I work in retail and I can tell the staff here actually loves their job and is doing it with a smile, super friendly extra "Thank you" for that. I only came to sell two times but both times i left with cash and at least three items, lol, they have great selection of different brands and styles. Very satisfied with value of this experience. Fitting room staff was friendly tooooooo! They have GEM items. I did not take pictures but loved everything. read more

I came in Friday evening 1/23 and had a very bad experience, which is surprising because my prior experiences have been great. Beforehand, I called to ask if they had a bag limit (they don't). My closet purge was way overdue, so I had 3 rolling luggages that I brought in. Immediately when I entered, the vibe was off. The night crew was all males and they had very poor customer service! The manager was fine, but the two buyers could not stop rolling their eyes to eachother, looking super annoyed I brought in 3 suitcases. They would constantly look at eachother, then me, like speaking to eachother telepathically, probably cursing me out silently for making their jobs harder. The two buyers was a Latino guy with longer hair and facial piercings, and a white skinny tall guy with longer hair. Here's the thing, I know it's a lot to sift through and it's not what you wanna be doing on a Friday night, but I drove far to get here and I'm not going to be bringing 2 bags at a time. It's also not my fault they don't have a bag limit. It was a Friday night and the store was DEAD mind you. This was so unlike my previous experiences a year+ ago, the crew working was either mixed gender or girls and they have always been so cheerful even when I brought in 3 luggages. I felt like such a bother! The next day, I brought all 3 of those luggages to Buffalo Exchange in Fullerton and I guess and I was being overly accommodating helping them put the clothes back into my luggage, hovering and making their buying experience easier however I could. The buyer was a bit confused, and was wondering if I was sorting the clothes she passed on to donate. I said no Id take everything back, Im just helping her pack up the clothes again because I know it's a lot of stuff, and she was like "Oh I've seen more! Don't worry at all, I can put the stuff back it's literally part of my job." This was on a Saturday afternoon when they were really busy mind you! Its crazy how the previous night's experience at Crossroads made me feel self conscious about being a bother, but in fact its THEM that is the problem. They are horribly lacking customer service skills and really should try harder to suppress their irritation (its a skill you must have in that industry). I wouldn't have written this review, but my great selling experience at Buffalo Exchange was a night and day difference. I hope they get some friendlier staff on board. read more

I came here to sell several bags of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Most items were gently used (many worn only once or twice), well cared for, and from recognizable brands. Nothing was accepted. I understand resale stores buy selectively and by season that part isn't the issue. The problem was how the items were evaluated. The review felt rushed and overly generalized, as if a few pieces were used to judge everything without a proper look. There also seemed to be limited experience recognizing quality, including higher-value items like a genuine leather business bag. What makes this confusing is that the store's current inventory does not reflect the same standards they claim to require. Much of what is for sale is comparable or lower in quality than what I brought in. Overall, this was a waste of time. If you're looking to sell good-condition items, you may want to donate instead or go to a resale business with clearer criteria and more knowledgeable staff. read more

Crossroads Trading Co is a great 2nd-hand/consignment store. It is one of the bigger ones in the area and it's also organized really well. For me, going into a store that is organized well is always really important, especially one with so much merchandise. I know when it comes to selling here, they are pretty particular and I believe you can find some of the styles they're looking for online. Unless you have a really high end item to put on consignment, I wouldn't expect to make too much by selling your clothes here. The better way is probably to trade for a store credit. I always find some treasure when I come visit! Can't wait til next time I'm in the area! read more

First time ever here at Crossroads Trading, for some reason, I thought this was like a regular thrift shop, but it's not! Went in and Was sort of disappointed it was just clothing and shoes for the most part, BUT Then.... I found a really cool pair of vintage leather Red Wings, and lo and behold, they were 10.5 ! And even more surprisingly to me, they were within my price range. Needless to say, the boots were tried on, and a moment later I was at the register purchasing them. ...gave this review four stars, but I'm wondering if it should be five. Customer service was good, the line for purchases was short, would I go back there? Definitely. read more

Crossroads Trading - Found some shoes - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If I could leave no stars I would. Inventory sucks. Wasted an hour & a half of my time for 15$. I had never worn oner, alo & lulu lemon & much more. Never going here again. Posted about it on my insta & my DMs were flooded with similar complaints about this place . Not to mention workers are rude & dismissive. Thanks for wasting an hour & a half of my time. Gives thrifting a bad name. read more

Honestly really nice selection of clothing & shoes here! I came on a weekday morning and it was moderately busy, but easy to get a fitting room and walk around. All of the girls who helped me today at the fitting room area were super friendly!! Gabbi rang me up and she's a sweetie + was equally excited about my finds today as I was feeling so that was really awesome LOL I'll definitely come back in a few weeks * also parking is easy, but there are a lot of 30 min spots so just be careful :) read more

Tysha, the Hub Manager, reached out to me, and took care of business. She explained to ask for her or any manager anytime there is an issue. Great costumer service, and I'm very grateful. Thank you read more

Crossroads Trading - That lame store... warning... be with your receipt bc they won't remember or try to. Excuses, and being right is what they care about. - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I love this store! I'd also like to recognize the buyers because I always find really cool things here - and the inventory changes daily because I visited two days in a row.....this time I picked up a very current pair of New Balance that are practically BRAND NEW! The jean selection is amazing and I'm always finding great Levi's. This store is very clean, very organized and I enjoy shopping here! Highly recommend! read more

I took 4 bags of clothes and shoes to this location. The buyer didn't accept anything. Most of what I brought in was gently used Abercrombie, American Eagle, Zara, Steve Madden, Express, etc. But he only pointed out the few pieces (6) from target/shein as representative of everything I brought in, saying it would be difficult to sell. I had a couple NWTs as well that weren't accepted. This would have been fine, I understand it might not be what they're looking for. But when I was browsing their selection, they are selling jackets where the pleather is peeling off of it. I don't understand how all the clothes I brought, including the new basic cardigans, were not accepted, but quality like this was on the floor. On the bright side, the buyer was nice and gave me a coupon. read more

Crossroads Trading - Jacket with the pleather peeling off of it, specifically the shoulders and neck/collar - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

The BEST Crossroads location I've been to sell clothes!! The staff here is so friendly and take their time to view/consider each piece of clothing. The last time I came, they bought half of the items I brought in which is pretty good! Highly recommend this location read more

No one greeted me, but that's ok bc I didn't want to be noticed anyways. They were playing mid 2000s rap which pleased me bc I was afraid of feeling too old while I browsed through the half off rack. read more

Everything can improve at crossroads! They are so slow. And the buyer selection is cringe. The buyers don't know what designer brands are. They turn their noses up at Paige Jeans. They wouldn't take Steve Madden. The junk they have for sell. Never again will waste my time going in there with designer clothes from Nordstrom. They took in nasty worn out clothes and I had items not even worn. They don't know what they want. read more

This crossroads was literally amazing. Ryhan (I think that's how it's spelled) IS A GIRL'S GIRL. She was looking out for me especially when I saw an item on hold. And when person holding didn't come in, she immediately held it for me. She was so sweet and UGH TRULY. I CANT THANK HER ENOUGH. Absolutely shopping here again, she made the experience. And the top was such a great price for the brand. read more

They stole a pair of my Valentino shoes. Said they were never in the pile of clothes I brought in and I know 1000% they were. Don't take your clothes here. read more

I go to a lot of crossroads as they're my main shopping spot. This location is really big and they have lots to look through. Prices were pretty high on some items which is disappointing but they had a good selection overall and plenty of dressing rooms. It was busy but they have lots of staff to help out. One of the better crossroads I've visited I'd say in terms of quality of selection other than the prices being a bit high. Some of the items in there were really really worn just because it's a brand name it shouldn't mean they should be charging so high for it. read more

I love thrifting and this is a great place to thrift and find treasures. The prices are reasonable.

This is the best crossroads I've ever been to! Jenna was absolutely wonderful helping us!! it is super clean and well organized the manager seems so cool and like she has a great relationship with her employees. The quality and brands that are represented here can't be matched! I've been to various crossroads all over LA and I have one right by my home in HB none compare! This will be my main stop from now on I can't believe I live 10 minutes away for so long and never stopped by! read more

Amazing service and good quality items! Rhyan was so kind and helpful with my first time selling. Would definitely come back to shop or sell! read more

Please note they don't take or sell kids clothing which would be a huge opportunity for them. Went to try and sell a few high end items that I was no longer using. They swifter through them and didn't buy any but that is because they only look for clothing that season (I guess I get it but I not likely to see fall clothes when I would wear them). The waitlist is a scam. They ask you to get there in the 15 min window, check you in and make sure you wait for another hour. The service was horrible- when speaking to the girl to ask if I should bring the clothes back in the summer, I got a very vague answer that didn't answer my question. Looked through their stuff - it's okay! Will not return to sell or buy...definitely not worth it! read more

Let me start by saying I started my resell journey at Uptown Cheapskate in El toro. Horrible experience. Rude and denied my bag of clothing without even looking at it. Mind you I had higher end items brand new with tags. Employee literally took 30 second on a giant trash bag and said no. She complained first I had too much stuff then took nothing. I came to Crossroads and was met with a smile. The process was flawless. Britney was so helpful and honest start to finish. They took EVERY SINGLE ITEM I brought in AND consigned and item so I could get paid more. I also purchased $180 in new things, left with $280. Every person working was happy, helpful and kind, even with the grumpy people who came in. Bravo Crossroads. Keep up the great work! read more

Do NOT sell with them! They lie and are completely unorganized. I never got an email so they just gave my stuff away. I was so angry because I didn't want to donate my clothes. I had a consignment shop who would have taken some of the items and now the stuff is gone and I have nothing. Liars and thieves. read more

Everything was well organized and there was plenty of room to walk around. They had a large selection of trendy and vintage clothing. I didn't have to wait in line to use the dressing room. Dressing room attendant was friendly as well as the cashier. I walked around for a long time with my friend. I ended up buying a vintage black slip to wear under a dress. It was exactly what I was looking for and it was affordable! read more

Love this place! Come at least 15-20 mins. before they open if you want to sell your clothes and wait for them. A nice line starts outside and people sit along the wall waiting for them to open. Done forget to check their website for the types of clothes they're accepting. I need to do a better job of checking that before I clean my closet! I would probably have more success around selling if I did. I never just take the cash and always prefer to collect the credit. Now, it's even better because they got rid of merchandise credit cards and it's all digital in your account across stores! This location is my favorite. This trip, I was able to find a pair of new white Adidas sneakers, Vuori joggers, and Lululemon for dayssss! All for a fraction of the cost. AMAZING and in excellent condition. I can't wait to come back. read more

Very long wait for me on a like 5 items. Takes more than 90 minutes. No respect or consideration by the ladies when they allow so many people with at least 3 or more bags of clothes to get ahead. Lack of selection here of what is sold. Definitely not coming again on poor service. The manager of whoever in charge is awful. read more

I've been to several Crossroad locations and this is my favorite. This location is always stocked n neat. I was shopping 2 weeks ago and a nice friendly associate name Caitlin helped me. Please recognize her for her excellent customer service. read more

There are some cool finds here but I still find it very expensive for secondhand clothing. I found a nice polo shirt but it was snagged and they only offered 10% off. Plus my trade in didn't cover tax. So I was still owing $35 on a damaged shirt !!!!!!!! They wouldn't give more discount. Not sure how they would even resell it with a line on the front of the shirt with missing thread. I got it for now and will take the next few days to decide if I want to keep it. On top of that, I get home and noticed that one of the shirts I bought HAS A SECURITY TAG STILL ON IT!!!!!! Absolutely unacceptable. The people working there are very nice. But attention to detail is subpar unfortunately. I'm considering returning this item, not sure if it's worth it after all the trouble.... Also You barely get much for trading in. But better than nothing I guess. read more

The service is absolutely horrible because the staff is rude when asking them questions. The selection is pretty awesome been my second time there. And the value of the stuff is expensive to be honest but I understand why. There are so many cute things to see.vi bought a Michael Korss purse for 30 dollars and ii couldn't believe it . I was really happy . Not with the service but the clothing. I believe when you work in retail, customer service should be number one and put a smile on your face without any hesitation. That's my honest opinion. read more

Honestly, I have much better luck when I sell by mail here. I knew that they probably would not take much of my stuff at this particular location but I was in the area so I figured why not. Roaming around the store while I waited I paid close attention to price points on items similar to what I brought in. Most of the items were far from recent in my opinion and priced high for what they were. Over $20 for a well worn Madewell flannel that was over 4 years old? (sometimes you can see the season and year the item is from on the inside tag) Any way, from my entire bag they selected only three items all of which were new with tags and less than a year old. They offered me $30 store credit or $17 as a cash out option for a Zara coat, J. Crew top, and J. Crew silk skirt. I kindly said no thank you. I get they need to make a profit but man... read more

I haven't purchased anything, have only sold items. I like that, unlike other local consignment shops, you check in on an iPad with your number and they text when it's your turn & you have 15 minutes to return before losing your spot. No waiting in a line. You can shop, the center has many stores, coffee/food shops, etc. Buyers vary drastically. My son and his girlfriend went recently to bring their own stuff (they too felt that it was a fairly positive experience) and I threw in a few things with my son they had passed on last time (a week prior) but bought this time! I haven't purchased anything (yet) but I do think they have a good selection. And there's always buyers and sellers any time a day I go. read more

I have been to Crossroads on several previous occasions -- to purchase items, but had never "sold" anything there, and was; therefore, not certain how "smoothly" everything would go. Their "App" allowed for me to establish my "place in line" -- however, depending on the number of other individuals wanting to "sell" (at the same time) -- the "wait period" can sometimes be an hour. When traffic backed up -- I called and spoke to BREE (to let her know I could be 15 minutes late), who "found" my "slot" and said that she would "do her best" to get me "in" -- without having to call and make a "New Appointment." When I arrived (about 12 minutes "late") -- MAKIAH assisted me the moment I walked through the door (BREE had given her my message) -- and I was "Beyond Ecstatic" with her friendly demeanor, professionalism, and ability to see the value in my items and offer me "fair" offers. RYLEY -- who was MAKIAH's supervisor also assisted in a couple of instances with expediting the process -- and approving MAKIAH's "offers." All-in-All -- BREE, MAKIAH, and RYLEY made my experience at Crossroads Trading extremely enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Crossroads Trading to anyone who is Looking for a place to help with turning hidden treasure into gold (from your closet) -- but also, for those who are looking for a most unique gift for a family member or loved one. This establishment is truly Magnificent. read more

I sell here and usually they take a lot of my stuff and I get more money here than I do at other places. The girl with long brown hair and had acne wasn't kind at all and had an attitude with me for no reason. I also had an issue with a short Hispanic girl who wasn't friendly either. They definitely need to work on their customer service. read more

Well, this place has gone downhill. First of all the wait was the longest I have ever seen it. I've sold clothes over the years and never had them never take anything. I had clothes and shoes that even had new tags on it. Worst part is I don't even think they went through my clothing. I had some items new with tags and even items I had previously purchased from their store but never wore. I dropped clothing off and just a couple minutes later they called me back up to the front. There's no way they even went through all my clothes in that short period of time. Major disappointment. Don't even waste your time. read more

5 stars great stuff! Great buyers! Amazing selection! Id definitely recommend coming thru Laura and rhyan are the bestest read more

Crossroads Trading - Crossroads costa mesa - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Highly recommend this location! I used to go to the location in echo park but honestly the parking wasn't the best over there and the store is extremely small. In this location they have plenty of parking. The workers here are extremely kind and always greet when you walk into the store. You can see the workers looking through your clothes and genuinely inspecting. Sometimes they might ask other coworkers for opinions which is completely valid and normal. I've been coming to this location for months and they have helped me clear out my closet. I have also done consignments for different items and the process has gotten easier and better! Now they offer Zelle payments for consignments only instead of waiting for a check. I know many people complain about not selling much but they are strict when it comes to seasons and also don't take clothing if ripped, stained or worn out. Which is why shopping here is great because the clothing/accessories are in amazing condition! They also explain to you why some items aren't accepted and if you want a clearer explanation for pricing, etc. they will thoroughly explain everything to you. The wait can get long so I try getting there early whenever I can. But most times I use the app to join the waitlist remotely so by the time I get to the location I'm only waiting a few minutes. Once again highly recommend this store compared to other locations! read more

I always heard amazing things about crossroads but wow. I got only 4 items and each item was tagged $20 or less. So when I went to checkout I assumed the total would be around $80 or $85 MAX. Nope. Not sure HOW but my total came to $100.45. How? Genuinely how? The tags were tagged $20, but with four items (some not even being $20) the total came to $100. Go to goodwill, go to literally any other thrift store. It's a scam and the prices are insane. The customer service was also awful. read more

Always love coming to this location to sell and buy clothes! Mariah and Clare helped me out today and made my experience great as ever. The best Crossroads in OC read more

Staff was friendly. I was hoping to sell some high-end items my husband no longer wears due to weight loss and shoes I can no longer wear due to foot injury. I was offered less than $10 for a $700 Karl Lagerfeld coat my husband never wore. About $5 for a Michael Kors soft as butter leather vest and about $5 for a pair of Coach leather booties all in perfect condition & currently in style. I believe the cash offer for all three was about $26. I understand Santa Monica is slow these days & they likely have a lot of inventory they need to get rid of. Wish they had told me that when I called to ask what was selling & what they were over stocked on. No interest in my Patagonia booties, Ralph Lauren, Coach, Joan & David and Moro (handmade in Spain) high boots- all in excellent condition. No interest in graphic men's tee-shirts- Jimi Hendrix, Beatles, R Crumb, etc. No interest in men's Zegna jackets & sweaters. I used to be a clothes buyer so I know when clothes are hip, classic or not. At the basic $5 a pop price point they are offering sellers for hi-end designer items I can easily get a few bucks more at my own yard sale. I will not be going back there again as it was such an incredible waste of my time. read more

i love this store so much! gabbi was able to help me find and try one everything i needed! Will definitely be coming back soon!!
