This thrift store is deceptive in how small it appears to be. When you go into the store, you think…read moreit is small. Then you discover that there is an entire basement of inventory to wade through. Make sure you have enough time to spend in the basement since it is a treasure trove for many collectors!
Upstairs there are the usual thrift store finds: clothing, shoes, brick a brack, glassware, cds, dvds, toys, books, and the rest of the usual items. The store is neat and well organized, and the woman in charge, whose name I think is Deidre, is very nice and helpful.
The store doesn't have a dressing room to try clothing on, but the woman in charge let me use the bathroom to try on a pair of jeans.
Going downstairs, I first saw kitchen glassware and kitchen items and electronics. Then I discovered the rest of the wonderful finds to be found: Star Trek and Star Wars figurines, movie lobby cards, Monster magazines, Star Trek Magazines, Mad Magazines, and other assorted magazine titles, tons of cds, tons of dvds, and tons of records. {The magazines sell for $3.00 each; the cds sell for $1.00 each, and the dvds sell for $3.00 each with an incentive to buy four for$10.00. I don't remember the price of records.} There were also many hardcover books, including coffee table type books, selling for $3.00 each. I found the prices on these items to be very fair.
I also saw toys and other types of collectible that will interest many. In some ways the basement is similar to the old now defunct store on Second Avenue in Manahttan called Love Saves the Day. It was the store that was seen in the 1985 Madonna movie Desperately Seeking Susan.
When I went yesterday, the basement had some sections to it that were impossible to get to in order to browse, so be prepared to spend time trying to find ways to get into a aisle or to a shelf. However, the time spent is worth it. Matt, who runs the basement, wasn't there, but the basement was still open for shoppers.
So, this is a store I will return to once again. However, I know I will need to spend more time in that basement!
