I bought a basketball jersey here that I was excited to wear but I started feeling something poking into the side of my body next to my stomach after I put it on. I assumed I forgot to remove a plastic tag but actually it was multiple rusted staples and a safety pin. This indicates to me that staff are not taking the time to properly vet items that they are putting out on the racks for any defects. read more

2nd Street - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was shopping my way down Hawthorne and stopped into this store to have a look. This review is speaking as a shopper; most of the complaints here seem to be from sellers. It's definitely a more curated thrift store so expect a little bit higher prices. They organized the store by style of clothing so that's fun, but it can still take a search to find what you're looking for. They have a few dressing rooms and not a lot of places to sit to try on shoes. Looking them up later, they're a national chain but this is their only PNW location. They have an online shop so I'd assume the best items go there for highest price. read more

Sellers be warned: They quote you 1-1.5 hours and end up taking 3+ hours to sort through your items. Sell somewhere else!

Waste of time. They must make commission, because what was offered to me was an insult. And I didn't even have high hopes, just that I would be treated like a vendor, much like how people buy off of ebay or other sites. Dont trust them. Im pretty sure they are doing something sketchy, keeping money for themselves becuase it doesnt add up. read more

Great vintage store with some luxe goods. Well organized by collection/style. I've been to similar LA vintage stores and this was nice to see here in Portland during our road trip. Prices are a little higher = better quality items read more

2nd Street - August 2024 - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This place was great, they offered so much good quality clothing at such a low price! I found Columbia, Patagonia, North Face, and other similar warm jackets at the low, low prices of $16-$33!! They had Disneyland jerseys for $12. These are just a few examples of brand named clothes for SUPER cheap! Definitely check this place out, you will find some amazing gems! They also have a few luxury items as well to browse. read more

I sold great clothing brand pieces here and they gave me $20 dollars for four items. I bought a pair of heels there and two hours later they broke. On the other hand I have been able to find good quality clothing here for a better deal than other places. Would not recommend selling here. read more

A fun atmosphere, creative encouraging. Put your own style together. You have a choice designers,street wear, vintage, and more. I really like the management of the company. I love the store. read more

I verbally stated to the staff that they need training on unconscious racial bias and cultural competence (afterthought: and fashion). When I entered the store, I checked the windows to see if there were any policies posted about bags. No signs were present. I entered the store. I was not greeted by staff, and started browsing the selections. A minute later, I was asked to put my bag away. The lag in response makes me wonder if staff were communicating with each other about my arrival. Nevertheless, I said "sure" and threw my Longchamp and Nordstrom bags across the counter. A security guard was sent to the front of the store and remained there the whole time I was in the store. I noticed that two other patrons were allowed to carry tote bags - definitely classified as carry ons by Southwest Airlines. I thought to myself "Hold up. Wait a minute. Why does this patron get to keep their bag?" If there is a company policy for bags as the employees stated, it needs to be clearly posted and consistently followed so that there is no room for misunderstandings. I am a petite, 4'11", 100 pound African American female (with an impeccable sense of fashion). I am also aware of how structural racism impacts unconscious bias in the shopping industry. This experience was the antithesis of my experience browsing the designer shoe section in Nordstrom at Pioneer Square today...You lost a customer who would have irresponsibly spent her money here. Do better. Educate yourselves. Be aware. read more

Help was A+ in off-putting attitude. Some labels, yes, but mostly grungy, tired, and in some cases filthy. My grandgirl pointed out a pair of light-colored pants where someone had obviously peed in them. We left. read more

I'm a huge fan of 2nd street because they offer such unique pieces at a pretty reasonable cost. However, I did feel that the selection that they had here was pretty average. Maybe I came in on a bad week but not many of the items WOWed me. Great service and pretty clean space! read more

I came here to sell, & got ripped off hard. Sold here for the first time, immediately regret it. Will never be back. Their selling process is drop off, and come back when they call you, so you don't know what they're buying or for how much. I dropped off a big bag of stuff and had a little bit left to take back when I was done. I don't recall exactly everything they chose to buy from my haul, but I am 100% for certain they "took" the following: 3 flannels 1 vintage vest 6 jeans 2 joggers 2 shorts 3 pairs of shoes For $17 and some change. They give you a total price at the end, not itemized. What a joke. Go to Buffalo exchange around the corner instead. Bye read more

I wouldn't recommend selling clothes here, but I have found some gems at a great price. Got a couple pairs of pants and a couple shirts for a total under $50, which was great value in my opinion. My experience selling to them is quite the opposite. I've brought in bags of clothes - some items that have been only worn once - and they offered me literally pennies for them. Overall I'd give this place a decent rating. It's worth checking out imo. If you spend time in there you'll be able to find some good pieces for good prices. read more

(Sellers beware) This place is embarrassing. I waited around for almost 2 hours while they looked through my stuff. When it came time to go over what they were buying from me the associate showed me an itemized receipt and let's just say I was extremely disappointed with the offers they presented me. They wanted to buy about 10-20 items including: - A pair of Ann Demeulemeester leather pants brand new with tags ($2590 retail price) (I originally had multiple pairs of which I had sold for no less than $700 a pair on grailed - they offered me $45) - Rare vintage 1960's Levi's 501 Big E's (I was offered $30) - A rare 90's band tee (they offered me $8) - A pair of designer cargo pants that retailed for over $700 that were brand new with tags. (They offered me about $35) Plus multiple other brand new designer items(including pieces from Undercover and Rick Owens as well as some other rare vintage). Overall they offered me $220 for everything. I couldn't help but feel like they were either really uneducated or they were trying to swindle me. I don't feel great supporting a business that seemingly takes advantage of sellers who provide them with quick and easy access to product. I wasn't expecting to get anywhere close to what the retail price or even market price is for these items as I understand they have to make a profit, but their offers are genuinely insulting. I'd skip out on selling to this place unless you're feeling charitable. read more

My friend was trying on a shoe and a WORKER called her feet fat. Utterly ridiculous and very disappointing because I used to love shopping here. read more

one of the best 2nd streets i've been to, everything is priced at $12-$30ish for normal cool items. and obviously a bit higher priced for certain brands. read more

2nd Street - find a coach purse for $29.99 :) - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm not sure why such bad reviews but my personal experiences have always been delightful? Friendly staff but always finding unexpected gems and good deals? Butt keep in mind I'm only shopping when my kids in town so far from frequent read more

Ooooooh, I like it! I was bopping down SE Hawthorne with a friend, checking out all of the resale shops when I saw for the first time 2nd Street. I was kind of over shopping but we decided to still pop in, and I'm so glad that we did. This shop is wholly in another category than the others we visited, and I'll be back on the regular. The selection here is HUGE, and just as importantly it's well curated and organized. In addition to the regular sections of just racks and racks of t-shirts, they also have areas that are organized by designer. Lots of big names here, including streetwear and Japanese designers. Be warned: this is not a thrift store. While you'll definitely find some deals, they also have rare items that are going for high dollar prices. But that's fashion for ya. As I said, I was a little shopped out by the time I got here, so I didn't dig in too deeply. That being said I did leave with I think 4 shirts that came to a total of $50. I really look forward to returning and seeing what else that I can find. read more

This is a really nice thrift store with a large variety of really good and high end brands! It's always clean in there as well.

This place is scamming Portland HARD. When they first opened up they paid really good for clothes when you brought them in to sell. Now I see it was all just a gimmick to get people in the door. Now they offer literal pennies. In this economy? Not cool. Some of the prices are laughable. $899.00 Jean jacket behind the counter? Where are we, LA? Not. Coming. Back. (P.s. I hate being this negative customer writing a review because I also work in retail.) read more

sweetest employees. Manager .. gal with the bangs and short bob .. you know who you are .. you adorable kind human . All the staff here are SO welcoming and kind and seem genuinely happy to be there. Store is super clean and a lot of selection. I got a dress and top for 13 bucks :) cheaper than some thrift stores. My only bummer is that it was hard for my partner to shop as nothing is arranged by size and he's a broader taller guy. Any chance you will start organizing by size ???? Please ??? Cheers to this stores and their very cuddly and kind staff. read more

While they have a large collection of used clothes and accessories, some of it overpriced, some of it fairly priced, their customer service left much to be desired. I overheard one of the sales associates badmouthing a customer she encountered. She came across as smug, cynical, and a bit condescending...just made me wonder , if she's this comfortable speaking this way on the sales floor-with customers around-is that the culture at this store? Truly hope not. read more

Lesson learned, I will stop wasting my time here. This place could be decent if it was run more like a business and less like high school. Guys behind the counter supposedly buying clothes are so slow can't believe they are getting paid to do that job. Dudes just looking to score then do their job. Ridiculous . Just wanted to unload too much clothing but not worth the wait after being lied to on the phone that there was no one selling when I arrived two minutes later and guy was in the middle of a buy that at the pace he was going was going to take a few more hours. Don't waste your time here buffalo exchange is great and pays. By the way the clothes they have in stock are awful so stained even with blood and ripped beyond repair. Disgusting. read more

Okay, so I come at this with a specific perspective as someone who buys, sells, and trades clothes independently myself, but everything here is so insanely overpriced that it's borderline comical. It's kind of cool to see some stuff in person that's hard to find off of the internet, so I do give points for that, but there is very little reason to buy any of the "higher end" options here, and those higher end options are definitely the most interesting part of their selection. Just look around online and you can probably find everything they sell here for significantly less. read more

If I could give it NO ratings I would! 2 things: brought a bounty of clothes for the 1st time to this place (someone told me to go there vs crossroads where I've been before). My clothing was Anthropologie clothing, Nike, all saints, citizen jeans,...in excellent condition....After waiting 45 min I was told that For all my clothing that they all took except for some more winter items I would get $136....I couldn't believe it so when asking how they figured out the amount they said AG denim, they gave me $1!!!! I was floored....needless to say took all of it back or I thought I did but seems that they kept clothing from me....Nike items somehow where no longer in my pile when I got home! Took half the amount of clothing to crossroads and got $286!!!!! So, either they are ignorant at 2nd street or they scam you, not sure which one it is but would never recommend it! As I was waiting, I was dumb to purchase a shirt to realize when I got home it had a hole in it that was hidden by the hard tag that was attached to it! read more

When I tried to sell clothing here they asked for my ID and wrote down my drivers license ID number and issue date as well as my name and phone number on a slip of receipt paper. There was no spot on the slip which prompted the employee to write down any other information besides my name and phone number. He took this additional info on his own. After hearing it was a 90 minute wait time I decided to skip it and go somewhere else. I asked the employee -"Angel" on the receipt- for the slip with my DL info back since there was no reason for them so have any of my info now that I was not using their service. He was resistant and kept saying "no we keep this part" and was arguing with me about it. After I finally took it back he said "we'll I would have just thrown it away back here". Likely story. I felt very uncomfortable that he gave me so much pushback over returning my personal information. Overall DONT GO HERE unless you want your personal info stolen. read more

This is the coolest second hand store I have ever been to. Some really cheap clothes and also some really hip spendy name brands. . Everything is very organized also. read more

poor customer service, overpriced items, disorganized sales floor and rips off sellers- my boyfriend and I went to sell a few items here that we had left after our consignment trip on Hawthrone. We waited 40 minutes after being told it would only take 10-15 mins for them to begin looking at our items. 30 minutes go by and we began to wait up front after seeing customers with much larger loads get paid out. Managment then proceeded to go through our items after feeling my stink eye..we were offered $2 and donation services..after 40 minutes. there was no check in from floors team the entire time we spent in store. go to crossroads honestly, at least the atmosphere is better read more

This used to be my favorite curated thrift store in portland. I was super stoked about a hat I bought from there and did a search on Google. I could have bought it brand new for $60 but I bought it used for $89. I get it if something is sold out to up price it, but how can you up price something that's still being sold? Fucking joke. And all sales final. Will never be shopping here again. Period. Never will know if you're getting ripped off or getting a deal read more

Prices? Wack. Selling to them? Wack. Organization? Pretty wack. Employees? Ight. If I'm walking my I might go In but 99percent of the time is to take a quick look read more

This place is like DISNEYLAND for thrift shoppers! I bought Nikes for $30 that are selling for $300+ online right now.

This store is awful, do not expect any help or reasonable prices from the buyers. The merchandise is just placed color coated or something, and much of it is trash. You can find much of the same clothes for sale at Goodwill or a church basement. Good ambient music tho read more

DO NOT SELL HERE! I went to sell my clothes yesterday and they took almost everything I had (two huge IKEA bags full) and offered me 14 dollars for it all. Obviously that was a no for me. Took it around the corner to Buffalo Exchange and they bought everything for 208 dollars. Please please please do not waste your goods here. read more

Great selection of some clothes I actually work in that time period! Fun museum like experience and prices aren't too bad.

Despite seeing some negative reviews, I loved this shop! They had a ton of options and prices weren't too crazy. I found a pair of low top blazers for $23!!! Went to the Nike store and saw the same pair for $100. Went to this shop twice in one weekend. read more

Tried to sell my 17 items plus my Neiman Marcus bag at 2nd street and the total was 9 dollars. You probably couldn't even buy anything at this store for 9 dollars. That's two dollars per item. Each clothing item I had offered could easily been resold for 20 dollars. Would not recommend selling at this store unless you're okay with getting ripped off. This store is great for buying at but not for selling. read more

This is by far the best consignment shop I've been to. Professional , kind people working there ! A very clean shop and amazing amazing things . I love this place and I'm hooked ! read more

If you just want to get rid of stuff and don't care how much $ you get, this is your place. The selling rate is vague and not good. You get a higher percentage if they buy it for a higher price. Examples I got were: $100+ items you would get 50% $19 you get $4 $5 you get $.50 So yeah, you'd probably be better off going elsewhere for better selling rates, but they did not seem to be picky about what they bought here as they took everything. I had 3 large bags packed with decent stuff and netted $125 -_- That probably averaged out to about $2 per item of clothing. There is no higher trade option either, just cash. The store itself is cool and has a good selection. I definitely won't be back to sell, but I will be back to buy. read more

Youre much better off shopping on Grailed.com. This store is for people who don't know and don't care about being ripped off. Selling to them is a joke. They tried to take lightly used cdg converse, doc martins, and brand new Levi's with tags for $20 total. They have faded supreme tshirts with visible sweat and dirt stains for $150 and a plethora of terrible quality carhart pants priced way above retail. Y'all suckkkkk read more

27 items for 29.90. Honestly felt robbed. Felt like customer service was awful. Said it would take only 1 hour and somehow ended being 3 hours with me calling back to see if they were done. Honestly would give 0/5. I really wanted to take the clothes back but I went back and forth so much that I had to sell. read more
