    Okay, I'll be the first to review this Salvation Army location. Yay!…read more Came here recently with the girlfriend on our way up to Buffalo. Had very little time to stop and putz around as we had plans THAT evening. But I said you know what? There could be some really great finds at this thrift store. So... I decided to completely throw off our entire itinerary and ruin our evening by blowing at least an hour and a half rummaging through musty second-hand clothing in a strange town we'd never heard of before. And I'm pretty glad I did. Upon walking in there was a pretty cluttered, haphazard housewares/general merch section with a lot of old suitcases and stuff that was luring me in pretty hard. Good selection of old sunglasses and there was an old, cheesy looking watch I wanted but it didn't work and I didn't feel like fussing with it. Book selection was okay. The clothing selection was kinda slim pickin's, but I did find a pretty old, worn out-looking red button-down shirt and they did have a bunch of marching band uniforms, which I wavered over for quite a while (in fact, that was probably what took up the bulk of my time there). In the end, I passed on the uniforms but did buy a couple of Mantovani LPs which were in okay condition and a 1990s Casio keyboard which doesn't work, and will probably sit in the trunk of my car for the next five years. Oh, and my girlfriend and I were officially broken up all the way from Elmira until about twenty minutes outside of Buffalo because she was pretty pissed. P.S. Totally started to regret not buying one of the marching band uniforms about ten minutes after we left. Live and learn.

    Wow, what a huge store! There were so many rows of clothes, I could hardly believe it. I was on…read morethe hunt for jigsaw puzzles once again, and I surprisingly found their deals to be VERY good! .99 and 1.99 for 1000 pieces. Definitely worth it! The service wasn't as great as I would have liked. They had multiple people trying to deal with one customer while a large line formed at the check out.

    Can I give this 10 stars? I LOVE this place…read more It starts with the staff. Such friendly, warm and just plain enjoyable people- you can't help but smile when they talk to you. The owner, Deb, knows nearly all of her customers by name and makes me feel so welcomed every time I walk in the door. Deb offers a great selection of second hand clothes for women from juniors to plus size. The clothes and shoes are used, but you would never know as she only stocks the best. There is such a variety of clothing, you WILL find what you are looking for (and several things you didn't know you wanted). The selection changes constantly, but is never overwhelming. It is just the perfect amount of options to explore. Now, lets talk price. From the $2 rack (yes, you read that right TWO dollars- which is kept well stocked and rotated, AND provides donations to a local animal fostering organization), $5-$10 jewelry, to the $12 shoes, a person can build an entire outfit with less than $20. Do yourself a favor, take $30 and 45 minutes, and treat yourself to a fantastic shopping experience. You will not be disappointed. (And there is a monthly raffle if you spend a certain amount)

    From the owner: This is a Women's Consignment clothing store that sells brand names such as; Talbots, Calvin Klein,…read moreJones of NY, Chicos, and Coldwater Creek for a reasonable cost. Prices range from $7-$22 depending on the item. Sizes range from Junior's to Plus. What makes Wit's End different is the organization, spaciousness , and the welcoming atmosphere.

    I like to wander around consignment, vintage, estate, antique shops. This business has so many…read moreamazing items! When we first walked in, I though it was a tiny little shop of knick knacks, post cards and toys. Boy was I wrong. There is a huge room behing that is filled with linens, cast iron pans, tea pots, fishing/hunting items, tools, cookie jars, hats, lunch boxes, kitchen utensils, and on and on. Beautiful crystal, decanters, pitchers, wall art, nursery items, pyrex, lamps. OK, you get the idea. The owner is an absolute doll. She told me to open drawers and look inside things because there was stuff everywhere. :D She also let us know there is a warehouse of items that are too large to fit in the store, like furniture and lawmowers and such. Maybe give them call if you are looking for something in particular to see if they have it available. From what I see in store, and what they seem to have elsewhere, they just may have what you need. Even if they don't have it, they can 'keep an eye open' for it when they are out on their buying trips. We did end up purchasing a few items. That's a few more than I planned. There is a gravel parking lot on the side of the building with a path leading from the lot to the entrance. The prices are good. If you are looking for something specific (set of dishes, a collectible, a ceiling light) or just like to wander, you should definitely stop in. Those little hand made aprons are adorable, and that 'Cow jumped over the Moon' lamp - perfect.

    I DO NOT RECOMMENED,CROOKs IMO, who take advantage of our vulnerable elderly…read more not only did they steal items & they spoke VERY disrespectfully, they broke items when they come out to see her items, (showed up with 4 ppl which caused her to be extremely overwhelmed and bombarded) She didn't even have time to process fully what was happening. ( they wouldnt even allow her to unwrap her items and see what they were taking )they were extremely careless with my mother's possessions (that they didnt take). made awful comments that they don't pay for memories. they're lucky I was not out there or I would have sent him packing. The $200 they gave her was an insult to say the least, for probably 5 to 10+ grand worth of items. they took, paid less than pennies on the dollar. I will NEVER do business with them and they ought to be ashamed of themselves. idk how they even sleep at night ripping off our community.
