I've not yet sold with this location but see people doing so, and the buyers seem to have a discerning eye. The Wardrobe Project also hosts a monthly Rockridge flea "The Wardrobe Project Flea" which hosts over 100 vendors, where you're sure to find something from all local sellers and some who travel in from LA. Plus, handmade products as well. This College Ave location is the everyday stop when you need to grab anything from vintage starter jackets, I've gotten retro J.Crew pieces here in additions to Y2K Nike pieces. Try them out if you're on the block. Parking can be busy, but there are 2hr free spots on the nearest block where the store is. It's also independently owned by a young cool duo. So, that's always nice.

I discovered this thrift shop by accident when I found a Kate Spade mini tote bag from their shop…read moreon Etsy. I haven't been to the physical location in Oakland but would like to one day. They did a great job packing and quickly shipping the tote bag. The purchase was kind of funny for a couple reasons. One, I thought it was a vintage bag because I didn't know you could resell newer items on Etsy that are not handmade. It looked vintage to me, so I didn't question it, but it turned out the bag is from a few years ago. No big deal. Second, I didn't pay attention to the bag's measurements or the word "mini" in the title. I had to laugh when I took it out of the box. It's so tiny. It looks like it will maybe fit my phone, wallet, keys, and that's about it. I was expecting it to be much bigger, but that's totally my fault for not paying attention. The tote bag is in excellent new condition with the tag still attached. It also came with a detachable long strap. I'm not sure what I will do with it because its teeny size feels too small for me, but it's an awfully cute bag.

A newly open store in the Temescal section of Oakland. I was out for a walk and came across it so…read moreI decided to take a peek. We had a variety of items including clothing, shoes, jewelry to purses, etc. They also had a few items outside on a sale rack. It wasn't a lot of inventory so not much to choose from. The average price of some of the clothing items were in the $30 range. I didn't feel like there were things there that were more unique than what I would find doing a little hunting in a thrift store and would probably pay less. Given that they are new it's probably worth checking out and seeing how they expand and improve.

Alternatively, Mind's Eye Vintage considers themselves to be a "Cult Collection of Vintage For Men and Women". Mind's Eye Vintage is located within the Temescal Alley and I manage to stop in every time I find myself in this part of Oakland. I like the small space, how the merchandise is displayed, and the nice casual vibe. I'm not sure I have the body type or the youth for what Men's Clothing is offered, but the used shoes/boots they carry are intriguing. Unfortunately, the lucky day hasn't yet arrived when I find a Size 11 or 11.5 in the right style.

There was a dog sitting next to the door, naturally I went to pet him with my boyfriend and to check out the store which seemed interesting. I was told to step back a bit and not pet the dog all at once because he gets frightened easily. Fair enough. I walked a few steps back while my boyfriend pet him. I proceeded to say something along the lines of you must get a lot of people coming in and petting him. The rudeness of this lady was unreal. She then says "WHAT" in a loud stern voice and becomes extremely defensive while yelling at me about how I shouldn't tell her what to do with her dog and that she has the dogs best interest blah blah. Loud. Defensive. Rude as can be. I was shocked. I kid you not I couldn't even believe it. As she yelled at me in the store after I had been in there all of 30 seconds. I politely said I didn't mean to offend you and thank you as she stormed off huffing and puffing. People if she is so defensive about his dog and has its best interest. DONT BRING A SCARED AND ANXIETY RIDDEN DOG IN A STORE FULL OF PEOPLE IN AND OUT ALL DAY. Never have I been treated so rudely in all of the time I've lived here. If this lady is not the owner tell her to keep her dog out of the store and to treat customers with a little more respect because you potentially lost a sale. Worst customer service I've ever encountered and defensive and angry woman working the front. Kind of scary. I literally made this account because I need to say how shocking this experience was. Thanks!
