Second Chance Shop is a very nice thrift store in Simsbury that I heard from my friend Dan about…read more Their hours are limited so be sure to check before you go. Their clothing racks are organized by color and size, and everything is in excellent condition. I however am mostly drawn to their home items, like their plates and dishes. I once picked up eight dessert plates for 15 cents each. None of them had a single scratch or nick. They have a whole bookshelf of hard cover books for just $2.00 each. There's plenty of jewelry, I saw a really cool pair of large pearl earrings, but they were clip ons. They also have some beautiful artwork, that's already framed. This is a lovely thrift store, that I wouldn't skip stopping by!

"One thing I think you should know I ain't gonna miss you…read morewhen you go I'm just second hand news" (Fleetwood Mac) It kind of feels wrong to call the Second Chance Shop a "Thrift Store" because its the GD nicest thrift store I 've ever seen. If there's such a thing as a hgh end thrift store, this is it. It's super organized and gorgeous inside, with jewelry, clothing, household and kitchen accesories and a lot more. The pricing is ridiculously low. I saw $1 books, $5 shirts (one of which I bought), $5 jeans and dress slacks, lots of dresses under $10, and a box of 25 cent greeting cards. They are affiliated with The Village for Families and Children in Glastonbury, Suffield, West Hartford and Simsbury, so all of the store's proceeds go to a great cause. We know we'll be back!

Most of the clothes and shoes were organized by color/size. Don't forget to look at the sign when you enter, items are on sale based on the color of the week/day. The donation box is also inside the store if you wish to donate your items. I found a cute onesie and toddler shirt for $3.70 total. Thrift shopping is like treasure hunting, sometimes you find something good, other times you don't. Overall, a decent thrift shop for a good cause.

Anyone who is into old school thrift shops are in for a treat. It's been in business for many years…read moreand there's a reason for that - great products, customer service, and most importantly, the business reaching out to the community, donations to name one. This place is filled at least with someone's interest, which will make someone stay awhile. It's awesome seeing a store like this be in business for so long. The location is not hard to miss, with the eye appealing red building. Come make a stop while seeing for yourself.

It's hard to consign here. I've done it twice. The first time they said they didn't sell two items…read morebut they couldn't find them when I went to pick them up. You have to search through all the hangers and find your own stuff by the way! So take pictures!!! They ended up giving me money for the items, so I tried again. The second time they didn't call me to tell me if they were taking my things for two days. I had to text them to see what was going on. They aren't very organized. That's hard to trust when I am giving them my designer clothes and bags, some worth thousands of dollars. :/

Here's my list: 45 RPM vinyl singles 33 RPM vinyl albums Eight track tapes Cassette Tapes Compact Disks Digital Downloads As the state of musical technology changed, it left music lovers with a dilemma -what to do with our old purchases if we don't  listen to them anymore in their original format? Years ago, I pitched my cassette and Eight Track tapes (Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye and Superfly by Curtis Mayfield were personal favorites). But I have hundreds of LPs and CDs and really didn't know what to do with them. Until now. Today I sold four of my albums to the Trading Post as a test, and I was very happy with the results. I will be going back with more of my LPs and CDs. I exchanged e-mails with Elise, and then met her at the store and she couldn't have been more personable, helpful, professional, and just plain nice. Trading Post is most interested in 1960's-2000's rock,  reggae, and metal genres. They inspect your records for quality, their inventory and pricing data and give you an offer in either cash or store credit. She researched my four albums while I wandered around the store.  It's crammed with records, CDs, video games, tie dye everything, posters, shirts, blankets and smoking accessories. Elise made me a very fair offer, and that was enough for me to know I'll be back with my CDs and vinyl after the Holidays.
