R and B Collections is a thrift store located in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Metered street parking is…read moreavailable. It is right around the corner from the up and coming F.A.T Village Arts District. It's a family owned business so if you see something you want to haggle about you can speak directly to the owners. Sometimes they aren't there so just call before you come down. The two rooms of the store are filled with an eclectic mix of stuff like jewelry, instruments, clothing, home items, and collectibles. I was interested in the art but it was jammed so tightly in the shelf I couldn't really see it. I think the most unusual item I saw was a ship's porthole. I heard the owners son tell a customer that they had even more things in the back and to come again when his father was back from his fishing trip. If you are looking for something specific it is probably just best to ask them about it. I didn't find anything but I had fun looking. The wife who was working was very sweet. Inventory changes based on what they purchase so you can check in to see new things.

store is now closed, owners retired. You May call for appointment for store liquidation.read more

The American Thrift location in Lauderhill is my ultimate favorite thrift store location to go to…read more FYI I live in Miami and travel 47 miles to get to this store. I love the great selection of clothes, shoes and accessories this store has curated. Staff are always helpful and friendly. I highly recommend going to Maria, the (Lead Cashier) at the Lauderdale store. Maria is very efficient, patient, friendly, kind & always making my thrifting experience pleasant & fun. Working in customer service is never an easy task but the fact the Maria can provide phenomenal customer service, and the ability to manage difficult and rude customers while always remaining calm, profession and smiling is her virtue. I LOVE this location and only come to this location because of Maria plus thrill of thrifting is to find unusual and unique pieces that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Don't walk RUN to American Thrift in Lauderdale and ask for Maria!!!!

Stopped by and found a set of broken dumbbells that were clearly marked "AS IS" with a handwritten…read moreprice of $5 on the plastic wrapping holding the set together. After waiting about 20 minutes in the 7-items-or-less checkout line, cashier Noemi refused the sale claiming there was "no price" despite the visible handwritten $5 marking. What was more frustrating was that she took the item from me, brought it to the back to the manager, then returned without the item and both refused the sale. The item was already damaged and labeled AS IS, so the refusal made little sense. Very poor communication and customer service experience, especially after the long wait. Disappointing experience over a $5 item that was clearly marked. Not coming back again.

Dania Beach used to have a wonderful antique row but it seems to be disappearing. I spotted this…read morestore on the strip one day and wanted to check it out. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building. Unfortunately I had a very disappointing visit to Barber Jo Collectibles which started at the front door where I was told I had to put a mask on even though every other business in Florida stopped requiring masks for many months now. Once inside it looks like this business belongs to a hoarder. You can barely navigate the aisles crammed from floor to ceiling. There were interesting things but nothing was priced. I inquired about a mineral oil lamp I was curious about but couldn't get any indication of a price. I doubt it could have been reached anyway. The best thing I got out of this visit was the sales person telling me to go to the Cooper City Antique Mall which I did and was actually able to buy a few things. This place seems more like a museum for the items belonging to Barbee Jo. If you want to just look and you are able bodied then by all means come for a look but remember a mask. My experience was that they did not give off the feeling of actually wanting to sell anything.

We love coming here. Since the pandemic, we haven't been back. Today, we were driving close by and…read moredecided to stop. The place is packed with all sorts of things. It's hard to see everything there. From the antique to a kind of junk, you name it. I had to take one star as the owner still mandate the face mask.

We both immediately saw this beautiful blown glass chandelier in the window & agreed we wanted it for our home. We called the next day & spoke with the owner Robert. He was so kind & informative about the chandelier. We made arrangements to come back & make the purchase. In the interim we did some online research and found we were getting an amazing price for the chandelier compared with online vendors & auction houses. When we returned to make the purchase, Robert & his husband took special care to package the chandelier & glass carefully for our transport home. This was our first antique / vintage shopping experience & we feel hooked already ! Definitely check out this shop if you're in the area & looking for some cool & unique items.

Though crowded with items, a different piece everywhere you look, the displays and setups are definitely professional with some really great antique as well as decorator items. And as if that isn't enough, it's also a Yelp friendly place. Using my Yelp check in, up popped a Yelp notice telling me I was entitled to a 10% discount. Of course it's not just the discount but I am sure as with everyone else, we all prefer doing our business with a Yelp friendly establishment.

Everything is separated by color not size so to find something you have to look through ALL 50 pairs of jeans, or 40 black shirts etc. there is a ton of stuff. Could not even get to a 1/3 of it. The employees are putting things away and constantly trying to take clothes out of people's baskets to hang back up!! Then at 6:30 all of a sudden one lady as my niece is in the changing room starts yelling no more no more and telling me to leave the area i told her my niece is in the room. She was "shooing" me away. I told her again. Then she turned to another employee and said in Spanish " this b*tch doesn't even know English". But guess what? I am fluent in Spanish. And i told her so in not so many words. Then her attitude changed. TOO LATE!!! Very pushy. Lots of stuff but overwhelming and rude staff. Will not go again.

I initially went to the location in Wilton Manors and dropped off 1/4 of my closet since I have…read morebeen holding on to clothes since 2007 up until last year from my travels. Quality clothes!! Another reason was that I wanted to get tested but unfortunately, they were closed on Sundays which was disappointing since the website said they opened till 6pm. Regardless I drove to Ft Laud, got my test and why did I not leave? I ended up buying shoes, brand new cups for my drinks that I can carry to work, a wooden chopping board, Christmas decorations, and vintage signs. I had a ball. I'm inspired to declutter some more because I know my small contribution is going to a good cause versus dropping it off at a regular thrift store. The staff was super nice. I mean super!! Even when I got tested, the person took the time to go over so many things I didn't know and was very much educated on, and will be visiting the following Sunday to discuss. There's such a stigma around HIV, getting tested, and talking about these in my community but these are real issues that need to be spoken about openly. I'm so appreciative of this organization and will only be donating to the closet.

Today was a thrift shop hunt with some light eats in Fort Lauderdale. The name "Out of the Closet"…read moreis a metaphor or idiom, it's one of them but really not sure which. The thrift shop has a wide open floor plan with low racks for easy navigation through the inventory. Plenty of gently used clothing with corner displays of household goods. I found an incredible skulls and roses 2X collar shirt for only $12.00, but of course it was manufactured in China and my arms could not push through the sleeves - this is a common issue for me. Good supply of Halloween ornaments and Pride costumes. All items are priced very reasonably. The shop offers a clinic for free HIV testing including a full service pharmacy. The thrift shop is a non-profit business and all proceeds go toward AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
