The prices are shocking.
Considering all the items filling their racks are donated, these prices are an insult to the community. I casually asked an employee if the prices had increased recently and she mechanically spouted off that items are priced according to brand, quality and something else… clearly she forgot to mention greed.
Does the management not realize that it’s the very community that enables their store to exist? I won’t be donating here.

Since a new manager started his job at this branch the prices are unbearable , especially the jewlery case. Selling regular silver ring for 199.99$ when i checked it was signed silver NOT Gold and other rings unsigned for 69$ is not right and too much while we can get them from any other stores for 25$ . I used to buy jewelry bags a lot before and the price was reasonable for the stuff inside it. But now the jewelry bags has nothing than garbage . I will never shop from this store.

They apparently changed their policy that you have to donate a certain amount to get a coupon. I'm not sure what the amount is. My sister and I both donated a garbage bag and got one coupon between the 2 of us. I won't be donating anymore! I will donate to another thrift store.
Prices aren't that great; they are often quite expensive for donated stuff.
They do have change rooms. Staff is pretty friendly. The store is clean.

UPDATE: Thank you for listening and getting rid of the sticker system for the books you sell.
I have added a couple of new photos with paperbacks that I just bought today without the stickers. They are pristine and I'm very happy with them. You've restored my faith in thrift shopping at your store. Thanks!
ORIGINAL POST: Talize! Please stop using those crappy stickers on the books!! I bought some paperbacks at your store from the 1960s that were in really good shape and trying to take the stickers off (carefully, in various ways) it destroyed the book!! I have more books to try to remove the stickers from, but am afraid now that I'll destroy the rest of them! Try to find another, better alternative!
Edit: I've been buying books for years and removing stickers without a problem with the exception of the books I buy at your store.
