    Lejla I.

    I like this place! I collect Ninja turtles so I stop now and then to see what they got and I always walk out with something. They have the best toy collection and memorabilia I've seen. The prices might be a bit high, but since I only come once in a while it's ok.

    I've been to this plaza MANY times, but I've never walked into this store until recently. And I…read moregotta say this place is messy and disorganized. Like VERY messy LOL. I tried to go an hour after they were supposed to be open, but the door was locked. I was about to drive away until I decided to give them a call. A lady picked up and said she'd be there in 5 minutes. I read the other reviews and they were right: this lady was so nice. I didn't feel pressured or anything. She was straight up a very lovely person. BUT THE PLACE WAS SO MESSY LOL. To be fair, I walked in about 2 minutes after they unlocked the doors and the lights were still off, so maybe they haven't had time to set up anything yet. But the place looked like the inside of a shed but with collectibles and cards LOL either way, despite that, I like this place and WILL come back! I came here looking for pokemon cards. No slabs. Booster packs, yes. Singles, yes. ETBs, yes.

    By far, my favorite card shop. Great for Pokemon! All the other shops have switched to other TCGs…read morebut this shop always has some. They have all the other cards as well of course. Prices have remained as reasonable as possible. (All the shops have gone up, but some have gotten very unreasonable). I've always had great service here too. This shop isn't for everyone - I get that. But in a world of scalping, condescending comments, and blatant disinterest; it's refreshing to have a place like this that allows me to continue my hobby without feeling violated by pricing or employees.

I walked in with some GD04 alt arts on May 4th, at 3PM , with the set having been released on April 24th, giving singles ample time to build a selling history and stabililize. I also had a few older alt arts that have stabilized a long time ago. I had the following cards: EXRP-011, EXRP 005 , GD01-0065 LR+, GD04-068 R+, GD04-102 U+, GD04-34 LR+, GD04 002 LR+, and GD04-066 LR+ Now going off of TcgPlayer (the industry standard) , lowest verified pricing, which is significantly lower than market price or last sold, my cards are valued at $260 dollars. I was offered 100 dollars, or 110 store credit , so 38% cash, or 42% store credit , absolutely abysmal and scammer behavior. Now I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt , and offer them a chance to make things right by offering 170 dollars cash, which is 65% of the value, a very fair price Otherwise this review with sources, times, pricing accurate to the day, will be a good warning to others, and I will continue to spread the word in numerous groups about their pricing and willingness to lowball! It is very important to note that the business owner was present ! And he was consulted on this buy in, so if you guys need any more references or details don't hesitate to reach out , I'll happily walk you through every card price and what i believe is a fair value in the industry

    Savers is one of those truly great places to find those vintage and unique items that you never…read morethought you would see again. Savers opened about ten years ago in the South Bay. Since that time it has remained one of the best go-to spots for thrifting in the area. Of all the thrift shops in the South Bay, undoubtedly Savers never ceases to amaze. As can be expected, this thrift store offers all of the things you would expect to find: clothing, shoes, books, records, toys, kitchenware, electronic items, and pretty much everything else you can think of. Plus, they are constantly stocking new items, so every time you go in to this business you're guaranteed to see something new. I know a lot of people talk about the prices at this thrift store. For pretty much all of the items I find them to be very reasonable. In fact, you can truly find some one of a kind items for incredible prices. In terms of the clothing, yes, they are a bit high in their pricing compared to other thrift store chains. For some people, they may not want to spend $12.00 to $20.00 for say a used shirt. Though this is not always the case, a lot of their clothing is fairly expensive. This is just something to keep in mind if you haven't been here before. If you're going to be shopping for clothing at Savers, you've pretty much have got to expect to pay the top dollar for it in terms of the used market. This is a necessarily bad or good, and it isn't a criticism, it's just the way Savers operates. Overall, this is a truly good shop. I can't say enough about this place and the staff here are always super nice and friendly. Overall, it's one of my favorite places to thrift. You never know what you're going to find. I know I have found some truly incredible items at this store.

As I went to checkout an employee came over and asked if they could help me use the self checkout I explained I would rather wait for the employee who was at the standing register where they controlled the transaction as I know you cannot price check on the self checkouts and I was buying multiple glassware items and vases I needed wrapped. She said okay then when the employee at the register finished with her transaction she walked away from the register I explained why I wanted to use the register ran by the employee not self checkout and she didn't even let me finish but said I'd have to be helped by self checkout denying my request when I stood and watched her check out 2 other customers that way. As we were at the self checkout register and the prices were coming up I asked for things to be taken off as again there is no price check option she had to click several buttons and type in her employee and badge number each time making the process much longer, then started walking away when the transaction was complete I asked her to wrap my items and lo and behold all the wrapping equipment came from the register she was refusing to help me on. She then had to walk back and forth between where she took me to the self checkout and where the original register was with all the supplies I asked if she wanted to move back there to make it easier but she said no. While I was waiting for her to wrap my items 2 other customers who came to the line asked to be checked out by a person at a register rather than the self system and even though there were 3 employees standing at the self checkout registers they were both told no as well. This is the only craft store left now and I get extremely frustrated at each checkout. They have so many home decor items and things that need to be packaged when you leave it's not crazy to prefer to have an employee help you and give you those options. I had reached out to the store the last time I had a similar experience and was told that employee assisted checkout is always available upon request and that they were looking into it and making changes yet this was my first time back and it was the same if not worse. Highly disappointed in the lack of customer service and made to feel like a burden each time I try to checkout which is a shame as the selection and products are top tier. I love how the store is laid out and organized but I have walked away without buying things several times and even thought about it for this experience as well but decided to stick it through as the items were unfortunately needed in the space I am decorating. Hope they can finally do better at checkout to make me WANT to come back not just need to.
