This store was one of our favorite thrift stores to visit when in Carmel. My Mom, my daughter & I…read morealways payed a visit, however, the last few times, we have noticed some exuberant pricing hikes on their merchandise. I don't know why this is, but is extremely obvious that they are overdoing it. Very dated used garments way over priced. I understand some are good brands but some vests & dresses are priced @ i50$ or more even though they are frayed & worn. I honestly hope they reconsider bc most of my local friends that used to rave about this store, no longer recommend it. Someone in there who is responsible for this very obvious price hikes need to stop it back, you are certainly overdoing it; even with your 50% off days, ITS OVER PRICED!!!!!!!!!

I think it's important to support local nonprofit stores. I give this place two stars because…read moresometimes they have amazing things that are not. I have held off on the review because I thought that my first couple of times was a fluke. I happen to visit the store during one of their 50% sales. I felt very lucky, until I realized that they are charging $28 for a book that is originally $19.99. Sure if it was vintage I'm all for it. It is not vintage. It is as if I walked into a bookstore and purchased it for a dollar off. I think that is astoundingly vile. I would support this bookstore more often, if I did not find that they double their prices from the original price, on items that are not vintage items that have been printed past 2020. Cookbooks, journals, art, books, etc. In addition, they have someone who destroys vintage books by using duct tape to fix bindings. They will take an antique (over 100 yrs) book and use duct tape to keep the covers together and they will have the audacity to charge you as if the book was worth anything after they've done that to it. They will have a little note inside the book that says "Rare Book, etc., etc. repaired and charge you $80 or more and the book looks like a monstrosity. It is not done well. It is not accurate. It is not decent. It is not within boundaries. This is not repair, this is sacrilege. I would rather receive the book bound with a rubber band holding the two covers together and I could take it to a book maker and have it fixed. Once you use that kind of tape on the covers, they are ruined. Do not double the price on modern books at sale times. Do not double the price on books that are not vintage. That is just wrong. Do not try to put 15 books in a paper bag. It's not going to hold. Give more than one bag. If somebody's willing to buy many books, give up some bags. We spent the money we are worth more thane one paper bag. You guys need to work on your customer service.

It's well organized, merchandise is well set up. I worked retail for years so I'm familiar with merchandising. It's important to be able to attract shoppers and make them want to come in and browse the aisles. One thing that is also important is making your shoppers feel welcome. You have a Karen in your store that made shopping uncomfortable. No friendly greeting, just a stare. Being followed--and very obvious about it--was a total turn off. You have a Karen, and she needs to be trained. The big Texas blond wig needs to be taught not to be suspicious of brown people. I have never been treated so rudely and poorly in a retail establishment. This Karen is bad for business.

I walked out with an incredibly rare book and a couple of beautiful dresses and honestly felt like I'd hit the jackpot. I was in heaven.

This time, I scored the cutest Circus Sam Edelman leopard booties for only $15, and they honestly look barely worn. I also picked up several dresses, so it was another successful visit. On top of the great finds, the people who work here are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I'll definitely be stopping again on my way back home.
