new and have the tags still attached. That’s why i don’t buy from fake ass thrift stores like this. You overprice regular regular ass clothes but when ppl come to sell u won’t buy.. bc why exactly? No worries. Depop here i come 👏🏾
In regards to consigning here: I would rather donate to Goodwill than have hipsters pick through my stuff like they’re better than me. The Broad City episode is not an exaggeration.
I dont see what all the hype is about. The tiny store feels cluttered and cramped. THere wasnt much in the way of mens shirts and the womens dresses were a constant disappointment for my shopping companion with almost all suffering from blown out seams or stains rendering them nearly unwearable. What a waste. Ill go down the block to better stocked and more uniquely curated vintage stores.
I dont like to write reviews on places that ive been in just once (unless its excellent the 1st time) so I have been to this place a few times and I have to say it is really cluttered and unorganized. I have only purchased 1 item from there and ive been there 4 times. Its really hit or miss on what you get. Most of the time I go in there I see nothing but garbage, but you know what they say, one mans garbage is another mans treasure. The item I found in the store was a Ralph Lauren crest sweater that was a size small, which obviously couldnt fit me but got me some big bucks on ebay as it sold for $658.00. So there are definitely gems in this store but I just think you will have to go to this store very often in order to get first dibs on the new items. I just dont have the time or energy for that. I cant really give this place a bad overall review because I did find an item in there that was worth buying. I was told that they have 2 other locations another one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan, I might try those 2 and see if there is any difference. I think if youre a thrifty person I would go in there and take a look around but dont get your hopes high in finding anything that youd like IMO. On a good note the employees that ive come across all 4 times that ive been there have been very helpful.
The worst store ever! Was so disappointed. First of all they have so rude manager and the rest of stuff , very impolite, aggressive , bad mannered. Especially manager,, she doesnt know the basic rools of social conduct! Avoid this place if you dont want to be the victim of discrimination ! Second, stuff tricking you with their store-policy. Thats awfully! Dont have any competence to work , manager a boor persone!
I have Crohns disease, a debilitating disability in which I receive a chemotherapy treatment for, I ask to go to the bathroom and one kind soul allowed me to use the restroom even though it was employee only. If she didnt give me permission I could have had an accident. Once permission was granted I went down to the basement to go where I was accosted by two employees not allowing me to go after a minute of banter they let me go. Then after I go Im told I have to leave because I used their bathroom. This place is not accommodating to those with disabilities. This was my favorite store and I had clothes I was going to buy today. I left crying because of something I cant control.
Bad experience here. Dropped off clothes to be sold and was told to pick up in 1 hour. I came back 2 hrs later to be told itll still be another 15 minutes. I came back in 20 minutes for them to tell me they couldnt take anything today. Really?? Will never go here again. Waste of time.
Selection is rather small compared to other Beacons locations and it is on the more expensive side. Also, one staff just ignored and walked past me when I talked to them, it never happened at other locations.
I feel like this beacons closet gets a rep for not being as good as like, the one in bushwick for example, because people in park slope are (imho/people say) not very fashionable. but honestly every time i go here, i find a few things. i think it’s ofc a hit or miss esp depending on the season but i think it’s good
Smaller than the other one but well curated. Lots of designer sneakers. Had fun shopping here.
Do not drop off your clothes there to resell. They will go thru everything and choose one or two items. Do not waste your time.
I consistently find some really great gems here. Mens tops could be a little more organized but it adds a bit to the fun of it all - hunting for really great pieces hidden amongst lots of other clothes.
I made a trip to the Park Slope location after debating whether to go to Buffalo Exchange instead (my normal go-to). It had been awhile since I had gone to BC and as I approached the buying counter at exactly 7:30, the buyer said sorry we stop buying at 7:30. I explained kindly that I had made the trek and asked if she was really denying me over a matter of 30-60 seconds and she said yeah sorry if I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone and then Ill be here til 11, but with an added nastiness.Actually, no you dont have to do it for everyone, as I was the only person at the counter at 7:30.Im never coming here again. I worked retail for 7 years, and while I understand the need to draw boundaries, I also understand the importance of being flexible and accommodating within reason.Buffalo Exchange it is.
Love this place! The space is bigger than the manhattan one, so you’ll be able to walk freely and shop with more room. Always manage to find something amazing every time I visit. Great shop!!
Love some of the finds I got there. But honestly, the staff is way off. Like I’ve been told that it’s not a place for kids. Really now? If that is not a place for kids, I want to see a sign on a front door saying that I can’t come shop with kids. Disgusting
Way better options available in Williamsburg and greenpoint or Manhattan if youre willing to make the journey. Most items are overpriced. Beacons closet seem to pride themselves in acquiring items that are odd, unique, but aesthetically grotesque. It works for some people but for myself it doesnt.
Staff was very kind, get a handful of cute items there and each item was under $20! Very happy.
Love this place ! The selection is great, lots of good designer pieces , quirky vintage and clothes with character. The selling process is also very easy with staff being very friendly, clear and efficient!
I really like this place. Does not smell like a thrift store at all. They offer really nice clothing, and a they have great sales as well. It immediately became one of my favorite thrift stores.
Very prejudgemental staff and completely oblivious...I tried to bring in a unworn brand new name brand sweater that Ive never touched or worn and the staff member tried to claim that there was a smell to it. Absolutely ridiculous and complete waste of time. Poor service.
I always leave with an amazing vintage find OR a contemporary hard to find designer item. I wish they had baskets! Its exhausting to hold stuff and sort through all the racks.
I love the clothing you can find here and the prices arent bad, but the employees & customer service are consistently terrible, the sales associates constantly complain loudly about customers, talk amongst themselves, and just seem to hate being there. They act very childish and make the shopping experience significantly less enjoyable.
Really great selection! Found my favorite pair of stripe pants there... and I have many.
The online store is love! Usually check arrivals 1-2 times a week. Great pricing policy and super-fast shipping. Recommend.
I really did not like their selection, and do not go here to sell they only will take brand name like new items but somehow they only sell strange stuff, but who knows maybe you will have a better experience
Good shop but only for women, literally one rack of clothes that’s guys stuff and really it’s just for girls to pick from. Would be great if it was even a 80/20 split
I had a chance to visit this store front and lived the overall vibe. Everything was easy to find and shopable. Im now ordering online since I dont live in Nyc and its just as convenient. I love beacons closet.
I loathe this particular location. The staff there are SUPER snooty. If i didnt know any better i would also include boarderline racist.Ive done close observations on how people of color are treated there..its not even cute...dont worry i wont be back to that location
Ive been here to trade in clothes and they didnt take anything. I gave them clothes from last year and the year before but the took nothing. But thats kinda how most of these places are.
I completely agree...DO NOT SHOP THERE, THE STAFF IS SUPER NASTY....THEY MAKE UP THERE OWN RULES DEPENDING ON HOW THEY FEEL ..... THERE SUPER SUPER NASTY !!! THE OTHER STORES HAVE BETTER SELECTIONS AND ARE SUPER FRIENDLY!
Not really worth the time. You take tons of stuff there and they offer you like $20 lol
Nice clothes and trinkets at an affordable rate most times. You can find some trinkets online for cheaper but the clothes definitely are worth checking out.
Great selection of jewelry, lot of fun clothes but ona Friday night long line to try things on in the dressing room.
A wonderful place to find excellent clothing for the kids for back to school and for myself for back to work
I hadnt been to this shop in over a decade.They where once rather cutting edgeThe clothes and the mentality of the show have declinedRude and incompetent staff, with attitude ...
IM serial thrifter so good prices and great buyers make this my first stop when trying to complete an outfit.. shoes , trousers , over coats tops and bottoms..
My favorite store in the whole world! Great quality selection of clothes, shoes, and accessories. Seriously, why go anywhere else?!
I always love to go to this store,it has cute dresses and the workers are really nice
Beacon’s Closet is where I find some of the coolest pieces. You never know what you’ll find!!! It’s a very enjoyable shopping experience.
Good prices, just need a bit more nicer things, hard to get good finds
They are a shame! They literally kept some of my jackets for themselves.... I hope you enjoy them.
Wonderful online shopping experience! Great selection, always find something unique. Grateful for the fast delivery.
Better than ever! the place looks so neat and clean. great clothes
They buy socks from China and repackage them. Need culture or religion, being pretentious isnt an identity.
No masculine clothing left me bored. If youre a boyfriend coming to give fashion feedback bring a chargded phone.
I love vintage and this place is just a gem for vintage lovers. I am very satisfied with the quality of items.
Patiently waiting until you can see archived items in some way on the website :)
Super long line with a terrible selection once you finally get in the store
The stuff was okay, other locations are usually better
Lady had the audacity to say my new converse were worth 5 dollars on top of that she was rude and disrespectful, staring you down and giving you dirty looks
Who doesnt like to shop well before you do get rid of what you dont wear staff is really nice i been to all the locations in Queens , Bk.
Has become my girl favorite thrift shop and if she like it I like 😀😀😀😀
OMG that place is amazing very organize clean 😍 and super social distancing in place. You can bet Ill be back.
Like every other thrift store in Brooklyn, great finds, unnecessarily pretentious staff. Dudes...you work in an effing thrift store. RELAX.
The employees were very nice and helpful, great shoe selection and the tops were nice too.
Long waiting line for consignment and only took 1 item madee wait 2.5 hours for that. Unfriendly staff and unpleasant experience. Poor customer service
If you wear womens clothes its great, but the mens section is lacking. Great employees!
See o much ckithes from vintage to up to date current. As lot of restaurants to get a bite to eat. And as lot of subway and buses
I like this location too, but dont go as much. This store tends to be neater (I think its not visited as much).
Their business model is to not buy anything in hopes that you donate.
Great assortment of spring items. Polite staff.
Fair prices and well curated selection. Could use more mens clothes.
Worst customer service ever. The staff can process only basic information before they become confused and hostile. Unprofessional and incompetent.
Great finds! Inexpensive second hand clothes with choice for women.
Sold clothes here. Wasnt impressed at all. Bad customer service. I dont recommend them.
Amazing store with a great selection. Check out the Willamsburg/ Greenpoint store for the greatest variety.
Much different from other stores but thats what makes it one of a kind... Love it there
Usually a pretty good selection. I’m not the biggest fan of the staff or their customer service.
I left so irrirated, gave it more than enough chances. Need a new staff! End of my discussion!
Love this store. I always find cool stuff!
This is my favorite location. I always find 1 or 2 very unique and good quality pieces.
Wish there was a little more order, but all in all, good prices and selection.
The staff isnt always the friendliest and it can be over priced, but you can useually find something you like
Like others have said, don’t leave your stuff overnight and let them “donate” the rest.
I found a brand new Ted baker side bag, that originally is $350 mark down to $30!
Lots of used clothes to choose from. More so for women than men. Men section lacking a bit.
Out of all of Beacons Closet Ive been to, this is the one with the poorest selection of clothes and styles
Here you can find anything beautiful, unexpected and cheap. Take your time, dont be in a rush.
This place was comfortable and gave me a home feeling, very good prices.
Love this place .. but the jewelry is a little pricey.
Great online shopping experience with wonderful customer service, thank you for everything!
Great finds for decent prices and friendly staff!
Always something great to find in the racks here, it is like digging for buried treasure!
Good location! They have some nice things here
A bit on the expensive side for second hand clothes and accessories.
This would be a higher rating were is lady, but the mens selection was small
They won’t take any clothes. Be carrful
Rude & racist staff & mangers..never learned about customer service before.
Mainly female clothing here
I find something worth wild.every time I go
Just okay and expensive.
Great gently worn and vintage selection.
Lots of great new stuff every week.
Where all the “I Wanna Speak to the Manager” types come to work.
Good for buying, not so great for selling
Good selection and attractive prices!
My daughter enjoyed shopping here!!!!
Great place for vintage rare pieces
3rd time visiting, bought something each time
Only has a small mens section
Prices are reasonable, items are unique
Too expensive not much thrift stuff
Decent thrift shop with good turnover
Best thrift shop in BK
Fun to browse, decent selection.
Poor selection for men
Loves em
👎🏾
The best
Good old stuff
Well organized store
For women only, Specify in description.
I have nothing good to say.
All beacons are great
Excellent prices
Nostalgic
Excellent clothing
Not to friendly
Not the best
Never again.
Really enjoyed looking through the park slope location today, a great mix of interesting pieces for sure. the selection (like every thrift store!) is skewed pretty heavily towards womanswear but i found stuff I liked and i’ll totally be back! the employees were all super friendly and helpful! if the blonde with all the cool bracelets sees this you were a legend 😌 i had the cd necklace & my ig is donovanhendrick_ js
I would not recommend for sellers, I brought in multiple designer items in good condition and apparently they werent so they only took two items from me. THEY PAID ME $9 for a vintage Supreme item that I could have made over $200 from if I sold it on my Depop. I dont recommend selling to any of these types of shops (Buffalo Exchange, 2nd Street,etc). Ebay & Depop is the way to go.
I bought a Kate Spade for a little price from Renner .... If this is being in the worst ... Hahhahahahaha

2022-08-13I came in to sell some items (which were in great condition!), and I was asked to wait for 45 minutes so they can detect my clothing. I came back to the store and they haven’t even begun working on it and asked me to wait an additional 10 minutes. No biggie, the store was busy and I understand having worked in retail previously. After 10 minutes, they basically denied almost everything I brought in to sell. On top of it, most of the staff members are extremely rude. I wanted to let one worker know how many clothes I had, since I had two big bags, and her response was, “You don’t need to tell me how much.” I’m sorry? Yeah, hard pass on this store.

2022-05-16I love clothes here most of time very categorized in order of clothes etc. My one issue from this store is they reject a lot of clothes one brings to sell. I get the vintage look as that’s my style, however some brand are ok to buy in my opinion
Review №3
2022-06-14While not as inventory-packed as the sizeable Greenpoint location, there are nevertheless plenty of gems to be hunted here, and I always end up leaving with a treasure! Prices are really decent too.This was my first time selling at this location, and I was pleasantly surprised how many items they took in exchange for cash/credit. Be aware that credit for what you sell here can only be used at the same Park Slope location -- and you must hold onto the receipt to use it, rather than accessing via phone number like at the other stores.
Review №4
2022-05-11I brought 2 bags full of name brand clothes and shoes but they didn’t take anything which was a complete shock to me. If you’re going to sell your clothes you’re better off going to Buffalo Exchange.

2022-05-21If you’re selling, they don’t ask for your name, they just take it straight from your ID. So if you’re trans like me and haven’t gotten your ID changed yet prepared to be deadnamed - made me sad :( also could use more men’s clothes but guessing that’s because of what’s being brought in!

2022-06-04I called the store and specifically asked what their selling requirements were and proceed to bring in 10+ pairs of shoes brand new never worn and they denied them and was told they have no value how ?

2022-03-20Honestly i was expecting more for the hype it has. The store is super small and barely has mans clothes. Also, is the only story that requires you to have a mask nowadays..

2021-07-16I have sold clothes here a couple of times. They give 50% retail price for in store credit and 30% for cash. I love the transparency and the kind people working there.Shopping here is also great! They have some great clothing options here from vintage to high end to more modern stuff.

2021-03-09Went yesterday and was pleasantly surprised with how cute this store is and what good finds! For those saying it’s expensive, you can literally find brand new items for more than 70% off. Not to mention, this is NYC so I don’t really expect goodwill prices. I found fur lined coats for $30, winter adidas pants $15, a cute coin purse $5, new Zara pants and excellent Levi jeans $15. That is pretty decently priced..They have new stuff everyday too.✨
