Yes, some things are "I know what I got" ridiculous pricing, but if you search, there are actually some wonderful antique finds and collectibles at fair, honest pricing. I'm a bibliophile and have found some beautiful leatherbound hardback books here, as well as a bell creamer from the UK, and a hat from a famous New Orleans milliner. But every time we're at our Maggie Valley property, it's seemingly closed.

My next project was to rebuild an antique corner cabinet and I found some old shelving at Big Red Barn that was perfect for the project. We have purchased a new home in Maggie Valley and Terry purchased a table and chairs that we no longer wanted. He gave me a fair price for the items and we both made out on the deal. I like to refurbish antiques and collectibles so the place really fits the bill for me. I have also rented a U haul from there and the service was excellent. My kind of place.

I won't make excuses, however will say that we take our volunteer jobs seriously, and even more so the Habitat mission. She is most likely right that our prices on housewares and other small things do vary. Not our intent, and if you think something might be mispriced or much more than a similar item, let us know! We have been in the new store since the end of March 2015. We are still getting settled and welcome new volunteers either at the store or the building site. Come join us! I love being a volunteer at the ReStore! Great mission and great people!

It doesn't have the thrift feel very much at all. It has very nice clothing, shoes, and accessories. A back room with housewares and linens, books, games, seasonal, and small appliances.

The entire setup is very well organized and neat. I recommend this location. They also have a "punch card" for frequent buyers. Come check them out for sure! *I don't not think that they have public restrooms

I essentially lived in a bubble during this pandemic. It is weird getting back in the saddle. When…read moreI see a person with a mask, I wonder if they are vaccinated or extra saintly. I fight down a panic and try to not feel numb. For me, thrift stores are an antidote. This thrift store has been rearranged. It is bigger now. More space to move. Clothing was hung by color or print. Most stuff is arranged in certain categories and labeled. Small, framed pictures were hard to get to. Scarfs were overflowing. You have to put in an effort in some areas still, but overall, the makeover of this shop is a great improvement. There is even a unisex bathroom now! However, the sink was not working. Not ideal, pandemic or no pandemic. No no if you have to go go. The dressing rooms were not open. Not sure why. Rampant theft of six-year-old Old Navy blouses, or just HCM trying not to entice people to share small spaces with abated breaths. The reason that I removed one star is because one of the cashiers is INCREASING THE PRICES AT HER DISCRETION. Her doing that is immoral and may even be unlawful. I let her get away with it with the book I was buying. The price had been reduced by half, but she added a quarter. However, just about twenty minutes ago, my daughter told me that the cashier did the same with her craft items. I know that HCM has to fix the sink, but I draw the line at scamming a kid. I feel good that by us shopping here, we are supporting people in times of crises. But I don't have to support a con. I will return when I can clean my hands and HCM cleans their souls.

The overall size of the shop is smaller than my local Salvation Army but you could get some main necessities here. Not nearly as many household or knickknack items. The ladies there were nice as well. I wish I could have gotten more pictures inside but forgot. I will say it was well organized which is always a plus!

Prices are good, and household prices are great! A lot of shoes and purses available also. They have a dressing room. They have carts and baskets available and the since the store reset it is now easily navigated and well organized. I've seen prom dresses, men's suits, wedding dresses, new items, jewelry, holiday decor etc etc.

I find it hard to resist Goodwills, even with sassy ladies working there. However, I do not feel…read morefully comfortable at this one anymore. There was a weird energy in the air. An elderly pilferer had just left, and that constituted high drama to some. The cashier that I had mentioned in my last update was spending time on the floor with a fellow employee. I strained to hear their low conversation, and a young man strained his body toward this cashier, imploring her for help. An older woman, would could not bear the strain of waiting in line, went back to browsing, and I got in line, which lines up towards the side-left. The cashier came back. She chatted with the older woman, who was approaching the register with an item. The chatting was comfortable, so I knew that the cashier and this older woman were familiar with each other. The older woman decided that I was not in line and got directly behind another woman at the register, which any Goodwill devotee knows is a faux pas. The line consists of side-to-side people. There is no room to get directly behind others in this Goodwill, as one would block a main thoroughfare to Corelle dishes. Last year, a woman asked if she could butt in front of me at this Goodwill. I relented out of weakness. Her husband was waiting. I wanted to tell her that so was mine. My husband lost it when he wondered what had taken me so long. Hers didn't. I am a crazy person magnet. If you got Squeaky Fromme, Andrew Wakefield, and a descendent of Josef Mengele in the same room with me, they would be telling me their life stories while ignoring any concept of time, space, or manners. Somehow, they sense my inner rube and descend. My husband cringes and sighs. So, of course, this older woman asked to butt in front of me. I, of course relented, because her time and narcissism are important to her, and I do not want to make waves. This woman felt that because she was actually in line before me- but then left the line- that that entitled her to go before me. This angered my husband, and he was making light comments in disbelief. Then it gets even more uncomfortable. The cashier actually asked my husband what he was commenting about, which can be seen as aggressive. I think that her heart was in the right place, but it was if she was almost daring us to say that the older woman- her friend- was rude to butt in front of us. I felt conflicted, because on the one hand the cashier was saying that I was nice to let the woman go ahead of me, but on the other hand she was saying that people that have the gall to ask to butt in front of you deserve a high five. Later that same day, we got falsely accused of butting, had to fight off another butter, and then I accidentally butted in front of a woman*. Life is the butt of the joke. *Please see my update on the Waynesville Ingles for more high jinks. I did not realize I was butting in front of someone at the health department, as I was elated due to defying anti-moms and due to imminent disease defiance in defiant children.

Unfortunately, late in 2017, the store was closed for remodeling, and when they re-opened, I was stunned to see that virtually nothing had changed with regard to the interior. Clothing racks were moved, and that was about the extent of the retail overhaul. Most unfortunately, the prices went up. WAY UP! I guess the only remodeling was to their price tags? When you visit a thrift store, you are being thrifty - bargain hunting. This store now asks upscale consignment prices for donated items, and that sucked the fun out of thrifting at this location, for me.
