If you've ever wondered what it might feel like to rummage through the forgotten attic of a…read morehoarder, Mother of Junk will answer that question- and then some. With an already generous 1.8 average rating, I naively assumed the bar couldn't possibly be as low as advertised. After sifting through hundreds of dusty pieces of "art", and I use that term with charity, I found myself staring at a selection that included high school diplomas, finger paintings, and several canvases that seemed to have lost a fight with both mold and a Sharpie. It's unclear whether these pieces were abandoned, donated, or simply left on the curb and swept inside, but the result is the same: a museum of mediocrity, priced like MoMA's gift shop. Finally, after unearthing a painting that at least had the decency to resemble actual decor, I politely offered the cashier $20 cash for an item marked $29.99. This is where the experience somehow managed to get worse. She refused outright- not even a token pause to feign consideration- then snatched the painting out of my hands with the kind of hostility usually reserved for airport security confiscating contraband. Her tone could best be described as performatively rude as though she'd been waiting all day for the chance to unleash it on someone. If you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience while shopping for discarded student art at boutique prices, this is your paradise.

The best buffalo exchange. I used to live in Williamsburg and would frequent this location often…read more This week I stopped by while on vacation and scored some gems. The pricing is quite fair. The staff are doing research. As a buyer, you'll pay as much as or slightly less than what is being sold on Poshmark or Depop in my opinion. Sometimes you'll get lucky and a limited piece will be priced at what similar items for that brand would be priced ... and that's the thrill of it all. Great quality items that you get to try on and feel. A lot of new with tag items.

I brought items in as a seller. First-time seller, casual shopper. The mentality of the two behind…read morethe counter going over the clothes is very judgmental. They go piece by piece and engage you in conversation, almost to throw you off guard. There is the tiniest spot on the hem, but I love the pattern. The collar has a bit of a yellow mark but LOVE the shirt. In the end they hand you back most everything and I think to myself it is summer in NYC you gave them a $195 shirt with tags still attached, it is a navy blue collarless cotton shirt and they don't take it? Newsflash counterhelp... not everyone who shops at BE has Kool-aid-colored hair, multiple piercings, torn tops with low-slung jeans, and too much jewelry. Open your eyes. Several years ago, I brought stuff to Tokio 7. It was May. I had a lime green N. Peal cashmere sweater that was brand new. He argued with me that it was the wrong season. I argued back and said, " Take it, and if it doesn't sell, I'll take it back. It sold the next day for full price. In conclusion, they kept a few things..... We can give you $25 cash or $50 in store credit.... Girl, I took the cash and headed out.

Pretty decent selection and store for thrifting. You're able to also come in and sell your clothes…read moreif needed. This is also a rather sizable location which is about the size of a Trader Joe's! Thrifting is a big cultural trend in Brooklyn, and Beacon's Closet here is a formidable choice to do so amongst other stores.i was able to find two winter coats here and was happy with my selection. Thrifting definitely takes time and you have to have the energy to do so in order to dig through racks. However, the prices of thrifting and consignment stores have unfortunately gone up, so I give Beacon's Closet a solid 3.5 stars.

I usually go into vintage and thrift stores with specific styles and pieces in mind, and I can generally find what I want or something similar here because the selection is so extensive! The prices here are very fair too, compared to other stores in the area. Plus, the staff here are very relaxed and kind! I recently came in with my friend who has diabetes so she keeps a pack of candy on her in case her blood sugar gets low. Although food or drink isn't allowed in the store, we explained her condition to the worker at bag check-in and they were very accommodating and allowed her to keep the candy on her.

In the pictures shown I got the white kitten, the flower one, the valentine bunny one, and this candy hipper. (The rhino and Lamb are real and i bought them in Newbury Comics) You can clearly see how they are fakes. It's ridiculous as two sonny's were $32.66. Not once did the girl (cashier) mention that they were fake, i even asked her how often she gets shipment and if they sold them at their actual store in Brooklyn. (i purchased these at their booth in Bryant Park) She even stated that they bring all the good blind boxes to the booth and how it's best to purchase them now rather than later. I hope others see this and don't get scammed how my friend and I did.

I think I'm in the minority here thinking Monk is a decent thrift store. I hate to be this person…read morebut I'll cop to getting skeeved out by used clothing stores because I've read too much about people getting hand foot mouth disease from those bins. Does everyone shop with rubber gloves on in these stores? I don't like the funk that a lot of thrift stores have either. HOWEVER I'm fully on board with not shopping fast fashion and buying second hand being a better alternative, so I'm trying to find a happy medium. At least Monk feels curated such that I don't feel like I have to dig too much before I find something cute. And I saw several cute items at this store. Yes, I usually do spend like $40+ on an item from here but that's less than I'd spend on a new item. I found a gorgeous mesh and beaded dress and a silk skirt that I still cherish from here. You may have to come back regularly to get lucky and find something you like, but I think they have a pretty wide selection of items. Lately I've opted to mostly rent my clothes so I still get the experience of having new clothes without buying new fast fashion but during the occasional thrift sojourn I'll stop in here to browse.
