Consignments are considered only between 10 a.m. and 12 noon which I found out when I arrived at 12:30. Items must be neatly ironed and placed on hangars to be considered. No specific type hangar is identified but you better ask. Only 10 items will be accepted and they must be listed by the consignor on a form provided by the ladies of the shop. I believe blue or black ink is acceptable but check. Several volunteers who operate this establishments are friendly and accommodating, others are on a power trip. Tread cautiously.

May come back and donate some items!

A thousand stars!…read more My friend and I made the mistake of arriving just under two hours before they closed. I wish we had given ourselves more time, because you need it here! We started by visiting the bird and reptile sanctuary, which was both really sad but also really nice. The folks working there were friendly and informative. We also enjoyed visiting the goats outside. The book geodesic dome is very cool, and the tchotcke camper was fun to poke around in. Very sad we didn't have time for the Christmas airstream. Inside there is a case, which was closed by the time we got to it. Another reason we should have arrived earlier. It's next to an old books room, which I loved. I just want to sit in there and read. The mounted stuffed animal heads were a nice touch. The lower level also has a huge amount of stuff, but it's super well organized. I wish, when I was young and moved into my first apartment, I could have gone to a place like this to get all of my home furnishing and kitchen things. Upstairs is more like a traditional thrift store with clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc. Everything here is so inexpensive!! I bought five books, two shirts, a pair of earrings, and two greeting cards for $24. I would have bought waaaaaay more stuff if I had time to browse longer and more thoroughly. The only other warning I have aside from the amount of time this place needs in order to fully experience it is that it is rather dusty inside. When I go back--and I will--I will take an allergy pill or wear a mask. Can't recommend this amazing and unique place enough!

DO NOT consign your collectibles here and expect an amicable business relationship. Very unpleasant…read moreexperience with rude , dishonest, greedy people with shady business practices. I was assured transparency when I opened my account. I asked for details on my account and they tried to intimidate me several times. Month after month my items were missing and very little, to zero money on my account. If I wanted to donate my items I would have chosen a reputable charity. I give respect and I expect the same. Luckily, I took photos of my items and was able to squeeze some respect out of them.

I've been a customer of Cindy's Unique Shop since 2015, and it's truly my favorite store. Whenever…read moreI'm shopping for gifts or home décor, this is the first place I go. The selection is unique, the quality is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. I have quite eclectic taste, so it's rare to find items that match my style in typical stores. But at Cindy's, I've found everything from a stunning handmade Japanese tapestry and a Chinese enamel cabinet to Portuguese crystal, Waterford and Belleek pieces from Ireland, and whimsical finds like a brass monkey lamp and a brass elephant table (yes, I actually own both--LOL). You simply won't find this kind of variety anywhere else in the area. I've also consigned items with Cindy's and found the process straightforward and professional. The contract is clear, detailed, and easy to follow--they even provide a copy for your records. If any questions come up, a quick call to their friendly, helpful staff always clears things up. What I especially value is that this small business is woman-owned and family-run. That really matters to me, and it makes supporting them all the more meaningful.

As others have said, they ARE truly, "the pickiest shop!!" I chose them because they're local to me…read more& run like a cute boutique. Unlike another non-profit shop I consign with, MR is merchandised & marketed on social media. For those reasons, I felt my items had a good chance of selling. Their biggest downside...I've been frustrated for too long bringing my things there, having good items denied. I've brought brand new or worn twice, stylish items that got denied. It's almost become a joke when I go in. They've tried to point out a "DOT", their favorite word. 'You see that little dot there" "Sorry it's really cute but due to the quality, we're going to have to pass"....you can NEVER see their infamous "dots!!" Once they discussed a tiny "area" on a print top I brought in, between them, back & forth for 15 min...it was clearly part of the print design, this tiny, faint, tan part of the floral design they "jussssst weren't sure wasn't a "spot"...it clearly wasn't! Denied! Meanwhile, I see worn, faded tops on their racks, not nearly in as good condition or stylish as my items. I've brought in name brands they always sell there, in perfect condition, albeit used, that they deny. Molly Rose...you DO know you ARE a USED clothing store, right? Twice I've seen tops I'd also owned at one time, that they charged more for than I bought it for brand new! I will say, my one better experience was with the owner herself, who was much more customer friendly and while selective, better at choosing items. For the heck of it, that day I had brought in a necklace that had previously been denied, for seemingly no good reason, as they had others like it...the owner liked it and took it immediately! Unfortunately, she's been there choosing items only once in my 3 years consigning. I've also bought items in the past there, so I've been a customer too....but I'm done wasting my time consigning with them.
