    This thrift store is amazing!…read more Not only is it entirely volunteer run, but all of their items are fair priced and organized wonderfully! Tons of selection such as dishes, books, clothing, jewelry, toys, shoes and so much more! The pricing reminded me of many thrift shops I went to when growing up so it was definitely nostalgic walking in here! All the volunteer staff were super sweet, with a smile on their face and were a joy to speak with! I will be back ever so often to see what new finds I can find!

    I have always been a loyal customer and supporter of St. Vincent de Paul in Buford. Some of my…read morelatest experiences there have changed that I went to donate some items and they complained that bags of clothing were too heavy and that plant pots were dirty on another occasion we walked in at at 3:45 with my daughters and the lady behind the counter said we are about to close and we smiled and said OK is she replied like in just a few minutes. And then my most recent I went in to look for a mini crockpot to melt wax they had one when I looked at the price it was $18 which I thought was quite unreasonable I googled Walmart and they had a brand new one for $12.50 I went to the front and asked if they would take less for because I would rather give it to a good cause than a corporation and they said it's not due for markdown yet. I understand this is to help the needy but not while ripping off people

    I've been suspecting for a while that this store removes items that would be 99 cents from the…read moresales floor on Monday, stashing them in the back until afterwards (because that color tag always disappears rather dramatically right before the sale day). On Friday, I was in the store.. they had over a HUNDRED dvds that were set to be 99 cents today. I went back today and they were ALL gone. I seriously doubt someone bought every single dvd in that color in 2 days. I imagine these are sitting in a cart in the back and will reappear magically later this week. This store should be investigated by its corporate office for scamming its customers with deceptive practices like this. This will be my last 99-cent-day at this store.

    This place used to be good but they no longer sell the good stuff in their stores. The good stuff:…read more - Hard back fiction novels for adults. The hardback fictions that remain are usually children's books which aren't popular that they've labeled as adult books so they can price them $1 high. ($2.92) - I've seen large non-fiction books (coffee table books) priced as high as $6 - music instruments, they don't even sell the starter instruments your toddlers and preschoolers might use - books of sheet music - any vintage item that is in good repair - art supplies (I mean I found some broken crayons) - any designer clothing or bags (even the cheaper things like Gloria Vanderbilt jeans we can get at Costco for $20) - all leather jackets - all trench coats - vintage jewelry - enamel pins or little buttons - toys are mostly gone except some stuffies, especially any which might appeal to Gen X or older millennials as a nostalgia item They send all of this "good stuff" which they get for free and send it to a e-commerce sites where virtually everything starts priced at $9-50. Then they charge $2-7 for handling plus $5-15 for shipping for almost every item. This means for any new item, almost anything will cost you less to order from Amazon. They also tend to overprice things that are new and look ornate. For example, they are currently trying to sell a fountain pen that costs you $23 from Amazon for $59.99. I've emailed them several times since first seeing the item listed to inform them that it looks ornate but it is actually from a cheap pen company. Goodwill packaging which I assume is supposed to be covered by "handling" fee is BAD. I ordered a few things to test them out: - One arrived at my place okay. But it took over a week to leave their facility. When I emailed asking about the delay, they said that the items are only guaranteed to leave after 5 business days and Saturday and Sunday are not business days even though they are open on Saturday but closed on Friday. I ordered the item on Saturday, which meant it took they kept the item for 10 days to ship. - One lot of pens, for which I paid $25 in shipping and handling... they literally scraped into a plastic grocery bag then put the bag into the bottom of the box. The bag contained a delicate, early 1900s: mother of pearl dip pen with a gold nib which had a box that they declined to use, a glass fountain pen (also not in its box) and a bunch of nibs... plus 3 bonus razor blades all shipped 2000 miles to me with all the padding ABOVE the items. - Another they described as an inkwell (I am an artist)... it wasn't. It was 12 inches tall and a wine bottle. They provided no photos to give reference to size. - Another was a t-shirt press and it came wrapped in two boxes with no padding. The two boxes were held together by a piece of tape that may have been 2 inches long. If an item doesn't sell through their website on the first few rounds.... Like all those starter music instruments you might have bought for your kid for $5-10 and used artist loft kits that they were trying to start at $25 (when you shipping and handling fee ). They auction them off in giant boxes for hundreds to thousands of dollars. If you can avoid it don't shop at their stores, take the time to find another thrift store. But above all don't donate your items. They are taking the goods you are donating to help others in your community and selling them to people who have money to get into bidding wars. Meanwhile they are paying their CEO's up to $750,000 a year while paying their disabled employees as little as $0.75 and hour. No I didn't leave out a number. Seventy-five cents an hour. I recommend SVDP, Value Village, Humane Society Thrift Stores, Scraplants, and Habitat Humanity Re-Store. All of these are great places to donate and great places to shop. References regarding pay and Goodwill, I've seen no evidence that they've improved their ethics: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/disabled-workers-paid-just-pennies-hour-its-legal-flna6C10406957
