- ''2013-01-15 17:47:27'' [[nbsp]] I visited here and was severely disappointed. A lot of stuff doesn't have a price and when I asked how much things would be, the guy at the desk gave a real vague answer. I had to ask twice each time. There are a lot of items all over the place with "not for sale" signs on it or with the price crossed out and a person's name written on the tag. The guy said they had been claimed by someone but not taken. Also, don't be expecting a thrift shop like I was. There are tons of items which are just crappy old things from offices and businesses, but they call them "vintage" and charge 5 - 10 times what the item is worth. I saw a beat up Ski-Doo snowmobiling helmet for $30. A record player with speakers but neither the player nor the speakers worked--$125. An old chrome and Formica kitchen table from the 50s or 60s--$349!. They even had one in the front of the store that marked $40 or $50, depending on which tag you looked at. The other thrift place at the corner of Main and Culver had one with chairs for $80. I like to support thrift stores and upcycle things I will not be returning to this place. --["Users/badfish"] - ------

They said it's NOT a thrift store but you can still find insane deals on stuff. Plus Utter Clutter was there. 4 or 5 different shops, I think, with all kids of stuff for your home. They do recycling or "upcycling" classes, there's a gallery. This place is crazy. Something for every budget. My only complaint was that there was renovations happening and some parts were hard to walk through, but they told me it would be over in a couple of weeks. I will come back many times! --["Users/JimKeenan"]

- ''2013-01-15 17:47:27'' [[nbsp]] I visited here and was severely disappointed. A lot of stuff doesn't have a price and when I asked how much things would be, the guy at the desk gave a real vague answer. I had to ask twice each time. There are a lot of items all over the place with "not for sale" signs on it or with the price crossed out and a person's name written on the tag. The guy said they had been claimed by someone but not taken. Also, don't be expecting a thrift shop like I was. There are tons of items which are just crappy item things from office, but they call them "vintage" and charge 5 - 10 times what the item is worth. I saw a beat up Ski-Doo snowmobiling helmet for $30. A record player with speakers but neither the player nor the speakers worked--$125. An old chrome and Formica kitchen table from the 50s or 60s--$349!. They even had one in the front of the store that marked $40 or $50, depending on which tag you looked at. The other thrift place at the corner of Main and Culver had one with chairs for $80. I like to support thrift stores and upcycle things I will not be returning to this place. --["Users/badfish"]	+ ''2013-01-15 17:47:27'' [[nbsp]] I visited here and was severely disappointed.
