I give this place a 5 star, because I like the spicy vibe of an owner/ operator (Steve) that has had enough, but keeps showing up. This shop is for people that know what they want & what they want to spend. No price tag? No problem. Start with what you think something is worth & wheel & deal. I understand the need for some to pick pieces up & inspect them for damage, but I only recommend doing that on something I plan on negotiating over. I also understand some people preferring a price tag & avoiding the negotiation process altogether, but there are literally dozens of shops in the area that operate that way & I suggest you go to them. When you shop here, you get the opportunity to negotiate & the owner (Steve) offers some great deals when bundling. People want to spend 50¢ on some rinky-dink item & have the retail worker at the register kiss their feet while ringing you up. This ain't the place & Steve ain't that guy. @Steve, when you read this: Never Give Up! read more

Trash & Treasures - Vape Shops Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

This place is one of the worst places I've ever been to I can understand what some reviews may say how the owner is very clear as to not move anything and some 5 star reviews say this as well, however as soon as I walked in and had lifted a battery charger to look at another one under it the owner is already on my trail upset even when I tried to say "hey sorry I was just trying to look at this other batter charger" his mood had already shifted on top of that he seems to not like any customers that just come in to see if there's anything there to pique their interest, which is essentially the whole point of owning a store and not just listing stuff on Facebook marketplace. Overall I would say any 5 star review that is left on this place is either from a long time ago or from a friend the selection is a good amount of money of things and the value is not listed on the item. For any TL/DR Essentially a dying business with a old arrogant man that doesn't want to change with the times nor understand what customer service I can understand respect and I believe any store or store owner deserves respect nor do I believe they need to suck up to the customer but this guy just blatantly disrespects you. read more

I didn't get to spend more than a minute in here before he jumped down my throat for touching something with my first finger. I was trying to get a closer look but he made it clear I was to keep my hands to myself. I had done nothing wrong and the object I was looking at looked like it was worth maybe $2.50 Didn't confirm that... think the price was on the back. Was going to look for consideration but decided after a short argument that I wouldn't spend a second longer in this establishment. I am uninterested in defending my right to shop. Won't be shocked when this place goes out of business. read more

DO NOT GO!! We were immediately greeted by ben and his customer service was over the top but as we continued to browse we were greeted by the owner, who asked us if we were interested in anything. When we told him we were just browsing, he told us not to touch anything unless we were interested in buying the item. He continued to tell us that same thing multiple times in a rude tone, and told us to blame the public for the way he is. We simply just told him that we would just take our business elsewhere and left. read more

As a loyal costumer I was disappointed in the way my daughter was treated when I brought her in to go shopping. She left in tears from the unprovoked disrespect. The owner is clearly disgruntled. He accosted her as though she were mishandling and breaking items before she even had a chance to walk through the store. My daughter was raised to respect others better than I do myself sometimes and she would never disrespect somebodies store like that. The owner needs to take a humble approach and learn to discern who his loyal customers are. read more

It hurts my heart to leave negative reviews on any business especially an antique store, but the owner of this store is particularly abrasive and rude. My husband and I left our final stop of the day feeling unsettled and upset. I do my best to understand anyone's point of view and I try even harder to respect people's wishes. Straight off the bat he told us he doesn't like people rummaging through his things and not putting things back where they were. This I totally understand respect, these are HIS items that he has set up a particular way, there is nothing wrong with that. I tried on a ring and he gladly let me do so, or at least it seemed. As we were talking to him he found out that we were simply looking around, since we didn't have our wallets on us. His demeanor seemed to change after this and I could tell it bothered him that we weren't purchasing anything. When we had walked to the other side of the store, he followed us over there and while my husband began looking at more things, he basically told us "Like I said, if you're not going to buy anything I'd rather you just leave." While he didn't verbally berate us like I've seen in other reviews, it's hurtful to be practically asked to leave and a lousy way to run a business. I wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone based on the negativity that the shop owner radiates. read more

The person working there on 8/26/2025 was very rude! And a bad attitude! We went to check it out and my brother (who is legally blind) opened door to go in and accidentally stepped on persons dog! The guy came out with an attitude! Saying need to be more observant! Told us to hurry up and close door, we were coming in! I told him my brother was blind and the guy was just been a total jerk! Will never go back and would not recommend going there! Don't know if he was the owner or not! He lost our business!! Shouldn't have dog laying in door way! Not like my brother meant to do it! read more

Over priced. Owner looks up items as you are getting ready to checkout. Owner was pushy when I politely declined the items telling me "nothing is donated, there are no volunteers, he purchases storage units..." Then proceeded to come to the back door and yell at me because I didn't know if pushed the door to stay open at the front of the store. read more

The service is the worst service I have ever experienced if I could give 0 I would 100% me and my family went in four 3 minutes and as we are looking through bins the guy comes up and say to not touch anything at all and then say if we won't touch anything by something he would take it off the shelf himself regardless it is the most ridiculous thing ever read more

The man working there was very rude. Don't take kids into this business, you will not be welcomed. My child touched a metal clock and you would have thought she threw a plate and broke it the way he responded. "This is not a toy store" maybe they should put that on the windows. read more

Awful owner. Bad communication basically said don't touch anything unless I was buying. Nothing priced anywhere and was told to put stuff back in some very specific order. This place was empty and he was yelling at his dog Ben before I even said hello. This guy sucks. Don't waste your time with trash to treasures in Bremerton. read more

This man is possibly the most unpleasant man I have ever stood inside the business of, in my entire life. I wasnt in the store for longer than 5 minutes before he came up to me and began telling me he didn't want people in his stores touching things things they don't want. I tried to brush him off politely, and he walked away. I turned around and started looking through a bin of clothes, and had barely made it to the second, when he cane up to me. "I don't like having to repeat myself, if youre going to be touching stuff or looking for a good deal, you can go ahead and leave. I buy storage units and resell, I dont have garage sale prices". And push bins back where they go when you're done with them", and proceeds to push the bin I was looking through back on to the shelf. Honestly kind of surprised, I told him he didn't give me the opportunity to, and that I was just looking for anywhere there might be a price gap, where i could make a few dollars, as I resell suff myself. He pretty much more or less told me to go f**k myself and that he didn't need my business. I kept lokming for a few minutes, trying to ignore him, and he told me he was closing up. Yeah, at 2:45 pm on a Friday afternoon. I walked outside politely, and started writing my review. He approached me outside and told me to leave. I told him that there was no reason for him to act the way he was, and that i had only tried to support his business. He told me I needed to leave, and I told him that I didn't, because it was ibid property, and that he was acting ridiculous, and rather rude. He threatened to beat me up, called me a little punk, and threatened to 'beat my a**'. Dude get over yourself. You own a thrift store. Never have I ever been feasted so poorly for trying to nicely brush off an Incredibly rude business owner and support their business anyways. I will never come back, and will tell everybody i know about my experience, don't worry man. I would rate 0 stars if it were possible. read more

The guy chastised my granddaughter for touching items....she was shopping, and it was actual junk. He then said children can't touch anything and to get out of his store, which we were happy to do. Thankfully the large German shepherd was nice as it greeted us at the door. He was a jerk. He yelled and I responded likewise. Do not take children in his store even if there are stuffed animals in the window. read more

Awful experience! Greeted by a German shepherd at the door! Can you imagine opening a solid door and as you open it a large Dog charges at you! Then the owner follows you around as if you want to steal his treasures. Other times, he threw a tennis ball so the dog would run/charge in my direction and bump the junk near me which startled me several times while in the store. At the time, I shared my concern of don't have the dog run at me! He became argumentative and I decided to leave and write this review! Do not this business...truly suspect racism with this owner!!! read more

The man was yelling at someone outside the street in front of his business for crossing in front of his store. Then he told me to make offers, he didn't need the money he buys storage units. When I touched something to look at it he scolded at me stating, "don't touch if you're not going to buy it". Then when I did take two items to the counter and made an offer he yelled at me stating, "I would rather throw them away then sell them for that, this is not a yard sale get out of my business and don't come back!" As he followed me down the aisle toward the exit. I felt physically threatened. Then he followed me and my significant other to the car and told us, "get off my property". read more

I wasn't gonna leave a review until the owner yelled at us to "Go ahead, leave a bad review!" We were in the store for 4 min flat, and the owner started getting combative because I picked so thing up to look at it. I defused by trying to chat him up (he's a yapper and rudest that, but hey) - then some plastic paintball guns fell out of HIS display and when my husband was putting them back up for him he started blabbering on about how he was putting them back wrong and "I had them how I wanted them". Needless to say the owner is the worst part of this store; followed by him thinking these items should cost the same as brand new. He bids on storage units and thinks he's on a high-street in Paris. read more

It was shocking how rude he was, we left the store thinking " did this really just happen???" Then we laughed at how absurd it was! It was almost like he was angry that we dared to step in his store. We only made it down one aisle before we retreated , he was still complaining about us touching things. We're not young obnoxious kids, we're silver haired ladies! I assume he hasn't had a sale in years, according to the other reviews. Don't think customer service is in his wheelhouse read more

This company trash and treasures is mainly trash with a few treasures. Just needs to improve service, selection, and value.

My wife has a collection of vintage game consoles and frequently shops for older electronic items. She's wanted to check out this place since we moved here in 2019. Last week we finally went in; her first time, my second. She also collects vintage toys and first found bins of old McDonald's Happy Meal Toys. He wanted $3/each for these vintage but WELL-PLAYED WITH toys. Not willing to pay that much for the very used toys, she put them back into the same bin she found them in. Then, as we are looking through the electronic items, stored in heaps, piles, and crowded shelves, the proprietor, loudly and rudely tells us that we don't need to touch the items unless we're planning on buying them. She explains that she *is* interested in buying but needs to look at the items to determine if they are what she needs. The guy goes in again on how nothing should be touched unless you're buying it, that if he let everyone pick up the items his store would be a disaster, on and on. At this point I'm utterly appalled but my wife continues to try and explain she doesn't have to touch the items but that if she is going to buy them she needs to look at the connections available, specs, whatever. He just gets more rude. At this point my wife looks at me, I'm beyond ready to leave. She says to me that she's ready and doesn't care to continue shopping where someone speaks to their customers like that. The owner starts mumbling from behind the counter so I ask him what he was saying. He starts yelling at us not to ever come back in his store if we're going to use foul language--which no one had done. I tell him that no one has said anything foul but I didn't mind starting then. The kicker is that this guy has had the same crap in the windows since I've lived here and he was rude when I'd gone in the first time, several years before. He's not a businessman, he's a hoarder and a Richard. He's giving, "my family hates me and my kids don't talk to me but I don't know why" vibes. So, if you like to buy second, third, or fourth-hand junk for above-average prices and without being able to first inspection those items, while also being berated, this is the place for you. If not, avoid this place like the plague. 0/10 stars read more

Owner is rude. He doesn't price anything yet expects to sell things for what they are going for online. Don't waste your time going here, simply not worth it. read more

Don't waste your time. Store looked cool decided to stop in, picked up a toy and was told "if I don't plan on buying it don't touch it" as if I was some 5 year old kid, stated that he's tired of people breaking stuff and ruining his things. no prices on everything, anytime I tried to make small talk about his collection and his answers are smug and condescending, goes on about how he buys 70 storage units a year with no help, sorts everything himself blah blah blah . I seriously hate leaving bad reviews because he did have some cool stuff but he sucks. Why even have a store in the first place if one doesn't know how to interact with other human beings he should just do online sales. And to the people defending the disgusting, and aggressive behavior stating to not come in if you don't know what you want , it's not a Walmart you go into antique/thrift stores to look around. read more

Whoa, what a strange store. It's well sorted but it's piled up fairly precariously and a lot of the items look quite dirty. I was going to ask the owner about the prices of a couple of things but thought better if it after I heard him flat out yell at two other customers. I don't mind haggling but I'm not even going to bother with someone who is angry and aggressive. Apparently the merchandise is all from storage unit auctions. I was with my niece and I just wanted to get her out of there and away from a man who honestly seemed unstable. This isn't a very good way to run a business. I feel badly for the guy. He needs some help and I don't mean an employee. read more

What the hell is this business model lmao Man yelled at me before I could actually buy anything and that's uh...the way he prefers it? Literally ran me out of the store hahaha read more

By the pictures I thought this was our dream treasure hunt- should have noted the review rating. Why can't the items at least have a "color dot", so you know the apx pricing. He explained he doesn't have workers or time to price. So we moved on. I would do the same at a yard/garage sale, save your time and mine by pricing thing, so there you go. read more

His items are not reasonably priced considering the poor condition and how dirty all the items are. Won't be back

Stay away from this place!!! I was scolded for shopping... at a store. You will be, too. You aren't allowed to touch the merchandise unless you are "interested in buying" which the staff person will very tell at you about as he stalks you around the store. I'm curious to know what is this man's definition of that "interest" seeing as how I had full intent of buying the things I held in my hand. After leaving a particular spot in the store, the guy came up behind me WAY too quickly. He huffed and puffed as he moved the same two small tchotchkes around on the table over and over then scolded me about how hard he works to ensure that this store looks good and that if I didn't intend to buy I shouldn't touch. I did intend to buy... I had things in my hand that I was walking to the counter. Also, it's a second hand store not a glass museum. Anyway, I kept my cool and asked what the issue was, the things I didn't intend to buy that I'd picked up to look at, I'd put back. His complaint was that one of the items was slightly turned in a way that he had not placed it .... A random little thing on a table... in a store full to the brim with random little things.... Also nothing is priced. When you ask for a price, he'll huff and puff about that, too. He did it to my partner when he asked about the price of a jersey. He said he'd have to Google the value of the item before he could them him the price.... So my partner agreed to wait for that to happen but the man just walked away complaining instead. The selection was incredibly underwhelming and the service was offensive. Safe yourself the trouble. read more

Stay away from this business! I have never been at a business where the owner would yell at you! Horrible customer/business relations. He actually came out in the parking lot and scowled at me for not buying something! Stay away, stay away, stay away! read more

Nature of complaint: public safety/dog leash laws and customer service. Yesterday afternoon (4/12/25), I spent approximately 2 minutes in this business because of the owner's contempt for me and for the law. Of interest, I am a 5'3", modest, gentle, 50 year old woman. I walked in through the front door, peacefully on a search for thrift finds. I looked to the right and to the left, and I saw no humans. Walked up to a wall of things and in a matter of seconds a large german shepherd dog abruptly darted toward me and up to my body, which I caught in my peripheral eye sight. I squealed in fearful stress, and then I saw a man walk past me. I was stunned at his lack of concern, and that no one was claiming this unleashed dog. I told the man I'm scared, and he punitively scoffed, Well you scared him first! I felt so insulted and bullied. In fearful shock I weakly said, Your dog should be on a leash. Now the man angrily said, NO I DON'T NEED TO HAVE A LEASH! I somehow mustered courage to say, I am the human here (as if to stress that there are leash laws for human safety, and there is human decency as opposed to contempt). The man then yelled, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, THIS IS MY STORE, I'M THE OWNER AND I DON'T NEED MY DOG ON A LEASH, AND I DON'T WANT TO SERVE YOU IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT! IN FACT, YOU CAN LEAVE! I was nearly in tears as I stood frozen for a couple more seconds, and then I immediately left. If you have ever been attacked by a leashless dog, you should understand that after leaving the store it took some time for my nervous system to regulate back to safe mode. Another disgusting thing about this is that there was another man beside him as he bullied me, who did not speak in my defense or in defense of the law. I'm here to impress that this business owner must abide by state and county dog laws, and he owes me and the community a personal apology. He should receive regulation for not having control of his potentially dangerous animal. The BBB will receive a report. read more

He doesn't post prices on anything and yells at you for touching things. He buys abandoned storage units for pennies and resells the junk in his store. read more

Asian discrimination at its best! Plus like all the other reviews, owner is completely rude and claimed my husband moved something on his store when he didn't. He follows you around and chases you out. Interestingly, it's mostly trash... sans treasures. Don't waste your time. Seriously. If I could post zero stars.... I would. read more

store is packed with stuff and the owner seems to be the only one working here. with that said, there is a very clear reason this place is packed. The owner of this place is completely out of touch as to what his items are worth and what price he should put on them. Ask to bundle items and he will cry fowl. I guess selling in bulk isn't his thing. "I don't give my stuff away" is a common refrain in this store. Maybe don't bother going here for anything other than an argument, Those seem to be free Though! read more

the owner is the only person working and he is so kind! he gave us amazing prices and even told us when we were offering too high. got an amazing quality desk and cute trinkets for very cheap. great guy, great store, and great finds! read more

Owner is extremely rude he doesn't price anything simply because he is lazy. If you are interested in something he will look up how much it goes for on eBay. Seems like he is rude to everyone considering the other reviews. Good luck staying in business with your terrible business model!! :) read more

I used to stop in here regularly and loved the place. It was PACKED with stuff, very cluttered, but worth a real search for treasures that were never over priced. Then one day I parked in back, hurried inside, and the clutter was cleaned up, entire areas of oddities had been completely removed, and it simply no longer seemed like the same shop. The somewhat better order of things might have greater appeal for some. But the experience, such as it remained, was soon to be shattered. Looking intensely for a pity-purchase I found two rather nice tealight candle holders. Nothing tremendous but I liked them. Drat, no price on them. I asked the guy I'd never seen, but who seemed now to be the owner, how much for the tiny candle holders. He said, "Oh! Those are very rare!" No they weren't. He said he'd have to look them up, by which I think he meant see what ebayers charge for such things they find at St Vinnies for 50 cents or the goodwill for a dollar and then reprice at fifteen dollars never to be sold. "Oh, don't bother," I said, left, and quite likely will never return. Sad to have lost a clutter that was always fun to look through! read more

More like just trash. Came in here wanting to look for old video games and the owner tells me not to touch anything and that my "kind of people" are in there to just trash the place and never buy anything. read more

The owner is very rude. Tells you not to touch anything and over prices all of the trash. There is a lack of treasure in the store. The only items in the store are the non-saleables from Goodwill that reek of smoke. read more

Horrible store. Owner called me a piece of shit. Don't go here. The owner of the store is so incredibly rude, you don't even want to go in there. My friends and I were looking around for about 10 minutes, which during he approached the both of us and said "He doesn't have workers and storages so don't touch anything unless you want to buy it." I was looking around at the microphones, grabbed one because I thought "oooh, this would be nice," and then looked at it and through, "eh" so I put it back. As im putting it back, the owner walked up to me and asks if im interested in buying it, to which I said no, to which he said "I just wanna remind you that don't touch anything unless you're interested in buying it. I thought I told you that already." How rude!! He then proceeded to walk away, standing behind his desk, when I heard him say, ".....shit." His first words were muttered, with the end being loud, yelled out. He was pissed, probably saying "piece of shit," or "don't touch my shit." Rude as fuck! read more

My husband and I were excited to find this store while passing through town- we like antique shops that don't look like they're going to be touristy and ridiculously priced. We went in, and as soon as I picked up a tchotchke to look for a price tag (a normal thing to do) I was told by the owner that I couldn't touch anything unless I was "interested in buying it." Thoroughly confused, I asked, "What if I'm PARTIALLY interested in buying, so I'm picking it up to see what the other side of it looks like?" He responded, "Like I said- no touching unless you're interested." Wha?! He then ranted for an unreasonably long time about how he buys everything he sells there (You mean like a store owner? Cool bro. Very unique) and how he's been doing it for 5 years and people break stuff. I said, "Got it. If I break something I'll buy it," to which he responded, "No. It's more than that. I have things arranged in a specific way blah blah blah" (Uh... you mean like ANY store owner does in their store?), as if his shop is something waaaaaay different than others. A few reviews on google defend this behavior because "it's not a garage sale, it's not the Goodwill," but picking things up to look at them is what you do in a STORE. Come on now. Let's be honest about the situation: At the end of the day, the owner enjoys stalking and confronting customers so he can wield some sort of nerdy authority over them. If this weren't the case, he'd just put a "no touching" sign on the door and call it good. Clearly he's battling some demons, and I do feel a little bad for him (in general I tend to like gruff and curmudgeon-y people!). But for those passing through Bremerton, I cannot recommend Trash & Treasures unless you are interested in poking a bear. It's likely a hoarder situation and this guy ain't interested in doing business with you. read more

0 stars. Incredibly rude owner. Was told not to touch something unless I was considering buying it. I picked up a cast iron mouse doorstop from a lower shelf to get a better look, I can't see super well. Decided against it and was rudely reminded to only touch wha I was considering purchasing. I told him I was considering it. I'm sure not now. Will never return. I don't enjoy being scolded and informed how hard it is to run a store all by one's self. I didn't make u have a thrift store buddy. Time to retire. read more

I think this man is mentally unstable, perhaps Alzheimer's. Please read other reviews similar to mine. My husband and I stopped in for the first time just for fun. We immediately got a bad vibe. Very dirty, prices are inflated, no wheelchair access, and the man who owns it is very protective of what he has for sale. I was looking at leather jackets and PUTTING THEM BACK MORE NEATLY FOLDED THAN I FOUND THEM and he accused me of "throwing things around" he kept trying to touch me. I called to my husband across the store that we must leave immediately and the owner said "I couldn't do that, that he would get my husband for me". He seems to see women as subservient. It was actually rather frightening especially since the store is so dark and ceilings so low. I'm happy to be alive! I'm never going back and I wouldn't be surprised to hear one day that this man is a psycho. read more
