Complete waste of time went in could find no parking anywhere took my clothes in all were in perfect shape Ralph Lauren polo golf clothes dress pants T-shirts brand new. Evidently I didn’t ask what they were looking for when I decided to bring clothes in because they only have specific needs nothing I had met their needs. I didn’t even let them get through the first bag before I turned around and walked out with everything don’t waste your time. I had everything folded nicely just rolled it up and stacked it rude people not nice not accommodating don’t do business with these people

Loved this location as well as the one further west of this location and in Nashville TN. Great place to find fashionable and neat finds at a bargain.

This place used to be so much better... now its been taken over by a lot of synthetic surplus clothes that seem to be dumped by big box stores, so there aren't as many more natural fiber pieces / variety :( also the last few times I've been in, the music has been terrible loud metal sort of songs that make me want to leave as fast as possible. Its kind of dark inside, crowded, and just.... nothing special. Bummer because it used to be my go-to spot!

*IF selling, schedule an appointment first!* They looked at my one basket of items even though I did not schedule an appointment even when I offered to come back another time. The manager's flexibility is a five-star in customer service alone. She was friendly, professional, and selected the items that fit the needs of the store. The cash offer vs. store credit is lower than neighboring thrift stores, but I walked away satisfied. Items tend to be more spendy, but I've found some great items for a good price before. Example: Mountain Hardware snowpants for $12 :D! Cashiers are friendly as well.

Questions & Answers

Do you have to be over 18 to sell here?

Maddy Wright | Jul 20, 2020
Bianca Visekruna | Jul 21, 2020

You have to be at least 16 to sell!

Does the store still buy clothes that is not currently a trending style but in great condition?

Rosa Romero | Dec 18, 2019
Flynn McQuiston | Dec 19, 2019

They buy lots of different clothes, not just trendy. I would recommend bringing in anything you want to get rid of that's in good condition. You never know exactly what they're looking for!

Are you buying clothes during Covid?

Collin Mills | Oct 18, 2020
Greg Lehman | Oct 19, 2020

Yes they are. You have to call up and make an appointment. They will tell you to wash all the clothes you are selling and then leave them alone for 24 hrs. We put all ours in large storage bins ( two ) after folding them nicely and they seemed to appreciate it. No clothes on hangers! Masks are a necessity. If you're more than ten minutes late you will be asked to reschedule and expect a half an hour to forty minutes for them to go through everything depending on your amount of clothes. I suggest spraying dry clean stuff or ( don't mention this ) or clothes to heavy to wash a spray of Febreeze. That's all I can think of.

Do they have plus size clothing?

Sequoia Bradley | Dec 18, 2019
Neko Ramsay | Dec 19, 2019

Yes, but they are mostly a fast fashion reseller so about a certain size (XL primarily) is extremely rare because those brands don't have many options about XL. Sometimes you get lucky though!

What brands do they take? And in how good of condition?

Lg Stylist | Dec 18, 2019

Will take most name brands, has to be in pretty good shape

Is there a special time you but clothes.

For apparel & shoes, selling during the season or one season ahead of time is best. They take costume sets and on trend accessories all year round. I find that I am either seen instantly or within 5 -10 minutes if I come any time between 6 pm to closing. Weekends can be hectic no matter the time of day, but if you dont have alot of things to sell, I suggest coming in right after opening or right before closing. Pro seller tip: bring in EVERYTHING you could manage on a rainy day. You will arrive to an nearly empty store and plenty of time to relax while you sell.

Does the store buy or consign clothes? Do they accept children's sizes?

Nicole Schell | Dec 18, 2018
Jillian Renfrow | Dec 19, 2018

They only buy adult sizes. No consignment. And they are very very particular about the items they will purchase. They will give you more if you opt for in store credit also. However i do know there is other places that exchange childrens clothes for in store credit. And im sure there's probably somewhere that buys them. There's also a place that buys all clothing by the pound.

How much could I sell good condition saint laurent sunglasses for

william cahill | Dec 18, 2017
B S | Dec 19, 2017

You won't make a Ton of cash at B.E. , but its a better alternative to donating for free. Try vintage reseller's first if your looking for real cash on any single item.

Do I have to have an appt. to bring things in to exchange? What days and times may I bring things to consign/sell?

Sue Metcalfe | Dec 18, 2017
Noah Salnardi | Dec 19, 2017

No just bring your clothes in whenever
