My favorite retail store in Gainesville. The vibe, the staff/owner are so cool and leave you alone but friendly when it’s time for conversation, GREAT prices for good brands. I save lots by coming here.

It’s a shame I’m leaving such a low ranking review, because I really do love shopping here. But I feel like I should warn others about selling their clothes through this store. I dropped off some clothes yesterday and when I returned to pick them up, they told me my payout was 30 dollars for the items they decided to keep. However, they had no receipt detailing which items they kept and how much they were paying me for each item. I thought that was a bit weird, but brushed it off. But when I brought my bin home and looked through it, I felt like I had been scammed. They took at least 6 high quality items and I’m sure other items as well, paying me less than 5 dollars per item. This would be acceptable if the items were low quality, but they took new Guess jeans, new Buffalo jeans by David Bitton with the tags still attached (originally worth 100 dollars), LuluLemon leggings, Fabletics leggings, a skirt from Urban Outfitters, bathing suits and more. I could’ve made more money selling these items at Plato’s Closet. I love shopping here, but beware of their questionable buying tactics.

Can I bring items in without appointment?

Terry Larkin | Feb 20, 2022
Flashbacks Recycled Fashions | Feb 20, 2022

Hello. Because of the pandemic, we now require appointments although we do allow two same day walk in appointments. The way to get one of these appointments is to be one of the first two callers any day seven days a week requesting a same day walk in . We open at 12 noon so any day that you want to bring in your items, be sure to call as soon after noon as they’re usually both taken by 12:30-1. Thanks.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Hello and thanks for your inquiry. First and foremost, we require all customers to wear a face mask at all times while in the store. We’ve closed our dressing rooms and changed our ‘no return’ policy into a seven day return for store credit policy due to this. We’ve changed our clothes buying from customers from an open drop off into a scheduled drop off to reduce the people in the buying room. Due to being a small family business, we don’t have the means to increase our staff to strictly enforce distancing although our customer is usually younger and aware of science, we see many people do this this on their own. The days that we have issues with this are usually Friday and Saturday as they are our busiest. Though we can’t afford to have another employee continually disinfecting the store, we have our regular staff spray the commonly touched areas with disinfectant regularly and we stay an hour or so after hours daily to clean the store. That’s all the space I’m given, thanks!

Is this place still open? Last time I went, they closed down? Not sure if they were just doing renovations or moved locations?

Hello. Yes, we're still open. We're running on a temporary schedule right now 12-6 seven days a week. We're buying by appointment only. You can schedule at Flashbacksrecycledfashions.com

We want to sell y'all some 80s retro items. How much for trade for cash or store credit? When do you have appointments for buying? Thank you for your time.

Hello. We are still closed at the moment. We plan on reopening two weeks from this coming Monday. We'll be buying (for the first time in our 34 year history) by appointment only until we figure out a safe way to return to our old way of dropping off at your convenience. We will go through what you bring in, pick out what we feel we can sell, and price it at what we think we can sell it for. We can offer you 35% of that value in cash, or 40% in store credit, or half of what it sells for AFTER it sells. We love vintage clothing so we look forward to seeing your items! We will be posting info on our reopening on Facebook and Instagram. Look for us at 'Flashbacks Recycled Fashions'

How's your small couch/loveseat selection ?

Unfortunately we no longer carry much furniture. Thanks and sorry.

My wife has couple of Reba dresses she bought for a cruise...would they be things you would be interested in?

Hello and thanks for checking with us. I can answer your question this way, we buy casual clothing. Name brands help us price items but we can't tell from the name brand of we'll be able to buy the items. If the dresses are formal then we probably can't use them. We're always happy to look at your items. Worst case scenario is that we can't use them, best case is that we can and you're happy with what we can offer you for the items. We buy clothes T-W 12-6, Th-Sat 12-7. We're closed this Thursday and we'll be closing at 4 on Wednesday. Hopefully this helps. Thanks again.

Do you guys buy on Monday ?

Hello. We are in the middle of a move and we won’t reopen until either late this month or early next month. We didn’t buy on Mondays at our last location but we are re-examining every aspect of our business while we have down time. We are considering returning to buying 7 days a week but we won’t be certain until we get in and open at our new location, 220 NW 8th Ave.

Do you take dress boots

Jodie Winningham | Sep 19, 2019
Flashbacks Recycled Fashions | Sep 19, 2019

Hello. Yes we do but unfortunately at the moment, we're closed. We moved and the new location has had some permitting issues. We hope to reopen before the end of this month. Check out our Facebook page for updates. We can be found under "Flashbacks Recycled Fashions" Thanks for checking with us.

When is a good time to come in to bring clothes for sale

Teresa Halback | Sep 19, 2018
Flashbacks Recycled Fashions | Sep 19, 2018

Our summer buying hours are Tues-Wed 11-6 and Thur-Sat 11-7. Our buying hours will change later this summer and we will return to buying 7 days a week this coming Fall. The wait time depends upon how many people have dropped off prior to you. We buy a wide variety of clothing and styles. Our fashion trends are younger, falling somewhere around 15-40 although we never limit what we buy. As for particular styles, we buy modern, contemporary, name brands, mall brands, urban, punk, hipster, hippie, goth, vintage, and a whole lot more. We do buy ‘old styles’ as long as the old styles are current or classic. We do buy modern and vintage accessories. We stay away from business clothing unless they are fashionable. We do buy plus sizes.

Do you take baby clothes? How much do you price them for? How are we paid and how often? Also do you buy them outright and sell them yourselves? Thank you.

Tami Terwilliger | Sep 19, 2018
Silvo D'Argenta (paul Shafer) | Sep 19, 2018

We do not buy baby clothes. We buy adult clothes, accessories, shoes, hate, jewelry, knick knacks and small furniture. We pay 35% of what we will price the items, paid cash unless larger than 50$
