This had to be the weirdest thrift store experience I have ever had. We were drawn to the shop by…read moregoogle and the zen name & signs out front. At first we thought it was closed because all of the lights were off. But the main door was unlocked and we entered. There was 3 people sitting at the table in the middle of the store - they stared us down but didn't say a word. We wondered the entire store which was primarily books, movies/dvds/VHS & furniture, with a few odds and ends. I think my definition of "gift store" is different than theirs because I didn't see much that I would categorize in that department. The odor in this store was the usual thrift store aroma, with a splash of...something very unpleasant. We saw what looked like a music venue in the back with a few guys talking really loudly from that area. After wondering the store, we started to work our way to the front when one of the gentleman practically ran to follow us out. When we looked back at him, he pulled out his key and dangled it indicating he was locking the door behind us, still not saying a single word to us. Out of probably 5 people in that store, not a single one said anything to us. If they were closed, they should have locked the door behind them - it was Saturday late morning.... I would label this more as a used book/music/movie store. I definitely won't waste my time here again. Such a weird experience!

I was also here on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 to shop around. It is on Beverly Drive, right across the parking lot from the Carson City Senior Center, and in the same complex as Carson City Health & Human Services on East Long Street. There were many dignitaries here, such as Carson City Ward 2 Supervisor Brad Bonkowski, who spoke briefly, and Mayor Pro Tem and Supervisor Lori Bagwell. There was also someone from the Carson City Chamber of Commerce. They had a short ribbon cutting ceremony with gigantic scissors in front of their new sign. Then the first 100 people got a free hot dog, two cookies (oatmeal, chocolate chip, or vanilla chip), and a (warm) water. Donations to Meals on Wheels were optional. The woman volunteer at the end seemed kind of ornery to me, but oh well. The volunteer when I drove up was really nice, as was the employee there when I went in March. They also had a 50% off sale today in the thrift store on everything except books. As part of the new name, they also got new larger signs for the donation station and entrance. And they now reserve a parking spot for donations in front of the donation station. After I ate my hot dog, I went inside. It was very busy and they had two people manning the cash registers. They have different sections for different things, such as furniture, men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, trinkets, boutique items, and electronics. My one complaint about this store it it is expensive for used items. $200 for a very small kitchen table for two, $100 for a sofa, $15 for a beat-up office chair, $10 for an old chartreuse file cabinet that looks like it is from the 70's, etc. Clothing is more reasonable, but still a little expensive. I do get that is for a good cause and they have overhead, but I still think it is a little expensive. I mean people are giving away sofas for free on craigslist. The store is always looking for volunteers, so please consider that. They also take Apple Pay, which is a little surprising for a thrift store. Parking is very easy, as there are plenty of space in front. I would give this store three stars due to the prices, but I will leave four since it is for a good cause.

As I've taken my guilty pleasure of thrifting rather than buying new, I stumbled across one of the…read moretop independent thrift stores to serve the capital city of Nevada. Located on the right hand side of eastbound Highway 50 and about a mile east of Highway 580 in Carson City, "Classy Seconds Thrift Shop" has been one of the main go-to thrift stores dating back to the late-1990's. Since I do not live in this area, this was my first opportunity as I got to check this place out which was during the afternoon on Friday 6/19/2026 at around 2:45pm. The location itself is not hard to miss as the building is very visible from the main highway. To actually get into the dedicated parking lot involves having to turn right on Brown St. and make another right on Gordon St. where the main entrance is. Since this is a fairly sizable and open space area, parking should never be an issue, no matter what day or time you come. The building itself is a clay grey shade complete with avocado green lettering. And for those wondering, they are open 7 days a week; Monday-Saturday from 10am-6pm and Sunday from 10am-5pm. Once inside, you will see how spacious the layout is with approximately 10,000 square feet of floor space and ample room to walk with a shopping cart. As for the variety of items that are offered, this place carries everything from mens/womens/kids clothing, shoes, houseware items, books, CDs/DVDs, furniture, small appliances, seasonal items, knick/knacks, and accessories. The one real advantage is that the prices here are quite competitive and even lower than the bigger major chain thrift stores such as Goodwill and Salvation Army. During my visit, I ended up buying a few summer polo shirts while my lady bought some mason jars and a small office organizer for her cubicle at work. Best of all, the money donated to this business helps support advocates to end domestic violence and services for survivors of family violence and victims of sexual assault. This goes hand-in-hand since the "Sexual Assault Response Advocates" (SARA) building is directly next door to Classy Seconds. With above average customer service, a decent selection of items, and very affordable prices, I am giving "Classy Seconds Thrift Shop" an above average four-star rating.

But I seldom get upset and today I…read moregot angry enough to close my truck gate and tell them out back that my donations will never come here again. For the past month, we have donated thousands of dollars in new and used items. After speaking with a manager about all the stuff we were about to bring. And explaining we had 2 warehouses full, She was greatful and said bring it. and we began. Truck loads of holiday items new in boxes. Housewares, furniture, books, camping equipment, sporting equipment and the list goes on. Today August 21, 2026 we arrived at 10am to donate another load of housewares, China sets meaning several, more linens, utensils, furniture, medical equipment, lawn care equipment and more. As we pulled up, a new kid said we had too much stuff? My wife told him to go ask since we arranged large loads. A woman with a walky talky came out and said she sees dust on a piece of China and then points out a hair on the outside of a velvet bag with fine China in it and said she will not accept our load because it is not shelf ready? WTF. I told my wife that we were done now and I just had to leave because of laziness on these people. There racks outside were completely empty which makes me wonder how many people were being turned away. All month we were greeted with kindness and thanked for our donations. Today we were pretty much told we did not have shelf ready stuff. All in boxes and bags so it could not be seen to make that call. What I heard was that classy seconds no longer needed donations unless they were in pristine condition which ours was. I think of the name classy seconds and it should be classy first cause I was pretty much told my stuff was not good enough All of a sudden. We got in our truck and went across the street to Goodwill. They literally told us it would take a bit because they had to go through every bag and box and basket. We had to take back a bag of lightbulbs. That was it and the girl thanked us and told us that this load of stuff we delivered was the best items they had seen all week. It took 15 minutes to go through all of it. Bye bye un-classy-??? I feel bad for the people you could have helped with our stuff and we still have a warehouse full to go. So took your advise Lisa, on your comments. We loaded another truck full this morning and went to donate again. It was about 11:30 and as soon as we got out of truck, a young girl told us again that we could not donate any items unless they were shelf ready. And another young man told other donors the same thing. But my wife explained to her what happened yesterday and that you responded to our post and that items did not need to be shelf ready and you encouraged us to come back. She then said OK and took everything with a smile and very courteous.

Seems like the pin might be dropped in the wrong location but it's close to the location (right by…read morethe drive-thru coffee shop) so I'm going to assume this is the correct place. This was a very large grocery store sized building that had automatic slider doors. Inside appeared to be many many booths and venders but most were not attended. (Prices were as marked and I'm assuming you checkout at the front?). I saw weird and bizarre thrifts from a coffin made for a set of twin men to a literal taxidermied bear for like $15K, to standard antiques like coins and trains, and of course items like figurines, corningware Pyrex dishes, and various decor. Definitely check out the whole store before you make a purchase as I did see a few venders have the same (or very similar) items. Fun to pop in. Plus they have shopping carts which was great for plopping our toddler in as we looked around a little more confidently with her contained (the $5 beanie babies are a decent buy to keep a little one happy while you take your time shopping).
