I came here just casually not looking for anything in particular. There is no comparison to the Japanese stores, but this 2nd street has a decent selection. Was greeted as we entered and a bag immediately caught my eye in the display case. The price I felt was reasonable for vintage designer and in excellent condition. Staff I interacted with was friendly and not pushy. Overall, I had a good experience with my purchase and it's now one of my everyday bags! read more

eBay is entirely better! This 2nd Street place is hilariously overpriced with some items damaged, stained, small rips and serious signs of wear for the tag prices. There's a cramped and pompous mess nearly everywhere despite some fetching bags, shoes, jackets, and so much more. It's a place in desperate need of a make over. read more

2nd STREET - Pasadena - Inside - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Pasadena, California

Honestly better than I anticipated from reviews. Good selection for better price than most. Something for everyone. Lots of things from tees, jackets, pants. The dude that checked me out was cool and nice too. read more

This place is lame. Do not sell your clothes here! They want to give you a dime (yes the coin) for designer clothing. It's really bad believe all the reviews about getting ripped off. read more

Saw a comment about this place as a thrift store, but really it is a resale store. Well-curated, located in Old Town Pasadena, with helpful staff. I'm more of a thrift store person and they do have a section of affordable ($5-33) items, but really it's geared towards a younger clientele- I'd say 15-35 years old - who wants to pay $100 for a used BAPE shirt. It was worth seeing how the other half lives :) read more

DO NOT SELL YOUR CLOTHES HERE!!!!!!!! They are extremely rude and tried to offer us 10 cents for a crate of nice quality clothes and shoes. I'm not exaggerating when I say literally 10 cents. (I wish I could give 0 stars) read more

What a great place to find some vintage gems and rest asured they have been authenticated, stop in and have a look around I sure you'll walk out with something at a good deal. read more

be warned that if your shit has a "smell" they can't take it but they will make you wait 5+ hours to let you know!!! they've never smelled authentic leather???? these kids don't know wtf they're doing. never got a call or text that my things were ready and their rule is after 2 hours they can dispose of your things. no updates, they just expected me to do everything to offer me $12. please stop letting immature kids work. read more

I am absolutely furious with the incompetence of 2nd STREET. I purchased an item from their store, only to find out later that they failed to remove the security tag at checkout. This is beyond unprofessional--it's outright negligent! Because of their careless mistake, I was forced to waste my time and energy dealing with a problem that should never have happened in the first place. Not only was I unable to use the item as intended, but I also had to go through the massive inconvenience of returning to the store just to fix their incompetence. What if I had traveled out of town? What if I didn't have the receipt? This kind of negligence is completely unacceptable! A store that can't handle something as basic as properly processing a purchase doesn't deserve to stay in business. If you want to avoid frustration, wasted time, and sheer incompetence, stay far away from this place! read more

Don't sell your clothes here!!! The shorter guy @ the front is rude, deceptive, and knowingly ripped me off. I brought a big box of clothes in. When he presented me with the estimate sheet, he did not show me what he was taking until after I had signed off-- I did not realize he had labeled a $400 Scotch and Soda jacket as a "woman's top" on the sheet & put the estimate as $5. Because there were actual shirts in the box, I mistakenly thought that was what the "$5 women's top" on the estimate sheet was referring to, and I signed over the clothes. It wasn't until I opened the box that I found out he'd taken the jacket. Sleazy business dealings. Go to Crossroads if you're looking to get any money-- they will actually show you up front what they are taking and what they aren't! read more

Cramped space, racks stuffed, extremely smelly like they're burning packs of incense so much so it's hard to breathe. While I didn't have a particularly terrible experience like other reviewers it just wasn't that great in comparison to other thrift shops I've been to. I bought 1 item for $20 and found it online for about the same price read more

Fun place with lots of stuff. There is a wide selection of clothes, shoes and purses.

If I could I would put zero starts but unfortunately im unable to. Beware DONT conduct your services here if you want to be scammed out of making decent money. I was trying to sell a Ralph Lauren 100% cashmere perfect condition sweater and Burberry bag. When getting my estimate I was not shown transaction receipt thay shows how much they are giving me my estimate for and much they are willing to sell in their store for and was told by a short man working that he was not able to show the transaction receipt when that is not true anytime I have gone they have shown me the receipt NO MATTER WHAT. He was also VERY VERY VERY RUDE for no reason at all other than that he was mad that i WOULDNT take 100 dollars for those two items which should have been sold at the minimum of 350. If you want to deal possible scamming and shady business practices then this is your spot. Please DONT come to this location i have been to other locations were the service and estimates were better and higher quality. Dont waste your time, money, quarters for the parking meter, and gas on this shady ass place. Thanks but no thanks You will no longer be receiving my service. read more

Very cool spot in Pasadena. Prices are fairly decent for the items I'm looking for which is vintage/modern jerseys and sneakers. Anyway most of the items here are priced well. However I did find a sneaker that was listed very low below market and turned out to be too good to be true! They were fake nike dunks. Yep St John University size 10 dunks (vnds) listed at $150 while market was at $300+. I'm nervous to know what other items could be illegitimate. If you're coming to buy sneakers i highly recommend that you bring a UV light. I would give 1/5 stars due to the item being fake however because of the great customer service I experienced on 11/23 around 2pm, I'm giving 3 stars. read more

Called ahead for selling and was told that I was good to come only to arrive and wait 15 minutes to be told they are no longer selling after watching them talk with another seller the whole time. Don't come here if you value your time and the gas it takes to get here. read more

This place is a joke. DO NOT BRING CLOTHES TO SELL. I understand that they want to make us much money as they can but the estimate I got was a joke, $26 for 10 designer items, some were new. They offered $1 for a Zegna Blazer. 12$ for vintage jimmy Choos. $1 for cashmere $400 sweater. On top of that everything in their store is very overpriced. You can get the same items on real real, Vestiaire for half off read more

I believe this is the second location they have. I could be wrong, but the first one in Sherman oaks is amazing. This location, Pasadena is way smaller compared to the other. Isles are pretty tight and things are all crammed together. I guess you have to utilize the space you have. We were temp checked upon entering. Mask of course was required. The isles are pretty cramped with things all lined and placed on top of the shelves. The selections of vintage items are good. It's just the looking game when you have to scatter through everything. They do have plenty of accessories which is amazing. Handbag, shoes, wallets, belts, hats and so on. Displays cases for the designer was right in the middle wall. Pretty cool place and nice items. Shopping can be a bitch if it's crowded as your walking pass people who's doing the same thing you are. read more

2nd STREET - Pasadena - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Pasadena, California

Probably the worst of all the 2nd streets as far as consignment wait times. Staff was beyond inattentive -- too busy having conversations about karaoke with other coworkers to be bothered. I came in with 8 items, and within my wait time of 1.5 hours the person was only able to authenticate two items, and when I asked for an eta on the rest all they could say was "a while." Professionalism was nonexistent, the person even told me how much they were marking up one of the two items I sold to them in comparison to what I was getting. I was paid $40 on an item they told us would be selling at 150. By the rate at which my other two items were authenticated, if I had actually waited for the rest of my items to be authenticated I would have been there for 8 hours on a work shift with them. The worst part was them telling me that the only way they can authenticate is with a chat system in Japan. Definitely do not trust a place that uses a chat system as an authentication service. Don't waste your time here, everything is beyond marked up and buyers clearly have no experience in what they're doing. read more

I really like this store--it's awesome. I've always wanted a shop that sells almost everything, from Nike, Adidas, Jordans, and New Balances to various other clothing brands, even vintage pieces. It's a great spot to find cool stuff, especially shoes. One time, I visited the store (I'm from Redlands), and I found these amazing New Balances, size 11, for just $80. Online, they go for $200, so it was an absolute steal! I've also bought shirts there at great prices, along with other shoes. However, there's one downside to this store: if you're trying to sell clothes, they don't offer great prices. Even if you have expensive or designer brands like Supreme, they'll only give you about $10 for a shirt. If you bring in a whole basket of clothes, they still won't offer much, so I wouldn't recommend selling your items here. You're better off going to another store that pays more fairly. But other than that, this place is fantastic. If you love fashion, you'll find some really cool stuff here! read more

Service/Staff was amazing and they have a nice selection to choose from as well as a wide price range.

The Pasadena Manager was rude and sadly uneducated about designer brands, fashion and customer service - be better. I love 2nd street and have been to the original locations in Japan, this store's management needs communication training. The Melrose and studio city locations are better. read more

I think there's a real reason why the last couple reviews are bad reviews... I believe the store manager is the key to this Came here today to sell two pairs of shoes. Somehow they already stopped buying an hour before the usual time, because they had too many things to go through. And told me to come back tomorrow. I said I only had two pairs of shoes, so if he would just take a look and lmk if I should come back. He told me they take everything, EVERYTHING, so I should just come back tomorrow. I was in disbelief (how can they possibly take everything?) so I asked if he could at least lmk the payout for the two pairs of shoes He rejected again saying the prices change depending on the buyers- different buyers offer different prices... ??? How is this possible? I manage too and there's no way that's how a shop works. So I asked, "so it just depends on how lucky I am with the buyers?" He then said everything has to go through him if buyers want to buy for more... so... at the end of the day, each buy does offer the same price... so, no, the prices do not change depending on the buyers if everything has to go through the manager. I was annoyed so I ended up pulling out my shoes to show him anyway. He saw them and told me they do not buy this brand of shoes.... Ok, store manager, didn't you just tell me you guys buy EVERYTHING??? If you were trying to drive away sellers then at least make some good excuses. Thank god I found out he was not making sense and saved myself a trip back. If he would've just been generous to take 2 seconds to look at my shoes then he didn't need to make himself look like a fool. Owner of this store needs to hire people who are capable of good customer service. read more

Yikes! I was surprised at the super-low prices at this store! They must have lowered the prices to increase volume of sales! Just about everything I saw was around $6 or $12, which makes for low risk shopping! One star off for the horrible parking situation. I spend as little time in downtown Pasadena as possible bc of limited parking. read more

.... There are decent items here and there but then if you compare the prices online, most likely you'll find something of equivalence at a lower price. Came to buy some quick stussy t-shirt, find out there is a hella noticeable scuff, or iron marks which I pointed out. Then this women, interjects into my conversation and aggressively points out that this consideration when pricing it out, which I DOUBT because I look online and brand new is basically the same price? 1 star because that same woman working front desk is a complete idiot - I left my flask at the store which I was sure of, so I gave the store a call which that same girl answered.. I clearly stated on a call black Stanley, water flask. She claims she checked everywhere in less than 20 seconds... sure and tells me it's not there. I ask her, "are you sure?" I go there immediately, and it's sitting in front of her on the counter top. When I confront her about it, she thought I meant I left a water bottle? Mfer trying to resell my Stanley cup lmaoo read more

Nothing like trying to shop in a store where the employees can't dress & have rocks for brains. Big news-- wearing overpriced, unfitting clothes can't cover up the awful personalities. read more

Very cool second hand vintage and collector clothing store with all types of sneaks, jewelry, clothing, bags, etc. large variety and very well organized by brand from everything LV to Supreme. Friendly staff as well. Little higher prices than some others but merch and stir is very well kept and organized. Worth the visit. read more

Would not recommend this store to sell designer items. The young gentleman who priced my designer item was rude in terms of the way he explained how he decided himself on the pricing, which is funny because I know a lot about designer items and he was 100% wrong about quoting me from a particular website, and even bravely challenged me and let me know where he compared my item from. Maybe if he had been a bit more knowledgeable before speaking and instead of sounding like an ignorant little boy making price guesses, I wouldn't have been so put off by this store. read more

Unfortunately, doing business here was a disappointing experience overall, and you should come in knowing they're going to take advantage of you. Of course you shouldn't expect to make a mint at these places, but when you see how much they mark up - then sell - your items, you'll wish you went somewhere else. Or better yet, donated them to a charity thrift store so at least the money would go to a good cause. When I came in to sell several nice handbags (authentic Kate Spade, gently used, leather - pics below), the staffer handling the buy took less than 10 mins to "assess" the condition and value of the bags. She was super cold and acted like she couldn't be bothered - like, the items I brought in were lame and probably wouldn't possibly re-sell at a decent price. Well, someone give that woman an Oscar! For (4) bags, she basically gave me $13/each. For the brand and condition of the bags, I thought I'd get at least $20/each. But I'm not desperate for the cash, and wanted to just unload them and be done with it. A few weeks later, I went to their website, I saw that ALL the bags had been sold, from $39-$59 each. I feel weirdly ripped off. Should have consigned with RealReal or again - donated the bags to a charity thrift store. But hopefully others can learn from my mistake. read more

So the reviews are correct, this is one to avoid. Laughably overpriced items, nothing is organized by size, and it's so cramped you have to duck into the clothes to let someone pass you. I'm surprised they manage to stay in business. read more

Terrible business tried to show Balenciaga didn't give me a price estimate. And same for my designer sunglasses waste of time. They act so boujeee at the Pasadena store Melrose is way better read more

2nd STREET - Pasadena - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Pasadena, California

Had a bag of high quality pieces (Northface, Rock & Republic, Vera Gomma, Nike) all like new and of the bag I brought to be sold they chose 3 trash shirts I didn't think they would take and offered me $1.65. I had no time so I took it and they offer to take the remaining items to "donate" which basically means staff takes whatever they like. Staff meaning teenagers managed by questionable "adults". I said sure donate it to which the older worker looked subtly pleased. Haven't felt scammed so badly from a thrift store and selling to 2nd St is the wrong answer. read more

Man forget all these stupid reviews saying "It was packed it was dirty" Yes bro it's a thrifted and resold items shop it's SUPPOSED TO BE. This place was AWESOME! I got a pair of Jordan 312's that retail for 160 for only 43$! They have great prices, GREAT styles and great selection, and all the employees were incredibly helpful and kind. Even the Security Guard was helpful! Come check this place out!!! read more

Haughty, rude and even a little ageist. It was clear my purses were not a good fit for this place. I knew I'd do better donating them and claiming a deduction. I wasn't offended when they quoted me cents and not dollars. I did get upset when I saw they'd thrown my purses in a crate without their dust covers. read more

This place is more of a miss than hit! The service sucks, everyone always has attitude. THE MANAGER IS REALLY RUDE! The system was not working, only cash! I had 18 dollars cash and the item I was willing to buy was 19. Like I said I said only cash. The worker was giving me a discount because the system was down and I only had card and $18 cash! The manger did not allow it because she MUST go to lunch and couldn't finish helping me out. They told me want to go get more cash?! Like how about fix your system everyone is the store was also disappointed bc when they were going to check out only CASH!!! Terrible experience. read more

Great selection, cool brands and street fashion. Lots of sneakers and hats. Would definitely come back read more

I read the reviews prior to coming here and didn't know what to expect but upon getting here dropping off my clothes, and getting an estimate, I was very pleased with the amount. I've sold designer and luxury clothes on Poshmark/Depop/StockX and some things you just have to come to a place like this to sell. The prices they give are very fair, the workers are very kind and straight to the point. People love to complain, ignore the other reviews and go in with an open mind and you'll be pleased and happy read more

Definitely don't sell here - unlike other stores where there is a direct price point to payout they kinda arbitrarily give you a dollar amount - most between 1-10 dollars l. I honestly can't understand how they source their high end stuff and pay at the rates they do. You're better off selling literally anywhere else. Selection is middling I came here a few times over 3 weeks but because they're but process is poor the stock in this small store barely moves. Found a cool designer piece for 300 but even then it was intermingled with oil stains. Worth looking through maybe 2x a year but I don't see the appeal because if I'm looking for designer and designer pricing I can't be more discerning online and support a person as opposed to a chain store. read more

My first and last time selling here. I will never return to this shady ass business. In short, the only people who should sell here are junkies. The wait was an hour and a half and they bought several items--a few were brand new designer pieces with tags/in the box, and the total was...$75. SEVENTY. FIVE. Sadly, I accepted it out of sensory overload--from the loud music, being bumped into various times in their tiny, crowded shop, and this sketchy dude who was hanging over the counter asking repeatedly if I wanted help taking my things back to my car and asking for a tip. When I left to bring my car around so I could load back up, I realized...WAIT A MINUTE. This is what they purchased for SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS: - Kate Spade suede pumps - new - James Perse plaid shirt - Nike Air Forces - new in box - black wool pea coat - Burberry argyle sweater - Isabel Marant bucket hat, new w/ tags - Nike Penny's - AirMaxes - Splendid velvet shirt - Free People pajama pants When I returned to collect my unsold items, I let them know I wanted to take back the designer bucket hat with tags and the NIB Nikes. They said they couldn't do that, and another buyer who wasn't there before said they were supposed to give me a breakdown and allow me to approve each individual item. They did not give me an itemization. Their reaction was essentially--WHOOPS! SORRY! Welp, guess you got the short end of the stick! *shoulder shrug* I looked at price tags while I was waiting and they are definitely getting over on the seller, fam. Getting OVER!!!! It seems they're operating as if karma isn't real. Cheating people won't work out for them over time, but hey, everyone has to learn the lessons for themselves. read more

Arrived at 11 when they opened. There was one guy before me. TWO hours later, the saleslady still wasn't done going through my things, or even focusing on finishing it up until I had to let her know how long I was there patiently waiting. 5 minutes later she called me with a stack of designer clothing and offered me $29!! It was a total insult and a slap in the face. I told her absolutely NOT and to put it all back in the suitcase I brought. I left there and went to Crossroads down the street and they gave me $225 and was in and out in 30 minutes. Stay very far from this place if you're looking to get a decent trade for your clothing and accessories. What a waste of TWO HOURS and $3 in quarters feeding the meter. read more

The girl didn't even look inside my box of clothes that I was trying to sell. She was also really rude to me. She literally said, "we're being very selective." And looked at me. I asked if she was going to look into my box of clothes and she mentioned she "could". If she even acknowledged or wanted to check out the clothes she would've opened the box. Then she proceed to just look into the bottom and said, "none of this works." I told her to pull the pieces out one by one and she will see designer brands that they carry and want. She didn't want to check out the items piece by piece. This is just plain laziness and lack of care as a seller and customer. What a joke. Save your time and go elsewhere. read more
