I received an email approving the donation and giving me a date and pickup window. I wasted an entire day waiting for their haulers who were a NO SHOW. Next day I was finally able to get a live person to speak with at Restore and was told they sent me an email (same day I was waiting for the hauler) stating that the table was too worn for donation. I then proceeded to pay a private hauler who had already hauled a few items for me to return to my home and pick up the table. DO NOT TRUST RESTORE for pick-up-they approve the donation BEFORE evaluating your items. This was a time consuming and costly mistake. I will NEVER deal with them again.

With the pandemic, I don't know if this event runs any more…read more My friend V. loves thrift shops and what she calls 'treasure hunting.' Having grown up poor and being forced to wear way too big, tooth achingly ugly winter coats from Goodwill that I'd 'grow into,' hideous polyester button down shirts that a pimp wouldn't touch, scratchy, pill-y wool sweaters reeking of camphor, high water generic blue jeans and summer shorts I would not put on a dog in a clown show, I assiduously avoid things like this. V. was insistent that I would 'go wild' over this flea market because 'it won't be like anything else you've ever been to!!!' I had my doubts about that but you make concessions for friends. We paid our $3 entrance fee and strolled around. Most of the vendor tables had things that were of no interest to me; old playing cards, glassware that was (presumably) collectible, vintage tattoo flash, old silver plate and older, tarnished sterling silver tableware, racks of *shudder* vintage clothing and shoes, most of which had seen better days. There were some well curated tables of antique jewelry and antique beaded bags at very non-bargain prices and a few tables of what I can only call culled pieces from cabinets of curiosities-moth eaten taxidermied items and non-p.c. tourist trash. For the most part, the vendors we encountered were bored seeming or down right rude. The people watching was far better than anything for sale. After 2 hours here, V. bought a very large, ornate dusty rose colored tassel. I asked what she planned to do with it. Her response? 'Do you want it, Warren?' Uhh-that would be NO. I bought nothing. V. wanted to take another spin around the place so I opted to go out to her car to sit and read, telling her to take her time. Another 2 hours passed. She returned empty handed, other than the tassel, to the car. Would I go back? Nope. Should you go if the flea market opens again? It's $3 and maybe an hour or 2 out of your life. You could spend that time and money in worse ways.

The experience made me love Philly all the more. Where else can you find funky craftspeople with interesting goods to offer? There's been a lot of commotion because of overcrowding at previous PRFMs, but this weekend seemed to flow rather smoothly. Sure it was hot, but never felt like I was stuffed in a hairy man's armpit. That's saying a lot. Looks like times are really tough for some folks out there. I saw a guy walk out with a brand new Nintendo DS with games for $30. I gave my friend $5 to scour the floor and buy me a present. She came back with a caricature of my dog. Best gift ever. If you missed out on this weekend's sale, make sure you check out the next one. It's the perfect place to find cheap and random gifts for friends.

I was only coming in to look to see if there were any tools for sale. Within five minutes of being told, the store is closing in 20 minutes, the same woman came up to me, and I had nothing in my hands, and says to me you need to go get in line now... I paused, pointed at my chest and said "are you talking to me?" She said no I'm just talking to everybody. You need to go get in line so you could check out. The rest of the people in the store were herded toward the cash register. My total time inside of the store? Less than nine minutes, and pushed out the door, and I'm writing this review at 5:37 PM. Just thought that upper management should know what it looks like going into the store.

When I arrived, no one really greeted me or asked me for assistance, so I just took note of that and moved on. What I actually really liked what the men's selection here. I thrift quite a bit and it's honestly rare to find a decent breadth of Men's thrifted clothing. This store had probably the most vast men's section I've seen at a thrift. It took up one side of the store. What I've found is every thrift store has somewhat of an identity. This one is hard to pinpoint, but I have to say, it is not the hipster domain that some secondhand stores have become. This store felt more like a place people just looking for some deals turn up to. It was actually really refreshing. That in mind, I found the selection of vintage pieces here to be slightly above average. I even found a very rare band tee (that I plan on flipping). I was shocked at how great this place was for the unique vintage I love, but I think that largely has to do with it being more of a place frequented by community and not a hotbed for those millenials and Gen Z-ers just now on the thrift wave.

I like that their clothing is well organized by color - so if you are looking for a specific look, it's really easy for me to quickly look and get in and get out. As a performer, I've been able to find many pieces here which has been awesome. I even got super lucky and found Moxi Skates that were my size for $60! My husband bought a nice pair of khaki pants for $6. I'm all about reusing, reducing waste, and recycling so thrifting is my fave. However, I really dislike wasting time at disorganized spots. Circle is organized, staff are friendly, and they even take Venmo payments. I would definitely recommend to check it out and donate here

As an XS person, it is very hard to find decent clothes of this size in thrift stores, and I am very happy that this is not the case here! Clothing is organized by category and then by size. They also carry footwear and bags. And some accessories. I've found brands from Brandy Melville to Anthropologie. I prefer finding clothes here compared to Circle Thrift a bit further down as their styles, sizes, and quality are more appealing to me. (Though I love and frequent both.) Marsha and Tia are definitely one of the most personable peeps in Philly and brighten my day whenever I see them here. *They also have a front-store selection of more avant-garde and/or contemporary/vintage items at regular price.

You can't miss the HUGE colorful mural on the outside in the parking lot, but the RE itself is on the right side. Conveniently located by a 3 bus stop as well. I was in the market for some postcards and other papercraft supplies and brought some scrapbook paper I knew I wouldn't use with me to donate as well. The staff was very nice and organized. After seeing the true breadth of all of the various materials sold at the RE, I will definitely bring more miscellaneous craft stuff with me to donate next time. Have to make room for new stuff! I was able to purchase some postcards (they were 50 cents each or 3 for $1), a container to hold some of my other materials, and a set of Dublin stickers, all for $15 flat. Cannot stress enough how AFFORDABLE stuff is. In general I would say go in to look around and not want anything too specific, especially on a busy day like a Saturday, because it was a bit crowded. But they had materials truly for all typees of crafts: fabric, knitting, sewing, painting, papercrafts, jewelry, woodworking... as well as larger materials. Really affordable and hope to get the word out about this place! There are two gender-neutral restrooms located in the lobby of the building as well as part of the shared space.
