Here's how this Goodwill is worse: (1) Prices generally higher than non-Goodwill thrifts. (2) Smaller than the largest thrifts (Goodwill N. Lamar, Texas Thrift, Savers Pecan Park).

It's perhaps about 15,000 ft.². Most of the store is set up for clothing and they have a decent amount of shoes. There's not much in the way of furnishings or electronics. Finding anything collectible or of value is pretty much a game of chance. So if you're in the neighborhood it's worth stopping in from time to time, but this is not on my favorites list.

It's a really nice sized independent store that carries a great selection. The books are laid out in pleasant ways and you really enjoy browsing the shelves and exploring! They also have a really nice sized Children's Book Section and host Storytimes here as well. If you are a book lover, this place is worth a trip to Austin to check out, you will not be disappointed!

It was the…read moreSaturday before Halloween, so it was particularly busy at 11:30 a.m. I had to park on the side street closer to Cosmic which isn't the best since it's a dead end and at the halfway mark, there are signs for residential parking only. I just lucked out there was a space on the street just a couple hundred feet from their parking lot. Either way, I had been excited to see they were opening a store so close to where I live. Loads of people were shopping, likely for last-minute parts for their costumes for parties later that night. I only saw two employees working, but it could be there were more in the back or some that I didn't see on the floor. My costume needed denim shorts that hit mid-thigh, and while the weather had been cold lately, they had some in stock, I just wasn't willing to pay $26 for them. (I had a plan B for my costume anyway, if the shorts here didn't work out.)  I also came in with a tote bag full of a few pieces to sell. I ended up jumping in the line to pay for things since the area to sell clothing had no one at the desk, or even any signage that indicated what to do if no one was there. So, I waited patiently for the girl at the register to ring the two groups in front of me up, but in the meantime, I eavesdropped and saw she was great at making small talk and not awkward at all. When it was my turn, I told her I wanted to sell, and she had me go sit by the wall near the selling counter and call for someone else to help me. That person seemed conflicted about whether to look through my garments or assist the growing line of folks trying to buy, but she decided to help me out. I maybe had 10 pieces tops (in fairly good condition), and while she examined each and set them aside, she told me they'd buy for all seasons and next time I do a closet clean out, to come on by... but that was my closet cleanout. :/ I had some J-Crew and Madewell tops and a Zara jumper. (Yeah, I know, fast fashion ain't doing so hot right now, but to lessen our impact it's better to reuse than to trash it, right?) Anyway, I left a tad disappointed considering my last Buffalo visit a few months back led to $100 cash.  If you're looking to sell, it sounds like they want a few more higher-end goods or things that are trending. So dust off your old '90s goods, if you were smart enough to keep them. I, on the other hand, will be donating the items I attempted to sell to women in need versus dropping them off at Goodwill.

I absolutely would not return here to sell or consign anything…read more I dropped my clothes off around noon and was told there would be about a 2.5-hour wait. The girl who initially helped me was brand new and very nice, and I completely understand that new employees are still learning, so I had no issue with her. I accidentally entered one digit of my phone number incorrectly, so about two hours after dropping everything off, I called the store myself. I was told my items had been processed about nine minutes earlier. At no point during that phone call did anyone discuss what they wanted to purchase, what they were offering, or ask me to approve anything. When I arrived, they were still going through the items, and I noticed one of my pieces had been listed as a medium T-shirt--which immediately stood out because I don't even wear a medium. I was then told the item had already been tagged to be sold. That was extremely concerning considering I had never reviewed or approved what they were taking or what I was agreeing to sell. Riley was professional throughout the interaction, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the overall experience. Other associates seemed far too comfortable inserting their personal opinions rather than simply addressing a legitimate concern about the process. I've sold and consigned clothing before and have never experienced anything like this. If a business is purchasing someone's property for resale, there should be complete transparency about which items are being accepted, what the seller is being paid, and an opportunity for the seller to approve the transaction before their belongings are tagged for resale. The entire process left me feeling like the priority was getting merchandise onto the floor for the lowest possible cost rather than making sure the person selling it actually understood and agreed to the transaction. Then, when I questioned it, the responsibility seemed to be shifted back onto me. Completely unprofessional experience, and I would not trust this process with my belongings again.

According to Michael one of the staff, the store's meaning is two fold: 1) removing your items from out of the closet to bring to the thrift store and 2) out of the closet meaning coming out as LBGQT+. The store has a dual value proposition. It is certainly a thrift store with a variety of items to choose from including including, clothing, shoes, accessories. seasonal items and housewares. In addition, the thrift stores has inside a clinic and pharmacy that supports HIV/Aids treatment. For those individual that cannot afford treatment, their treatment and medication expenses are funded by the thrift store proceeds. I found all the thrift items to be very reasonably priced.
