Terrible customer service. The cashier that was closing on Sunday, Sept 18th was unhelpful and rude. He was hesitant to let me test a small lamp, and when he agreed to it, he untrustingly took it from my hands to do it himself. As he announced closing, he added rather rudely that he wanted everyone to hurry up and leave so he could get home early. When my friend went to check out for some plastic folders and a timed power switch (which were in near relic condition), she asked if he could do $5 or $6 for the whole thing and he said "Whoa, skipping a couple steps there" in an impolite tone. Not sure what he meant by that, but he sounded annoyed. When I checked out, I also had a small lamp, which I had decided not to buy. He cut me off mid-sentence as I was asking what to do with it and said "You put it back." I was shocked and asked him if there wasn't somewhere behind the counter since I had gotten it from outside, but he just got more insistent and sort of hostile, saying "You're going outside, why don't you just put it back where it was out there when you leave?" That was the first time I've been bullied since middle school.

Not at all what I had hoped for. It's more yardsale trash items than it is reclaimed, reusable products.

We have a lot of screen doors at the moment. I haven’t measured but I bet we have that size since it is standard!

Perry Smith | Sep 19, 2019
Betsy Pearson | Sep 19, 2019

Yes they've had belts before but you might go an not have any at the time. If you for sure want a belt for 5 bucks or less go to goodwill, or few more bucks go to sandy consignment shop or other thrift stores but at repurpose project I'd call as they just might not have at this time an waste a trip!

where can I find used 2" electric metallic tubing (AKA 2" EMT)

A Google User | Sep 19, 2018
D Bland | Sep 19, 2018

In the past, while shopping in this type of store, I learned that you need to search and dig to find something unusual...it could be buried under other items. An inventory is probably not available on each item. There is another shop similar to this one on 441 on the left before you reach the stop light in Citra. Again, there probably is no inventory, so you have to look for an item yourself.

Wii you take a down quilt which is dirty on surface but deeply packed with down?

anita staengl | Sep 19, 2018
D Bland | Sep 19, 2018

The store sells a home dryer 'dry-cleaning' kit which might be nice to try on a quilt that can't be washed in a machine. Then, it would be great to donate to a thrift-type store that handles gently used items...good luck. I'm sure someone would love to have a handmade quilt.

When and what things are you excepting?

Elizabeth Perry | Sep 19, 2018
Dorothea Mike | Sep 19, 2018
