Don’t waste your time if ur looking for jewelry , I finally understand y this location never brings out gold , I was in store and seen a mole rat with a hat Magnifying glass on , with bag marked gold other marked 925 in the office area …. What a shame that a Salvation Army is selling the good items before have chance to buy , been to many salvation army’s never had they done this, pretty sure their store is not playing by the rules ….. I won’t be back . I would like to the company policy . Pretty sure who arranged this would be fired ….

This place used to be amazing and you could find good deals to stretch your paycheck. Unfortunately in the past 6 months to a year they have gotten greedier and greedier and prices are now higher than what you pay for items brand new at Walmart or the Dollar Tree. They used to do 75% off sales but no longer do those and only do 50% off which is no longer a good deal with the high prices. Went yesterday and found a sticky / dirty bag of plastic eggs for 1¢ more than what they are brand new at Walmart and several were cracked inside the bag, crazy! We also saw numerous items from the Dollar Tree that come in packs of 3 priced individually for .99¢ Several weeks ago we had seen a cute Minnie Mouse baby rocker seat that I was thinking of getting for a friends grand baby but it had been left outside the entire time and now had mold on it, so gross! Staff are super nice and the store is fairly organized but it is no longer a thrift store. Sad that they have gotten greedy like the Goodwill. The only things still priced at thrift prices are the kids books which are still .29¢ and .49¢. So at least even though they have gotten crazy greedy they are still promoting literacy for the kids.

I was interested in a serger sewing machine the price was fine it was not a new machine so you know you are getting something that may have issues. I specifically asked the man at the counter if it ran and he said they will only put it out front if it runs. I asked if I took it home and it didn't run can I bring it back he said No once it leaves the store no returns , he directed me to some outlets and said I could try it before I bought it . So low and behold the foot pedal was not for this machine no way to test it. it wouldn't fit no matter how many times he tried to plug it into the machine . He went searching for the right pedal then came back and said this is the one that came in with the machine . So did he lie about testing it ?? Buyer Beware.
