I have enjoyed shopping at Second Chance for several years BUT today I had a horrible shopping experience. I purchased or thought I purchased a pair of bifold trellis’. However, after paying and going to the bay to pick them up The staff had a lot of conversation among themselves trying to figure out what a pair was. They finally decided that each bifold trellis was a pair and that I had only paid for one. The bad part was that they treated me like I was trying to get away with something and explained that the salesperson was new and didn’t understand what a pair was. Then they proceeded to explain to me what a pair is. Well I guess us customers now have to determine if their sales people are experienced enough to write up the sales tickets correctly. BTW that salesperson said he interpreted the ticket that said pair of trellises to be the two on the sales floor! Needless to say I am saddened by how the staff acted about this and that they spent about a half hour trying to figure this out among themselves! I’m attaching a picture of the trellises for reference. I need long break from going back to this place again!!!!!

Second chance is someplace everyone with a home in Baltimore needs to visit from time to time. Treasures are waiting to be found. I won't say that the treasure is easy to find as it may be mixed in with a lot of "stuff". Yet if you take the time to explore and remain open to the possibilities, you just may find exactly what you never knew you needed. As for me, in perfect solutions for problems in my garden and great ideas for the next home improvement project. I pray you'll have a similar experience soon!

This is a great place to get used household items. However, please inspect potential purchases carefully to determine their manufacturer and research their actual costs because sometimes 2nd chance has priced the item close to what it would cost new. Also, check all lighting fixtures to ensure that they have their brackets, or else you will have to buy those things separately, which is not always easy with antique items. The really nice high-end furniture goes quickly, so be prepared to pay on the spot.

For retail pricing, we'll use our experience over 15 years and a lot of online comparisons. As far as giving a value of the donation for the donor, we are not allowed by law to do that. The donor is the one who determines what the value of the donation is and reports that on their taxes. Hope that helps
