    If you want eclectic cool clothes and budget is not your top consideration this is the place!…read more However the words Raks and thrift shop in the same sentence is an oxymoron. the crowd they are catering to are people that can afford to pay top dollar that they are demanding for their stuff. And that crowd can afford to go anywhere for their clothes. The owner has to have a huge markup to pay for that rent in Haddonfield and have enough left over to make it worthwhile. which drives the experience I had below... I tried to consign to them, and found them to be picky and condescending. Out of several pairs of slightly worn designer shoes, in a popular size, no less, (items comparable to what I see they usually have for sale), they were only interested in one of my pairs and told me that wasn't "worth" opening up an account for me. Damn. a mean girls' club! and how much could I expect to make if they found my stuff "worthwhile"? the laws of economics tell me ..not anywhere near fair market value. I learned several important lessons from that experience. I used to enjoy shopping there and I am rethinking ever going back because 1) I felt dissed with the last incident and left a bad taste in my mouth. 2) Since the prices rival what you pay for most if their items new, why not go to a retail store where you are likely to spend just as much money and Where you have more variety in choices and sizes. 3) If you are on a budget, go to real non profit thrift shops-or buy less in new stores. and, What to do with all that stuff you bought in places like this on impulse? donate to Goodwill rather than deal with them. your time, energy and peace of mind is worth more.

    This review is pertaining to my experience consigning with them. I do want to start off by saying…read morethey have a really great selection of inventory and gorgeous pieces, hence the 3 stars. So if you're coming here to shop - go for it! They have great stuff! I have consigned with them twice and I will start with the pros: They're very organized and efficient with settling the balance owed, given that you call them after 60 days which is clearly communicated during the process. My con is the overall experience in store dropping off the items. During my first experience with them I found them to be very standoffish and aloof while sorting through my items, which like whatever.. they're running a business. But I still felt like it was strange considering they accepted the majority of what I brought in. What they didn't want they coldly handed back to me without saying a word and looking at me with a blank stare. Again, whatever. It didn't hurt my feelings that they didn't want some of my stuff I just thought it was... weird. Can't imagine how they treat people who come in with things they don't want at all... gives me a chill to think about. My most recent experience was the same, except this time they literally accepted all but ONE of my items and STILL treated me coldly. Such a bizarre interaction. Overall I can't see myself consigning here again because they are super rude and I find it so off putting. I don't need to subject myself to that lol. At the bare minimum you can be polite, it's not that serious ya'll.

    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.

    Let me start by saying what I wish I knew years ago. THIS IS A GOODWILL STORE!…read more Retrospect is owned by Goodwill. They pull all the vintage items out of their donations and send them here to be up-charged to high heaven even though they acquired all the items for free! Ever wonder why you can't find affordable nice vintage pieces while at Goodwill anymore? It is because they were all sent here! They used to hide the fact that they were a Goodwill store super well, but recently I noticed that their POS system had the Goodwill logo, and when I asked the staff member about it she confirmed exactly what I'm saying. There are many other vintage stores that are curated and sourced all over the city. Support those small businesses who invest in their craft over Goodwill, a large corp that gets all its inventory for free.

    I have been shopping at this place for the better part of a decade if not longer, and it was never…read morethat great but it is really gone to crap. Keep in mind this is nothing more than Goodwill. Literally it's a Goodwill store that they send their potentially more valuable items out too. Everything is always overpriced and I've certainly gotten used to that. I've also had numerous incidents like buying a record that was in the window display and being told. I had to pick it up a month later only to come back to get it and be told they had sold it to someone else, but they refused to give my money back and I had to accept store credit. But I went in today and they literally have a security guard working in the front door and like, I'm done. It's just a wholly unnecessary situation and it makes me feel uncomfortable. We especially don't need a white guy in a security uniform in a city that is more than half black and brown people , it's a freaking Goodwill for fuck's sake. Security guard at Goodwill. No thanks, I'm done.

I found a an obviously fake Chanel wallet, and when I opened it up, they even literally had a price tag inside that said it was counterfeit, yet they were expecting $55 for it. So some slave in Asia probably had to make this shitty knock off so that the store could profit. If that is not the definition of unethical, I don't know what is.

Now $100 poorer as I felt compelled to buy the two slightly overpriced shirts not because I liked them that much or that they were that rare but just to prove to the curly haired worker that I could who was hovering over me the majority of the time I was in the store as if I was planning to steal something . I know Philly has a theft problem but jeez she was a lot and really rude . She literally cut me off when I was expressing my concerns about the contents of my bag which she told me I had to leave outside the dressing room . I have no problem following rules but I don't need to deal with attitude or whatever her problem was . Literally as I was leaving she was telling me where the go back rack was . Seriously the worst experience I've had a clothing store . Avoid at all costs . For what you pay, you might as well go to feminist flea market or other hintage clothing swap event or even look online . Prices and quality are about the same with a better selection but you will be treated with respect .
