Great selection for someone who is plus sized like myself. I was pleasantly surprised when I was…read moreable to find a bathing suit last minute in my size (I am 2X, or 20-22 dress size wise) I got a lot of clothes for cheap and overall I was very happy with my purchases!

I have been wanting to go here for a long time. I finally made it there today and took a friend…read morewith me. Unfortunately, neither of us thought the prices were very good (example "used" flower vases for $6 and higher) I asked one owner if the prices were negotiable and, in a rude and sarcastic manner, he said he'd need to ask his landlord. Not a good attitude to new customers and potential sales. His unwillingness to negotiate lost him, not only that sale, but future potential sales as I will not be returning. Also, there were a lot of stained clothes. When I mentioned it to the other owner, she said everything had been washed. Well, washed doesn't mean all the stains came out. I can only assume those stained clothes were not negotiable either. Note to owners: It's bad business to be rude to your customers!!! Live and learn, I guess.

I had such a great time at The Shoppes at Royall! The selection was extensive and thoughtfully…read morecurated--there was truly something for everyone. Each booth was clean, well-organized, and fun to explore. The entire space felt inviting, and the staff were incredibly sweet and helpful. You can tell they take pride in the store and care about the customer experience. I'll definitely be back soon--this is a must-visit spot if you love antiques or just enjoy a good treasure hunt! I also feel like the prices were not too high and they often do events with discounts on booths.

This store is such a hidden gem! Really nice things that are well curated and at a fair price and…read morethe owner and her mum were super friendly. When I stopped in they had a good assortment of side tables, lamps, porcelain dishes and vases, lots of Norman Rockwell water glasses and paintings, British snacks and teas, jewelry, and vintage clothing. I would go out of my way to visit this shop knowing the owner has a good eye for interesting and unique items. Highly recommend a visit!

They have a large variety of clothes from high dollar brands and the pricing is so fun- Everything is marked with an initial price and then after each month it is unsold goes down about 20% with the lower price also there on the tag.

Super lowball offers, half working items at full retail or even more, management who sleeps like babies after robbing an old or desperate person blind. Just dont bother. You wont find anything and you wont get any money. Raleigh, Wilson, New Bern, Eden. No Im not just listing towns in NC, Thats all the places trade it has attempted to do business in and didnt last very long or was run out of town. They proudly say they are the best 2nd hand shop in Goldsboro. If you live here you know that doesn't mean much. Again just don't even bother its not even worth turn your steering wheel to turn in if youre passing by. IF you do decide to sell to this sorry excuse of a business DO NOT let them pull the double team "second opinion" tactic. If you don't agree with what the buyer says they go ok lets get a 2nd opinion they then go in the back for a good few minutes then another employee comes out and they act like they are gonna give you a fair shake...they dont. They were back there whispering for several minutes to get stories straight and telling the other guy who comes out what to say. The place is immoral and shady built into the core. UPDATE 12/01/2022: They still refuse to apologize for saying myself, my wife and the items I brought in smelled like a dirty litter box. I took my high end headphones to a resell shop in Cary. I mentioned the story to them and they said the items nor you smell like a dirty litter box. So another trade it lie what a shock. In fact the business I took the headphones to was thrilled to see high end headphones and asked to buy the rest of my vintage headphones. Another business wouldn't offer to buy more if we stunk. I'll be reporting to bbb at minimum. They pulled this "tactic" in the buy area that was full of people. My wife was in tears in the car. They could have simply said not interested or we don't want to do business with you.

So unorganized... and why would they price shoes at $47 freaking dollars? 2 pairs of Nikes both…read morepriced at $47 each... yes, decent shape but you can get a new pair at the Nike Outlet for about that ......The main manager has always been rude... . There was a certain electronic piece of equipment I was interested in, but of course they don't know if it works and it didn't have a charger. I know the ridiculous no-return policy but I asked one of the managers if I could get a better deal because they couldn't tell me if it really worked. This was about 15 minutes after I heard another customer ask about a discount and she gladly gave him one, saying, "I'm going to need your friend today", but when she came to the resgister for my request, all of the sudden is , "we don't do discounts". I told her that I just heard her give another customer a discount and she became very defensive saying "that was a different situation ". So then, why LIE to my face. And lastly.. FIX YOUR AC gotta be 85 degrees in there , people walking around just sweating in there! ... if you're selling used shoes for $50 then you should have plenty of $ to make your customers comfortable I have lived all over being a military wife.... never seen this "bin" system. Other states' Goodwills that I have shopped at are organized, have a return policy, have at least 1 day out of the week for military discounts (also days tor senior citzens and teachers discounts), and treat all their customers well... wth wrong with this one. I would highly recommend donating your items to the Fordham House where people can get things they need for free. I just donated 3 large bags to them

I visit goodwill stores regularly but I have found the GCF in Kinston and Goldsboro have very old…read moreclothes and hardly any new like pieces. I don't believe it's because the donations are slow, I think it's because they don't have a rotation system of clothing with price decreases. Other Goodwills use color tags and eventually the clothing rotates to 1/2 price. That way the clothes are always rotating. If there is a blouse that is $4 today even if the blouse is 20 years old, it will eventually leave the store because the buyer will not mind paying half price for a 20 year old top. However, because GCF prices are static (not reduced), the old clothes remain longer, eventually offering an old smell to the store and the rest is history. A top that is 25 years old will cost $3.99 and a top that is newer will cost the same. The older tops "will remain" the longest unless vintage clients shop more. The GCF management decision makers aren't marketeers apparently but may be stuck in the 70s market strategies. However, it is learned from many stores who listened to paradigms ( an example or pattern, a model) fail to fall into the pattern of disaster or collapse. However,Sears, fell into collapse. They continue to have clothing for one market(older crowd) which eventually was replaced with online shopping but the young crowd was still shopping. When younger people saw the clothing they went elsewhere. The patten is sell to the customers not sell "FOR " the customers. GCF sells beat up shoes,tattered handbags, the men's suits are ancient and the shelves are full of junk knickknacks. Like Sears, they think people will continue to buy clothes sitting on their racks for months upon months. There is a worldview of methodologies how thrift stores thrive and are successful. It would behoove GCF to review some of these systems. I will continue to find thrift stores that relinquished old and smelly clothing to the trash or discount them. I have even heard of stores having complete 1/2 price days just to get rid of static old items.. I am sure quilters would love that day..
