Please do not listen to Kathleen L.. Maybe she is demanding and expecting too much. First,…read moreshouldn't go into a thrift shop, any thrift shop, looking for a particular thing. Second, never expect whatever you look at to be in tip-top condition or even having all its parts. It's a thrift store. You want top quality, look to purchase from regular retail stores.
That being said, of general thrift stores, being Salvation Army, Goodwill, and Thrifty Shopper; I found Thrifty Shopper has more better products. Salvation Army quality and items seem like they are picked over/items often just trashed than have value. Clothing way overpriced and Salvation Army and Goodwill. That being said, clothing might have a stain, have a rip, miss a button; so either look into getting it repaired, fix it yourself, don't buy it. Surprising how much good things found there, simply because people do not look into how an item works(emptying trash in vacuum). Had good luck finding good deals. Do yourself a favor. If going into any thrift shop, test all electronics(ask for outlet to plug stuff in, prepare for there not being a power adapter for what you are looking at. If you keep expectations low, you will always be surprised. Finding stuff, personally had best of luck at Thrifty Shopper stores in general(two are in Syracuse as well).
Expect there to be days you look, but don't see anything you want, need, or of value. You want to seriously find something with a guarantee, there is Amazon.com, EBay.com, Letgo.com.
