Very nice little independent vintage shop! The clothes are pretty pricey (as all vintage is though) but they have the best little nick nack small gifts area by the front! Pick up 2 very neat small fridge magnet handmade made by an artist in Idaho made to look vintage Pyrex bowl so cute, I'm obsessed! The staff does seem a bit stand off-ish the times I've gone in, but still a very cute little local shop! read more

This is the best vintage store ever! So many one of a kind, cool looking items! Their inventory changes often because things go so quickly but believe me you'll leave with something amazing!! read more

Great Selection and Sami was very helpful. Pointed me in the right direction and gave me great suggestions! Will be back!

Always love stopping by ransack when i'm in the area, staff is friendly and they have a really great collection of true vintage. The women's section is definitely a bit better than the men's but i've always been able to find good stuff here. Especially love their childrens vintage selection with some really great pieces for the kids read more

Love, love, love this place. The selection is unique and is a really cool western hip vibe and is priced reasonably -- saw an amazing 90s Coach backpack with genuine leather for $100 last time I was there. Great location and nice folks working the register. Definitely check it out! read more

What a cool little shop with lots of great items! This is a vintage spot and not a thirft store so keep that in mind. This is usually not my type of store but I was surprised that there were several things that I would buy. I love that they sell Craft and Foster candles which smell amazing!!! They don't just sell clothing they also sell some houseware items, accessories, soaps, and modern stuff. I love to support small local businesses so I had to stop by and show some love. If you see something that you like go ahead and buy because it's not a guarantee that it'll be there next time or they might not have your size. The place is very well organized with tons of great items from vintage to modern. Great job Ransack very well done! read more

My least favorite vintage shop in oceanside. I've given this place so many chances but every time I'm in this store the employees don't even say hello, they stand around and talk to each other, no one offers help or assistance and when you help yourself to a fitting room they treat you like a thief or you're bothering them. Some cute stuff but if it's not stained or snagged it's priced way too high ($200+). Don't waste your time here! read more

True vintage! Lots of western wear but also everything vintage in between! Kids clothes, home wares to two piece swimwear from the 50's-70's! Fun to visit and grab a branded tee or shop for the true vintage aficionado. read more

One has to love the name of this vintage and handcrafted goods shop! While waiting for food, at the neighboring restaurant we like to visit, I hurriedly browsed the store, without causing any damage... I came upon things, such as an incredible vintage dress. Of course, I didn't steal anything other than a business card from the owner, Scout, who introduced herself and shared her vision of her new business, which just opened the day prior to my visit. One can plunder through the boots, hats and scarfs. Racks of vintage clothing for women, men and children and some new things blended into the mix. A nice size selection of denim is here. Fitting rooms are available and thankful there is no denuding of mannequins. I'm happy to say I did not see one in sight. I would prefer a bust form any day. It's mostly vintage here after all. The owner plans to put in a creative space and rent it out for workshops, etc. I didn't purchase anything on my first trip due to time. However, I plan to scour the place again. Explore it when you can... #Oceanside #NCSD #Ransack #Vintage #Handcrafted read more

Had a great experience start to finish. Never been here before, not my typical vibe or attire & walked out w a flyyy red dress (in good quality!) and got so many compliments on it. The blonde girl i forgot her name - so personable, nice, honest & helpful. Its not a thrift store so dont expect thrift prices, that was my mistake lol read more

I came in today to sell a few items I've had sitting around. Sami was super helpful, and told me I could get credit towards items in the shop, or cash value.

Thank you, Sami, I love ransack. read more

You can tell that the shop was curated with lots of passion by owner Scout. Love shopping small business especially a store run by such great people! read more

Really cool store that is styled with the vintage western aesthetic. They carry men's, women's and children's clothes as well as vintage bandanas, patches, pins and a few houseware items. Everything looks to be hand selected and in perfect condition. The space is really cool and the owner is nice and welcoming. read more

I love this store! Everything is so artfully curated and the women who run it are amazing. Every time I come here I am able to find something cool & unique. The owner is really cool and I just love the uniqueness that this shop brings to the community! read more

Absolutely love it here! The vibe is awesome and the staff are very friendly. I went here a few weekends ago for my birthday and found a vintage pair of overalls that I'm in love with, I wear them whenever I can. Inside the shop is super cute, and they have authentic vintage clothes dating back to the 1920's! The shop has a western theme, and there's chaps, boots and fringes in all parts of the store. It's adorable and it honestly reminds me of where I grew up in Arizona. All in all a very cute shop that I definitely recommend checking out! read more

A really cool local vintage shop. Not a thrift store and you can tell they spend a lot of time curating and picking all of the stuff. Good selection and all the workers are knowledgable about dating items and willing to share with you how to tell how old the items are which is cool. Sami always point me in a great direction and love asking for her advice. read more

loved the amazing selection of stuff they had in this place! i'm an east coast native and all of the inventory was very west coast vibe, so i was in my heaven. the only thing i would say i did not like was that the prices seemed a little bit on the pricey side. other than that, 10/10 recommend! found an adorable pair of 70s psychadelic bloomers here and i can't wait to wear them. read more

Very cute store, but not the most understanding owner. I came in today to purchase western wear for my husband, two daughters and myself for a western-themed family camp next weekend. (My husband had knee surgery two days ago and can't get out of bed, so he asked me to get him a shirt.) First trip I brought my oldest daughter (10) and bought her chaps ($45), took a few photos to send my husband, then turned around and came back 5 minutes later after I received his text telling me his size:16-16.5 collar. I took the two shirt possibilities to the petite brunette (very nice) at the counter; neither shirt had a size on the tag. We measured the collar with a tape measure, and I purchased what I thought was a 16. When I got home my husband took one look and said it was too small. I returned with my 8-year old less than 2 hours later (overalls $35 and belt $18) and explained the situation to the (different) saleswoman. Of course I saw the "all sales final" policy, but I was hoping that I could simply exchange the shirt for another and pay the $8 price difference (since it was unworn and I had the receipt from 2 hours prior). She referred to the store's policy and refused to exchange it (although she offered to buy it back from me for 1/2 of what I literally had just paid-I declined). At check out, I asked (the same woman) if it might be possible to speak to manager (figured I'd ask). I thought maybe the reason for no exchange was because items were on consignment; she said, no, she owned everything outright and was the store owner. My own fault for buying a shirt with a final sale policy, but I had hoped an business owner would have a little more empathy after I spent over $100. Pretty rough week for us with surgery and sick kids, so it would've been nice to have a little understanding. I like to support small business owners, but I probably wouldn't shop here again. read more

Super knowledgeable - great selection! The owner is super great, highly recommend for curated vintage! Enjoy shopping!

One of my all time favorite vintage stores!! The best people run it and there are always great finds inside!

A unique boutique. When you are in the area surfing through the other antique malls and thrift shops, don't pass this one by. Whether you need a prairie dress, a python skin, or a plush cozy sweatshirt, you'll find quality items here. Definitely the flower on the cactus, of second hand stores. Thanks Scout! read more

This place....beautiful and amazing. So many cute vintage pieces. My mother law and myself were going through the store and loved a couple a pieces. Later we thought to ourselves that we should have bought them however they closed at 6. We were walking to go to get dinner and noticed the open sign was still open. My husband ran across the street to check and even though they were technically closed he told them what happened and knew exactly what pieces we wanted. She helped him find the two jackets and get them for us! Couldn't thank them enough! Great staff and customer service! read more

Oh man, what an unexpected find this was! We're here in Oceanside for one night, staying at the RV park down the beach. We were walking to dinner and caught site of Ransack's awesome window displays (vintage overalls anyone?). We were super stoked to find out they were still open, even though it was after 6pm. The shop is expansive, full of vintage treasures and some new "vintagey" tricks. The space is gorgeous and maybe one of our favorite parts....Conway Twitty on the playlist Scout, the owner was in the shop (literally hand-sewing something behind the counter). She was really fun to chat with and super down-to-earth. Ransack will be at the top of our list anytime we come to town! read more

This place is incredible. It's a treasure trove of cool stuff. This will be one of my regular stops from now on!!!

The asthetic of this store is amazing and such good items!!! Everyone always asks where I get my rings and I always say ransack!:) def worth it to check the store out! read more

I love this new store in Oceanside! The owner, Scout, has created a clean and welcoming shop where you can find a huge selection of vintage clothing and accessories. The emphasis is on western wear, and you'll see everything from hats to boots on display. The atmosphere is so friendly, you can relax and browse to your heart's content. Looking for a gift? They have handcrafted earrings, heavenly scented candles, colorful bandannas, and so much more! I plan to visit Ransack regularly. The stock changes all the time, so it'll be great fun to explore every time. read more

This place is awesome! Found the cutest real leather jacket here the other day. They have super unique, vintage and western inspired accessories, jewelry, gifts and previously owned items. They really did a great job curating this store. I'm definitely coming back for a Willie Nelson tank top. Lots of amazing finds! read more

Cutest lil vintage shop. Love the staff and can always count on finding the best pieces for my wardrobe

Super cute store, great collection of vintage clothes for women, men and kids. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great selection of cowboy boots and purses. read more

A really well curated vintage store!!! Everything from deadstock denim to Gunne Sax dresses. You won't be disappointed! Really lovely owner named Scout who you can tell puts a lot of love into her store. Really fun place with really cool decor, go check it out! read more

I'll add another 5 star review here. I was so impressed when I went to visit Ransack. Their specialty is vintage clothing, with a Western or Americana vibe. They do a fabulous job creating an environment that sets a vintage western vibe - the decor, the old time country music, the carefully selected inventory, and even the clothing that the staff wear all work together to create a mood that transports shoppers to another time and place. Treat yourself with a visit to Ransack - you'll be glad you did. read more

Awesome shop!! Love the interior design and customer service. Was greeted by lovely staff and picked out a sweet custom jacket for my girlfriend. Great personal experience, highly recommend this shop. read more

I saw this store in the area where I was getting food and it looked super cute so I figured I would go inside and browse around. A few of my soccer friends followed in and we looked around together. We were looking at the candles when one of the employees walked over to us and said, and I quote "I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you don't have a parent with you because there's a lot of breakable things in here and quite frankly I don't have it in me today." I understand trying to take care of your products but telling a few of 16 year old girls that are respectfully looking around to get out just because you "don't have it in you"? That's ridiculous. It was a cute store but the employees have such an unapproachable demeanor. I really wish she could have at least been nicer about it. I would have understood if we were touching everything and knocking merchandise over but we were just simply walking around. Honestly I'm appalled that people like this are allowed to work in retail. I'm beyond disappointed. read more

me & my boyfriend loved this place and found the cutest finds, so many interesting things that you just want to buy it all, love the decor and vibes. the girl working was also so so sweet and nice, loved talking to her. highly recommend this place read more

The best vintage spot you're going to find in Oceanside/San Diego. They sell true western vintage as well as goods/clothings from local companies. Their whole selection is unique, wide and extremely well curated. The customer service is amazing -- friendly and knowledgeable staff that are happy to help you find anything. They even offered to keep an eye out for me for specific vintage wants that I had if not found in the store!! I HIGHLY recommend going here, it's so worth the trip if your not an Oceanside local too. read more

Sick shop with great management and sick pieces. 10/10 would cruise here again. Got a killer jacket and some cool jeans. Legend!!

This place is warm and welcoming. The clothing is clearly lovingly curated and thoughtfully displayed. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be coming back! read more
