Don't even wanna know who owns the place. They don't take care of the Homeless community. I am a witness. I was homeless for a year! Selection is WAY TOO MUCH! I would leave half that crap outside so the homeless can just take whatever they want. I would probably go ahead and get rid of the building. There are beautiful train tracks right behind it that need to be seen! Plus I think Canadian Geese or some sort of birds want to live in that parking lot. The value??? I wouldn't even touch ONE item in that store (except I did see an overpriced Bath & Body Works candle I would never spend that much money on a candle. I mean I have before when I was in love. But never again! Ohio is NUTZ! no wonder it's called the Buckeye State!

These folks are really friendly and if you ask for help, they're right there for you. The store is well laid out, bright and clean. I almost always find something here. The selection is great and they are always bringing out new items. Prices are just fine, 25%, 50%, 75% off.....can't beat it. *** If you have mobility problems are are looking for kids or men's items, beware. The store used to be a Montgomery Ward or JC Penney back in the 50's. There are two floors and you have to use the stairs to get up there.

I always leave with something in my hands no matter the day I go in. There are true gems to find here, my favorite items to look at are the Knick knacks and jewelry. The prices are extremely inexpensive on top of that. The only "down" side about this place is that there is a minimum spending with card use at checkout but like I said I always find something so this has never been an issue for me. This is one of my favorite thrift spots in the Columbus area & trust me I've been to a lot.

I went in a week later and all the snacks/food they had were the same again. I have worked at the Ohio thrift on south high and know that the cashiers and the managers are supposed to stay on top of the food shelves by the register. They are just dirty and don't care here clearly.

I forget where, but I asked the lady at the checkout my question and we ended up somehow talking about homelessness and how bad the opioid epidemic was getting out of hand. We talked for a bit and I told her about myself truthfully. She recommended that I try to get into the Volunteers of America veterans shelter. I highly recommend this place. They kept an eye on you, watched out for you and made sure you had everything you needed for a good start to succeed !!! They truly cared.

They have a selection of men's, women's clothing, furniture, shoes, CDs, artwork and books. This thrift store is extraordinary in what they do! 96% of each dollar goes towards aiding in HIV care and supporting those suffering with it. They offer free on site HIV testing. There were around 10 young men waiting to get tested. I really liked some of the furniture pieces and artwork in this store, unfortunately it was too big to bring back on my flight home with me. My friend purchased around 12 CDs at $2 each. I would love some of them too, but I haven't had anything to play CDs on in so long. Out of the Closet is a thrift store that supports a wonderful cause. Stop by when you're in the area!

The majority of my closet is consignment/second hand, so I have spent many hours in all of the…read moreconsignment stores around Columbus. This location buys and sells both men's and women's clothing. Each location buys based on the area, so what may sell well/buy well here, may not be what you will find in other locations. For example, you'll find many more high end items in Dublin than in Hilliard. You may find jeans here for around ~$15/pair. Shirts ~$10-14 each. SELLING: * when you sell, you will get $ the day that you sell your items. This is similar to Platos Closet/Clothes Mentor, but unlike many of the Grandview consignment stores where you don't get $ until the store sells your item. I prefer getting my $ up front, so I appreciate that here. * You get ~30% of what they will sell your item for here, whereas you will get up to ~50% of sell price at the Grandview consignments for example. * You can also get store credit instead of cash here. In that case, they give you 25% more. Note that each Uptown is individually owned, so you can only use that store credit at the specific store you sell. *On average, you really only get $4-5 per item you sell here. * The wait time for selling your clothes is typically only ~5-15 minutes, and you're required to stay in store as they sort through on your first visit selling. BUYING: * note that you if you do return something, you can only get store credit or exchange for something in stores. They will not refund you. *Overall, pretty average. I don't really find much here, but my style fits the Clothes Mentor/Dublin style typically.

Tried this place out today! They have a lot of good selection (Pink, Michael Kors, yoga pants,…read morejeans, etc.) They have clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. The clothes were pretty good prices. My only qualm is that the purses seemed a little expensive for "used".

Buckeye Bargains is a hidden treasure located on the Ohio State Columbus campus. It's in the…read morebasement of Converse Hall and is only open on Wednesdays from 9-3:30 pm when classes are in session. It is completely volunteer run by The University Women's Club, and all of the proceeds go to fund scholarships for OSU students. The volunteers are really friendly - just ask them if you need help or if you are looking for something in particular, and they'll point you in the right direction. So what will you find? A little bit of everything! Think OSU gear + thrift shop/flea market. Make sure you have time to browse when you head in there, because it's a small space that is well packed. Donations come from individuals and shops (such as the OSU gift shops); some items are used, some new, some from estate sales, and more. There is plenty of OSU gear, plus items with other logos, housewares, art, jewelry, clothing, toys and more. There's a lot of turnover, and every week brings something new. There's even a free box that sits at the front entrance. I've found everything from OSU bird feeders to university themed cookie cutters, OSU logo bags, seasonal holiday decorations, scarlet and gray buckeye rain boots, and lots of jewelry. Being on campus, parking to visit the store can be a bit of a bear, so if you can time it with a visit to campus or the area and walk there, that can be helpful. Otherwise, the nearby parking lot offers pay 'n display parking (cash or credit card), so you can also park that way. However you end up there, be prepared to go treasure hunting and enjoy!

Buckeye Bargains, I love you so much. I definitely did not choose to attend OSU solely because…read morethere is a THRIFT STORE on CAMPUS; however, if I would have known, it would've had a pretty large bearing on my decision. I stumbled upon this gem one Wednesday afternoon and now I can never go an entire Wednesday without stopping in. This place is hidden in the basement of Converse Hall (ROTC building) and is only open on Wednesdays from 9-3:30. It's run by a group of precious elderly ladies and all of the proceeds go to OSU scholarships. They only accept cash. Their stock rotates regularly, and usually if something lasts for more than two weeks or so it is marked down. On some days, they sell overstock merchandise from OSU apparel stores, so you can often score an OSU t-shirt for $5 or so. Most of the merchandise is priced at $5 or under. They have everything from clothes to shoes to jewelry to bobbleheads and flash drives... If you have free time on a Wednesday, be sure to stop by this wondrous haven. But don't take any of the good stuff and make me regret sharing my deepest secret with you.
