I found out about Ditto when I was looking for a consignment or resale boutique that wasn't low…read moreend, like Plato's Closet (Plato's Closet caters to teenagers, and the clothing was cheap when new, mostly from Wal-Mart and Debs at best). I was hoping to find a consignment shop in town, but this was even better - Ditto buys (very selectively) for cash or about 20% more for store credit. I found a few grungy pieces while I shopped but 98% of what I saw was is in excellent condition and is not wash-worn, and I think they must dryclean or steam clean everything before putting it out, because the shop itself smells like new clothes, like any other boutique - unlike Plato's Closet, which smells like a chainsmoker wearing Axe body spray. Plato's Closet only seems to recognize cheap brands. They're not going to give you fair trade for a leather bag, all of their bags and most of their shoes are made out of plastic pleather and they seem mystified by anything nice. Ditto gave me a fair valuefor my clothing/shoes/bags, and saved me the time of having to try to ebay things, or find a consignment store in KC and wait to see if things sold eventually. I think you can expect to get about 10-20% of your item's original retail value; they're going to sell it for 50-60% under original retail value, so they're covering all their operating costs on the relatively thin margin of what's left after they subtract what they pay you. So the Prada boots, you're going to get maybe 30-40 dollars for them and might do better on ebay, but ebay is a PITA. I've read the reviews saying the sales staff are snobby, rude, whatever - and I think that's not quite right, or at least not quite fair. They're weird and aloof and awkward because they're SUPER YOUNG. They're not comfortable interacting with adults yet and that's really obvious if you've spent any amount of time with people 18-24 (the age of most of my students). Yes, they look like adults, but they're not. They're basically teenagers, and having to hold a conversation with someone who is older than 40 makes them feel like they're coming down with Ebola. If they look at you like they're judging you, it's because they're still living in that horrible self-conscious adolescent world where they do judge others, and themselves, harshly and nearly constantly. Most of them seem to be interesting and introverted, not the kind of kid who is extroverted and P-E-P-P-Y. So don't get snippy with them because they haven't learned how to effectively kiss a stranger's butt yet (sorry, practice "customer service"), that hostility seems to come out of nowhere to them and it just makes them more feral and weird. Be kind. Remember what a hard time that was. And if you're interacting with an awkward millennial, thank your lucky stars you're not dealing with the extremely weird older lady with the big frizzy bun hair and the pinched face who works there sometimes, or used to. I haven't seen her in awhile, maybe she has moved on to being offputting somewhere else. If I had to deal with her every time I brought in a bag of things to have evaluated, I'd never go at all.

Decent selection of items! This shop sections the clothes by brands so it is easier to find name…read morebrand and they use themes like "Y2K" and "Trending" to help. The service and staff is great. I would say since they sell mainly name brand it's overpriced but sometimes the items are decently priced.

I love! This store. Last Saturday I found a couple cool items all 50% Off as it is every Saturday…read more Do you know how much snapnlock containers cost?!! Well I got mine for only $1.00. Then I found a heavy stainless steel over the door kitchen towel holder for only $2.50. Looks brand new. After a couple more odds n ends, which included a cool name brand top, the cashier said "that'll be 27 cents!" Whaaat!? I forgot I had $10 credit earned from the 3 times before. I was smiling the rest of that day!! Go check it out.

As others have said, this is a really nice thrift store. The store is so well organized and cared…read morefor by the staff, with quality products of all kinds. You can get lucky and find some really great furniture too. I love that they have started giving donors a $5 off coupon when bringing in donations. I also love that they will come to your house to pick up any furniture that you want to donate but can't bring in yourself. They also have sales daily and post a calendar so you know what is on sale when. Clothes sales days can get very hectic! That being said I don't like donating too much here, as I feel they price items awfully high for people on limited incomes. It seems like they cater more to people with money who are just looking for a good deal. I prefer to take clothes to places that give it away to low income people. I know they take the money they make and help a lot of people in the community, so that's great, but I just wish some of the prices in store were a little more affordable. I frequently see housewares priced higher or the same as new items at retail stores.
