Overall my experience with SF thrifting so far is that there's quite poor bang for your buck…read more Fashion exchange is unfortunately another such store. Their shop was so packed with clothing that I noticed a sign on the window saying that they were no longer accepting donations, they were full. And with their prices and the quality of the pieces, I don't think they will be making room any time soon. They did have some interesting and unique pieces, as well as a small collection of designer goods, but everything was genuinely so expensive. They did have a lot of harnesses, fishnets, and sparkly dresses that might work if you were looking for performance or costume pieces. I walked out after about 15 min of increasingly astounded perusing with no plans to return.

While I have an attractive and youthful demeanor, and a rocking hot bod, I realized that most of my…read moreshirts are cropped. And well, I'm in my 30s so that's weird. EVERYTHING can't be cropped. I did a major closet clean out and expunged my SHEIN, crop tops and prized clothes that fit in my 20s that I can no long mash my plump buns into. 2026 is going to be the year I turn into a fine auntie who wears quality materials. But I had 2 garbage bags full of clothes that had to go, including the fur coats my aunt gave me from this old dead person she befriended (she befriends rich Caucasian people near the end of their life, and I usually get the hand-me-downs, including some wonderful Egyptian cotton sheets!) Enter Buffalo Exchange, a way I could get rid of all my crap and also exchange it for better crap. Every day Buffalo exchange buys clothes, all day. In the olden days you had to just show up and wait, but in the digital age, you can go on their website and sign up ahead of time and it will let you know what the estimated wait time is! I've done that twice & the first time it worked out really well for me, but the second time the website threw me off the waitlist right before it was my turn. Luckily the workers were reasonable and still took me. The wait times IRL can be longer than the website suggests because people like me bring in garbage bags full of clothes, so don't plan to be in a rush. While waiting, you can peruse their assortment of clothes. If you're selling clothes, you get store credit worth 50% of what the clothes would sell for, or you can get 25%, so if you find something you like and you're a selling clothes, it's worth it to opt for store credit. I bought so much stuff The first time I didn't make any money from those fur coats! All in all, I'd say it's a great way to both clean out your closet and exchange it for clothes that better suit your lifestyle. We really should be stepping away from fast fashion and Thrifting is a great way to get a unique piece that nobody else has!

I started looking at shirts and they had amazing selection on several different brands. The second thing I noticed were the out of this world prices. Immediately I started trying in merchandise and got great and honest feedback from staff on how shirts looked. SOLD! Hands down the quality and price of shirts couldn't be beaten. Ended up buying five items for under $100. Actually $72 total! Amazing price for what I got as you'll see in the pics. The clincher was knowing it was family owned. Amy the owner and her brother Andy helped me every step of the way and I'll be a customer from now on. The store is new so head over there introduce yourself and buy! To let you know I got two LL Bean flannel shirts, a vintage Levi shirt I immediately put on to hit the town, a Cal pullover and Carmel by the Sea sweatshirt. I was a happy camper!

I had overheard someone outside the store say that this store was one of the better Goodwills in the Bay Area for both quality of merchandise and how much volume the store would sell. It felt like a real find and how lucky we all were to have this store in West Portal. But now, all of the jewelry, merchandising, and consideration for how people want to shop is all gone. Now there is hardly any good stuff; it's just racks and racks of sub-par clothes. It's hard to walk around in the store or find anything. You want to spend less and less time in there. As a result I haven't purchased anything in there in ages. It needs to be re-named because it's not a boutique anymore. It's a mess.

They are a clothing-forward thrift store with some shelves of kitchenwares and a section with furniture. The clothes are well organized and generally in ok shape.

I didn't get anything during my trip but I'll be sure to check them out next time I'm in the area again!

A woman was buying storage bins in front of me for $18 each. Funny that I bought the same ones at Lowe's for $9. I said nothing, to support the cause we can all throw in a bit more. And then the wait to pay. I hung out for 15 minutes, when the cashier finally acknowledged me. About 10 minute's later, he finally finished with the customer and got to me. The sign on the front of the counter says that "no bills over $50 are accepted." I gave him a $50. (ATMs give them and it was all I had.) He said he can't take it. It was all I had, and the sign says nothing over a $50 accepted, soooo? He said he would make an exception this time and I should remember it for the future. I was just a blob to him, he listening to a word I said. The only thing I'll remember for the future is that I waited nearly a half hour for a used jacket and was reprimanded for paying for it with money that their own sign says they accept. I think this cause isn't one I'm as invested anymore, at least not at this store.

The whole shoe began to degrade, the heel and hard sole began their slow journey away from the straps and soft inner sole of the shoe, with no regard for my comfort. Luckily, this place was open, yup at 1:30 am!, and the gentlemen who was working that night of the 25th was very helpful! My friend and I got some shoes in our size, like 7 and 7.5, and were so extremely grateful for the existence of this store and it's hours! I don't get why that Walgreens doesn't sell flip flops or something, but I wouldn't have experienced this very hip and awesome store if it did.
