I was pleasantly surprised there wasn't that horrible off-gassing smell at similar type places. However, they did have some kind of odd blinky holiday lights that made annoying noises throughout my visit. I toured each aisle and there wasn't anything to my liking but I can see where a new Asian restaurant could completing outfit their establishment with everything they need. It was nice to see they had real plants! I would consider returning for those or maybe some of their pots. Prices were okay, not great. According to many handmade signs, they take shoplifting seriously!

I wanted to see if there is a Kmart near the area so I did a Yelp search for Kmart, this Portland Closeout store popped up. After glancing at Yelp photos, the 20 % off Yelp check in caught my eye, and the funny t-shirts, the ones on their profile pic. I asked my personal Uber driver ( my other half) to take me. You will not miss this place, there is a huge business sign and parking is available on both sides of the lot. I don't know where to begin looking, the store is clutter but it is a good clutter. There are tons and tons of stuff. Its like a one stop shop, Things you need in Chinatown and the flea market combined together. I am pretty sure you will find something you don't need but actually need here. Just like my experience here. I had fun looking around, Lets see this shop is HUGE! There are sandals, shoes, clothing for mens, womens, children, tshirts, hats, make up, hair accessories, phone accessories, even blankets. If you can't find what you are looking for, ask the owner, she is super friendly. I recall her name is Long. I had fun talking to her and she helped me find what I was looking for. As I mentioned I found 2 items that I didn't need but needed. I saw 2 hats , I didn't think I needed it but bought it for my mom and good friend. ( they both love hats!) I came to shop not looking for hats and not needing it but then I am so glad I bought them because my mom and good friend loved the hats. I also bought those funny saying shirts to give away as souvenirs. They are pretty funny! I was able to use my 20 percent Yelp check in and I am so happy to discover a new place in Portland. I noticed the blankets are cheap, they are the really soft blankets which comes in different color, prints, and even comes with a bag. I remember those blankets, during my childhood days my mom used to buy that blanket for us and I remember they cost more than what Portland Closeout sells them for. I am going to buy a blanket next time I visit. After paying for my items, Long mentioned that her husband is at the store across. Note: Portland Closeout is in 2 separate shop. The store is in front where Long's husband manage has all household items for your kitchen, home and garden which includes furniture, plants, even paintings. This store does look clutter as well, but its a good clutter!! I noticed children's bicycles out in front. This store has EVERYTHING!! Overall, I love how I discovered this place and I enjoyed my shopping experience here. I will be back. If you just moved to Portland, Please check out Portland Closeout, I guarantee you will find products for your new place and you can thank me later!! #101/100/2017

We happen on it while eating next door at the newer Filipino place (former home of the German sausage place). Place seems to have a variety of stuff ranging from shirts, some no perishable food, and some books. Mostly what is in here is garden and yard supply stuff. I think it would be a good first stop if you need a shovel or garden supplies. Might as well start at the lowest price and if not found move on to another store. What makes this place great is the owners who are fun to chat with, helpful and overall nice people. A good business worthy of support.

I was really looking forward to attending an estate sale this company was running, but it…read moreunfortunately ended up being the least professional sale I have ever experienced. I have never had a business be as cavalier with my time as Family Affair Estate Sales was today. Like most I first found out about the sale through Instagram, and clicked through to their website where there was an indication that you should text them ahead of time if you plan on arriving at the opening time. I did so, assuming that this was for a headcount, or some sort of list at the door (eg. they can only handle so much volume on a weekday and want to make a guest list, so you give your name at the door when you arrive). It was not fully clear on their website exactly what this text was used for, but I was happy to comply and excited to attend. I'm no newbie to the estate sale game, so I showed up a few hours early to wait for entry, bags in hand and cash in tow. I was among the first to arrive, just before 7 am--it was pouring rain but I was happy to stick it out as I had my eye on a particular item. After about an hour, the organizers showed up. A half hour after that, the woman who seemed to be running the show proceeded to inform us that they would start reorganizing the line in the order of which people texted. By this time, there were well over 50 people waiting in line behind me. Everyone we spoke to in line was confused and not aware that this is how the sale would be run. Obviously, no one that was standing in the line would have arrived hours early to stand in the rain if we had known this. When those of us up front kindly tried to explain that there was a misunderstanding to the woman organizing it and asked if there was any way she could come up with an alternative--maybe you alternate entry by one text list person in, one physical line person in?--she said that how it works was clearly stated and walked away. As someone who also runs a small business I understand having policies (and clients misinterpreting those policies), but if that many customers are confused by your policy, it is not in fact clearly stated, even if you think it is. Perhaps there should be some larger disclaimer on the sale listing on their website that it does not matter if you arrive early or not? The organizer did not seem open to any feedback and just insisted "this is how it works", and frankly seemed frustrated that we were bothering her with questions. The worst part of it all is that when the organizer did start lining people up in order of texts received, she was clearly completely unprepared. No speaker or megaphone to cut through the noise of the crowd, no full names, and she kept losing her place in line--it was total chaos. She also told us that she got so many texts that she stopped counting names after the first few hundred, which begs the question as to why they are so insistent on sticking with this arbitrary system. What exactly was the plan if she reached the end of the list and there were still people who are not in order/unaccounted for? Some other reviewers expressed frustration that they believe this company uses the text message queue system to give preferential access to their top buyers. To be clear, I have no problem with this--I run a business that also thrives from repeat customers, and I understand wanting to give them advanced access and perks. I'm well aware that small businesses--especially in the estate and resale world--run on existing relationships. What I do have a problem with is how poorly this company explained their system to newcomers, and their inability to problem solve when it became clear that there was a misunderstanding with a very large amount of people. Perhaps the company could have texted people their number in line prior to the sale starting so that it was clear exactly how their system operated. And if the volume was more than they could handle, maybe it is time to get creative and pivot a bit, even if just for a day. It was beyond insulting to be treated so dismissively after taking time out of my schedule to wait for hours in the pouring rain. The sale was supposed to open at 9, but we left at 9:45--they were still calling out names and had not even let anyone into the sale yet. Almost three hours of my life wasted to stand in the rain and leave empty handed, soaking wet, and treated poorly. Be warned of this unusual system if you plan to attend any estate sales run by them, or better yet, just avoid them altogether.

The quality of the product exceeded expectations and we look forward to many years of use and relaxation. We have been living in Portland for five years and wish we had found City Liquidators sooner. We have a small craftsman cottage with limited space and David really helped us pick the right furniture for our space. If you live in a larger house the choices are endless. Not just furniture but antique bars, neon lights, classic oversized film and music posters and artwork. You can get a lifesize Harley Quinn or John Wayne wooden statue, credenza's or wardrobes along with any kitchen supplies and small appliances you might need. New and vintage choices abound. When you go plan accordingly as there are multiple floors of merchandise to choose from and free lollipops for the kids to keep them busy. Even if you don't buy anything, the first trip you'll be blown away by the selection and you'll definitely come back to get something unique the next time. That's what we did. Also, and most importantly, no pressure from the sales staff. They let you wander around and really look over anything you'd like. As I like to say you don't get the hard sell on the soft couch. Have fun.

If I were to create a list of my favorite stores in Portland, Better Bargains is one that I would deliberate intensely on whether or not I should add it to the list. It's one of those hit or miss places that has potential for finding the bargain of the century. Don't visit during peak traffic because the business is on a section of Sandy that is impossible during rush hour. The parking lot is directly across from the intersection of 102nd and Sandy, and traffic backs up such that it blocks the entrance. You'll hate your life if you get trapped in this vortex of parking hell. The store has several aisles of furniture stacked high with assorted bits and pieces, and the east and west walls are covered with a patchwork of bagged treasures that are preassembled and priced accordingly. If you are big into art and craft projects, I've found some of these curated bags to be useful. It's best to visit the store on Wednesdays and Saturdays when a 25% storewide discount is applied toward all purchases. For me, the jury is still out on this thrift shop because I've yet to find a treasure I want to show off to all my friends. Maybe one day!
