First, there's an older gentleman with white hair, a white mustache and beard, who was one of the friendliest individuals I have witnessed. There was an older woman standing by the entrance. He organized some chairs that were near the entrance and told her if she wanted to sit that she could sit there. She was surprised at this gesture and very grateful. As I shopped throughout the store, I came across all of his hard work. He was always busy, grabbing things from the back and stocking them in the front. And I have to get a shout out to the guy who was working the register. There was an enthusiastic, maybe 5 or 6 year-old boy talking about his dinosaurs to the cashier. The cashier met him with equal enthusiasm and it was just nice to see human kindness in action. They also have some pretty good finds here. I found some BALLY work pants, Danier Leather pants, and a pair of Rothy's. None of them were my size, unfortunately, so I didn't buy them. If there are any avid resellers out there or anyone who likes a good thrift find, this is definitely a place to stop.

There are many consignment booths to wander through chock full of vintage and antique goodies. It's like walking around in the past. You'll have a smile on your face as you go down memory lane. I was looking around for garden decorations specifically. Sadly, I didn't see anything that I had to bring home, but it sure was fun looking. Prices seemed a bit high for me, but perhaps not for others. The employees were very friendly and available to open locked cabinets and answer questions. Will I return? Sure!

I've dropped off donations at this location countless times over the years, and this was the first time I had someone walk up to my car and offer to help me unload my donations and kindly point me to the correct bins for where to place things (electronics, household goods, clothes, bags, shoes, etc). He also asked if I wanted my bags back and if I needed a donation receipt. The last time I donated items here, there was a guy working who practically screamed at me "No hangers!" to which I responded, "Sorry, I didn't know." - I put the bag of hangers back in my car but he definitely didn't need to yell angrily. So this visit was 100 times better, thanks to Deshawn. Goodwill, I hope you acknowledge the great and kind employee he is! Friendly tip: I had fragile wine glasses, pint glasses, and ceramic mugs to donate and I wrapped each item in packaging paper and bubble wrap and placed them in an open box. I was told this was a great way to donate fragile items so they don't break. The back parking lot where the donation drop off is located can get tricky to drive in/out of if there are more than few cars back there. It's basically a small loop with about 6 spots in the center. And when people are walking back and forth from their cars and the donation bins and cars are trying to exit or pull in, it can get dicey so a little patience will help!

My guess is that we have bought at least 80 separate things from the HCC since 2020. We have countless happy endings. Most recent was a maple dining table with 8 chairs for $349 + delivery. It replaced a smaller table and 6 chairs I bought from IKEA 40 years ago. HCC sold it in 2 days for $399, which paid me $200. So the new set cost me $149 + delivery! We are saddened by their decision to close the Campbell store. If they find a way to stay open - buy the building, find a rational landlord - we will happily return. If not, we wish the crew there the best.

STORE IS CLOSING JUNE 30…read more WOW! I had a scheduled pickup for 6/5 and thank goodness I called the store beforehand. During the call, I was informed that they are no longer accepting consignments because the store is closing. What is frustrating is that no one contacted me to let me know about this change. Had I gone ahead with the pickup and the item didn't sell by June 21, I would have been responsible for picking it up myself. Since the original pickup cost me $100, that's money I would have spent for nothing. This is important information that customers should be proactively notified about, especially when it could affect their decision to consign an item. A simple phone call, email, or text would have prevented a lot of confusion and inconvenience. Very disappointed with the lack of communication.

Spent a rainy Sunday afternoon exploring this shop. It's a large antique store with many booths…read morethat offer a good variety of items. Lots of mid-century modern furniture and decor. They also have knick knacks, jewelry, pottery, toys, art, and more. The store was quite busy with customers while I was there. It was nice to see. The staff was friendly and helpful, quickly opening glass cases when I wanted to see something. Their inventory is so large I found it difficult to see everything in one visit. Their prices are reasonable. I ended up buying some California pottery, a framed floral print, and an MCM trinket dish. I'm looking forward to returning and taking another look around the store. There is a parking lot in the back of the building. Note: Some vendors have modern items mixed in with their antiques. A quick Google image search before you buy is a good idea if you care about the age of an item.

I have attended the White Elephant Sale since I was 12, and now at 26 I feel that the sale has…read morediminished in quality, quantity, value, and overall experience. The White Elephant sale has honestly felt very different since 2020. Before the pandemic, there were walk up donations, the warehouse was always full, and the March sale was still packed with treasures to be found. Now the warehouse feels empty even during preview, all walk up and drive up donations have been eliminated, and the March sale is advertised as a "clearance sale" because of how empty the warehouse is. Stopping walk up and drive up donations has seriously hurt the sale. The number of small trinket items to be found is much smaller than it used to be. While there may be costs saved by not having to sort through and discard items that are not sellable, is the loss of profit from not having those smaller items greater? People like me used to donate all the time to the sale, but now donate to thrift stores that have walk up and drive up options instead. How many other people also have a bag full of great items but are not donating them because pickup donations are the only option? I have also found that in recent years the staff has become less and less kind. This year there was not a single visit to the warehouse that was not met with rude or unprofessional behavior by volunteers. That is not to say there are not wonderful volunteers, because I have had great experiences as well, but the number of negative interactions I have had seems to be increasing. I have been accused of stealing, had snarky comments made toward me, and have been accused of price switching. It has gotten to the point where going to the White Elephant is no longer bringing me joy, and it is difficult to see volunteers act with such low levels of kindness. You often emphasize being kind to volunteers, but shoppers deserve that same level of kindness and respect. One thing that stands out when it comes to how empty the warehouse has been, as well as the general morale of the volunteers, is the changing culture of reselling. I recognized dealers from Alameda Point and various antique markets as new volunteers, which makes me wonder if they are partially contributing to the diminished quality and quantity of items this year. In the past, almost all volunteers seemed to be there because they believed in the mission of the Oakland Museum. Now it appears that some newer volunteers may be more motivated by making money. It also raises the question that if they are pricing items they later purchase, were those items priced fairly? Especially when their ultimate goal is to resell items and make money. In addition, there seems to be a lack of willingness to receive feedback. As another reviewer mentioned, it can feel like the organization operates under the idea that because it is for charity and run by volunteers, feedback should not be given. That approach is simply unsustainable. I attempted to provide feedback both in person and on Instagram and was met with very combative responses. This is confusing, as feedback is essential when running such a large sale, and experiences like that make me hesitant to return. I have heard from others that the White Elephant has been "cleared out" this year. Without the return of more casual donations, stronger screening of volunteers, and limitations on what volunteers are able to purchase during presale events, the White Elephant will likely continue to decline. As a loyal shopper, I truly hope the organization will begin taking feedback seriously and consider changes that can help bring the sale back to its former glory.

This is a great little thrift store with kind and welcoming staff who always make you feel at home…read more The shop can get a little warm depending on the weather outside, but that doesn't take away from the experience. They carry a little bit of everything like clothing, home goods, books, and small pieces of furniture. I've been lucky enough to find something useful or unique each time I visit. The furniture especially has been a pleasant surprise, with prices that are incredibly affordable. Like most thrift stores, it can be hit or miss, but that's part of the fun. It's exciting to see what new things they've brought in and it keeps me coming back. I really appreciate that this place is part of a bigger mission and supports a cause that gives back to the community. That makes every purchase feel even better. The location is also great. There are a bunch of antique and vintage shops on the same side of the street within a couple of blocks, so it's easy to spend an afternoon exploring and hunting for treasures. Free street parking in the area is a nice bonus and makes it convenient to stop by anytime.

They direct you to where the items go and if requested will help with unloading your stuff. They do provide receipts if you want one. The parking area towards the donation side is a bit tight and can get busy over the weekend. I want to give a shout out to Isaac who was so pleasant and very helpful. He helped unload my car with so much energy and friendliness- makes you want to keep finding things to donate just because of how pleasant he made the process. In comparison, I dropped off my donated items this morning (Monday) and Chris was rather surly at first. He chided me for not parking in the lane - there was no one near me and I was there right when they opened. I re-parked my car to be sure I was between the lines! I asked for assistance and he finally did help after I made about 3 trips back and forth to my car. Night and day in the help service at Goodwill. Overall they do have nice staff and do make the donating process simple and fast.

Seeing that this location is in the heart of Silicon Valley, my label expectations were on the higher side. Hoped for Vuori (none) but found loads of Lululemon, Athleta and Gym Shark. Pricing is comparable to San Francisco price tags, but the store is far better organized and much cleaner than its city counterparts. No dressing rooms but there are a few mirrors at end-caps so wear appropriate undergarments if you'd like to do a public try on. 7 day return policy with tags attached and receipt (standard). Spent about an hour and found and took home Beyond Yoga, Seasalt Cornwall, S' Max Mara, Alex Mill and AYR jeans - spent a little over $70 for five items. Yes, pricing is high but in my opinion, level of labels and clothing conditions reflected the cost. Would I visit again? Yes if I am in the area and have some free time, otherwise, I find the same level of goods in San Francisco. My one critique is that although they do have specific color tag sales, the discount is only 20% off unlike in SF where it is 50% off.
