The answer was, " There is an outlet, please try it." Or "If it doesn't, bring it back we will give you credit for it. No refunds." This is by far the WORST thrift store in over 1000 miles! It is a for profit store. The help is paid. No appliances, lamps and electric items are not tested. They offer an outlet, but if it doesn't work at home there is no exchange, no credit, just a point at the sign "All sales final." I am sorry, every business should have a customer service. Listen to your customers and come to an agreement. Not just a sign, ALL SALES FINAL. Discussion Over! So as I was ending this review, a comment underneath is this statement... This review is looking pretty epic! Nice. Funny, I truly wanted this to be a happy ending. But that wasn't it!!!

I discovered the Opp shop while doing a thrift google search of the area. Little did I know it was…read moreliterally right down the street from a Goodwill I've been to twice. How convenient! It's located in a deserted, large shopping complex with the anchor store vacant. The lot is expansive and this store is on the end next to the large vacant property. For that reason I would be leery of going at night alone. Otherwise approaching I could see it was a store with a substantial amount of real estate. Furniture pieces were visible thru the window. I couldn't wait to get inside to explore. Is it the cleanest, most organized store? You can literally see dust balls float across the floor. No...but its full of vintage items as well as pickers. How do I know? You can witness them on the sales floor doing pricing research on their phones while holding tight to an item. I would guess that the majority of the customers were resellers. For that reason, if you see something you like, whether you think it's valuable or just valuable to you grab it. Take a look at that complete set of vintage mushroom canisters I came across. I know they are a highly desirable collectable. I left them for someone else to discover and enjoy. What I would consider highlights for this store is the furniture pieces. Large, small, new and old, like antique old (see pic). The large solid wood wall unit was complete with shelving and lighting and priced at only $299. I'm sure it was a few thousand new. If you dabble in decorative painting and furniture upcycling like I do you'll want to add this store to your thrifting stops. Housewares and decorative items were plenty and arranged better than some departments. I scored some great pieces in this dept that have been on my "thrift wish list "for some time. Toys, crafts, and misc were a huge mess, with piles on the shelves and on the floor without any consideration to order. Prices are very affordable, only a step above yard sale for most items. Linens were stocked well and included a lot of vintage and handmade pieces like crocheted afghans. Clothing was a miss for me. Although I did see they have dressing room the department was so full and clustered together I didn't feel like routing. Shoes I felt were priced high, one price depending on item (see pic) without consideration to brand or condition. DVD's were labeled as half off, but I didn't see a price for comparison. The book department was large and popular. On the day I was there they were constantly adding new items, including furniture pieces, and the pickers were standing ready. This store is part of the Opportunity House, a non profit that offers social services to disadvantaged families, a mission I truly support. The employees were all nice, especially the young man at the register, who provided me with a loyalty card - get it hole punched for each purchase. So while this might not be the best looking or best kept store, it's a great place to hunt for vintage and current items on the cheap.

11/18/23 you'ld swear you were in a top end boutique- but for the prices- they're oh soooo good!!!…read moreMy friend found something here - a beautiful sweater for 6 bucks and change. I wasn't in the market for clothes but I sure enjoyed browsing the merchandise. This store keeper was very welcoming and explained how the pricing worked. Anything with just a Denison tag you refer to the price list on the wall, any other items have prices listed on them. The prices were amazing, the merchandise appears to be never worn or barely worn. Everything was organized on hangers. There were blingy dresses, regular dresses, cardigans, winter coats, blouses, scarves, jewelry etc. there was a very small section of makeup- unused and in pristine condition everything from ELF, to Tarte, to Fenty Beauty. I would definitely stop in again next time I'm in the area. Every shop keeper was friendly and welcoming during my encounter to the quaint charming town of Hamburg and a big THANK YOU to my friend Maria who explored the town first and gave me awesome suggestions!!

While camping recently I ventured to downtown Hamburg to check out the antique and thrift scene…read more New Life was located on a busy street in what appeared to be the shopping district of town. Various small businesses and antique stores lined the street. The store itself was small but set up nicely and had an upscale boutique feeling. I was a bit surprised to find out they ONLY carry ladies fashion, shoes, and accessories. The cashier explained it's due to lack of space and not lack of donations. I believe the items belonging to other departments go to one of their larger stores. All the proceeds help local charities, and that rotates. There's a sign by the cashier that lets you know presently what organization your purchase is helping. Walking around it was hard to believe everything was second hand and donated. Everything was current, pressed, organized well, and of good quality and brands. Prices were fair to high for a thrift store, but their sorting and organizing process was on point. The small shop had nice displays, the cashier very friendly and a dressing room was present. 2 hour on street parking was available, and I didn't see any meters. It's located across and beside two antique stores. If you're looking for better brands this is your spot. I saw a really nice Coach purse for $49, that's a bit pricey for me, and I don't care much about labels, but this would be a steal for someone else. I didn't buy anything but glad to have stopped in and enjoyed my chat with the cashier. I would stop again if I was in the area.

Though I no longer actively collect -- I've downsized since selling my house -- I still look at items that interest me and rarely pass up a deal. Mad Hatter has beautiful pottery. (I've collected Hull and Roseville for 35+ years.) Several booths specialize in kitschy mid-century items which I find fun. I debated about purchasing the snack bowls I photographed, which my mom had in the 1950s. (Decided against it. Nostalgia didn't win out this time.) You can breeze through the mall or spend hours looking. Parking is easy, the staff is helpful and as said, if you're looking to build a collection, Mad Hatter is worth a visit.

Found a jacket in the no tag section where prices go based off the sign. The jacket was clearly…read moresecond hand with some staining, which I was fine with because it fit and was going to be an outdoors coat. At the check out, the lady tells me that this coat "should have" a tag because it's Columbia brand, and that it would be $4 more than what the sign was BECAUSE they up-charge for Columbia. She asked if that was okay, and told her that the sign said $8 for jackets. She then proceeded to say "it's okay not to buy it". Maybe $4 is not a lot to the average person, but it is a lot to most people going to thrift stores, including myself. You got the item for free and I'm coming to a thrift store because I can't afford to buy retail as a student... I ended up not buying because of that increase in price. Again, the jacket was in no means "good condition", it just fit and I needed a jacket. It's unprofessional to up-charge a worn item at the cash register just because you THINK it should be more.
