Their super high prices seem set for three reasons: they move things to their antique store in Bellefonte. They expect haggling, so they price high. But MOST people don't know this OR HATE to haggle. Be sure you haggle because that's one reason the prices are high!! Lastly, the resellers. They want to get what a reseller might get, on a good day. Therefore pushing out those of us who need affordable used furniture, and probably the resellers. Forget helping the community. Ever since the new management it's a cut throat business. I won't donate here either.

But lo and behold, smack in the middle of High Street you'll find an expansive, thoroughly stocked 2nd hand store. My visit coincided with the beginning of the holiday season so they had an entire section devoted to all sorts of decorative Christmassy things. The variety this place has to offer is what really blew me away. Clothes are a given but it was the VHS supply, home-goods, purses, kitchen-wares and other odds and ends that really surprised me. This isn't a trendy, ironic thrift store that discriminates over what they'll accept. Faithcenter thrift store will pretty much take whatever they can get. That being said you'll have to dig through loads of the-not-that-fantastic to find something worth buying, but that's half the fun anyway!

I went to get a bike since I'm a new graduate student here and need a way to get to campus. First…read moreof all, LS has been closed since March because of COVID-19. They have new limited hours 10-2 Tuesday-Thursday, which is all fine and dandy until you show up at 10am that first Wednesday and the place is so crowded it's almost hard to look at the bikes. I was pretty upset that they could not operate at normal hours so crowds would be more dispersed, or that they had better crowd management and social distancing implemented. For being part of the university, I was extremely disappointed and frustrated just by their handling of COVID that day. I hope it isn't that bad now that all freaks have gone in for the stuff they couldn't get for 6 months. (Keep in mind they do only allow 10 people in the actual building at once, so these 30+ people were outside, way too close to each other and blocking major paths for other shoppers. I only looked at the bikes, of which they had a lot, because they were outside and that's what I needed. ALL of the female adult city bikes were in bad shape. Rusted chains and gears, brakes either way too loose or not connected right, need it replacement tubes and/or tires, and i thought the prices they were asking for them were ambitiously high for needing so many repairs. Some were good quality and appropriately priced but as those things work, none of them were my size or style so I walked away without a bike. Overall a very bad experience for my first time at LS. I expect to go back maybe when they expand their hours and the virus isn't as prevalent, but for now I'm even more upset with the university than before. Oh well.

Great place for hard-to-find furniture and other office items…read more Avoid this place like the plague if you're shopping for older computers and computer accessories, as they have no clue what that junk is worth. However, if you're up for a DIY project and need some sturdy furniture and random items in which to start, you can't beat this place in town. Great location to get old chairs, tables, desks, file cabinets, and other random goodies. If you don't mind a little work on your part, you can restore some of these classics to good, working condition. In the Spring of 2014 I picked up two vintage, black office chairs with wheels. Solid steel frames with steel casters. The underside was dry-rotted away, but the fabric and spring webbing was still in good condition. Probably dates from early 70s or late 60s, I gave those chairs a deep steam cleaning, removed the underside, and polished the chromed steel to a shine. I also picked up a square table with a nice poly-sealed wooden top and a thick, sturdy steel leg in the middle, that branched out to steel cross-legs at the bottom. It looked custom built, not something you'd find from a wholesaler. I bet Penn State's OPP built them, and when they build stuff, it lasts for decades. Wonderfully overbuilt. A deep scrubbing and some polishing was all that was needed for the table.

If you buy here, inspect everything VERY CAREFULLY and know what you are buying in the dressing room before purchase. The hassles ("you have had problems with lululemon items before" and still needing a receipt when they catalogue every purchase) after ignored by the manager when I tried to text about the last one is why I won't return. That and I do not like the way she treats the associates. There are now other places to buy lululemon in State College that offer better quality and service.
