    As I've taken my guilty pleasure of thrifting rather than buying new, I stumbled across one of the…read moretop independent thrift stores to serve the capital city of Nevada. Located on the right hand side of eastbound Highway 50 and about a mile east of Highway 580 in Carson City, "Classy Seconds Thrift Shop" has been one of the main go-to thrift stores dating back to the late-1990's. Since I do not live in this area, this was my first opportunity as I got to check this place out which was during the afternoon on Friday 6/19/2026 at around 2:45pm. The location itself is not hard to miss as the building is very visible from the main highway. To actually get into the dedicated parking lot involves having to turn right on Brown St. and make another right on Gordon St. where the main entrance is. Since this is a fairly sizable and open space area, parking should never be an issue, no matter what day or time you come. The building itself is a clay grey shade complete with avocado green lettering. And for those wondering, they are open 7 days a week; Monday-Saturday from 10am-6pm and Sunday from 10am-5pm. Once inside, you will see how spacious the layout is with approximately 10,000 square feet of floor space and ample room to walk with a shopping cart. As for the variety of items that are offered, this place carries everything from mens/womens/kids clothing, shoes, houseware items, books, CDs/DVDs, furniture, small appliances, seasonal items, knick/knacks, and accessories. The one real advantage is that the prices here are quite competitive and even lower than the bigger major chain thrift stores such as Goodwill and Salvation Army. During my visit, I ended up buying a few summer polo shirts while my lady bought some mason jars and a small office organizer for her cubicle at work. Best of all, the money donated to this business helps support advocates to end domestic violence and services for survivors of family violence and victims of sexual assault. This goes hand-in-hand since the "Sexual Assault Response Advocates" (SARA) building is directly next door to Classy Seconds. With above average customer service, a decent selection of items, and very affordable prices, I am giving "Classy Seconds Thrift Shop" an above average four-star rating.

    We selected Classy seconds for their cause that they support. But I seldom get upset and today I…read moregot angry enough to close my truck gate and tell them out back that my donations will never come here again. For the past month, we have donated thousands of dollars in new and used items. After speaking with a manager about all the stuff we were about to bring. And explaining we had 2 warehouses full, She was greatful and said bring it. and we began. Truck loads of holiday items new in boxes. Housewares, furniture, books, camping equipment, sporting equipment and the list goes on. Today August 21, 2026 we arrived at 10am to donate another load of housewares, China sets meaning several, more linens, utensils, furniture, medical equipment, lawn care equipment and more. As we pulled up, a new kid said we had too much stuff? My wife told him to go ask since we arranged large loads. A woman with a walky talky came out and said she sees dust on a piece of China and then points out a hair on the outside of a velvet bag with fine China in it and said she will not accept our load because it is not shelf ready? WTF. I told my wife that we were done now and I just had to leave because of laziness on these people. There racks outside were completely empty which makes me wonder how many people were being turned away. All month we were greeted with kindness and thanked for our donations. Today we were pretty much told we did not have shelf ready stuff. All in boxes and bags so it could not be seen to make that call. What I heard was that classy seconds no longer needed donations unless they were in pristine condition which ours was. I think of the name classy seconds and it should be classy first cause I was pretty much told my stuff was not good enough All of a sudden. We got in our truck and went across the street to Goodwill. They literally told us it would take a bit because they had to go through every bag and box and basket. We had to take back a bag of lightbulbs. That was it and the girl thanked us and told us that this load of stuff we delivered was the best items they had seen all week. It took 15 minutes to go through all of it. Bye bye un-classy-??? I feel bad for the people you could have helped with our stuff and we still have a warehouse full to go. So took your advise Lisa, on your comments. We loaded another truck full this morning and went to donate again. It was about 11:30 and as soon as we got out of truck, a young girl told us again that we could not donate any items unless they were shelf ready. And another young man told other donors the same thing. But my wife explained to her what happened yesterday and that you responded to our post and that items did not need to be shelf ready and you encouraged us to come back. She then said OK and took everything with a smile and very courteous.

    The manager, Linda, calls me--the owner of Affordable Home Furnishings--and, I'm sure, a few…read moreothers, to purchase merchandise directly off the truck before it ever reaches the sales floor. Since early 2020, Linda has been inviting me into the back of the store to buy items before they are made available to the public. I have an eBay store, and she would have me "volunteer" some weeks--up to four days a week for several hours at a time. She asked me to wear a badge and not speak to anyone. During this time, I would separate the shoes I wanted to purchase in the back and then take the remaining pairs out to the sales floor. Over time, this evolved into me doing hours of work in exchange for being allowed to select inventory first. The owner of Affordable Home Furnishings, Guyla, and Linda have been doing this for many years. When Jeanette was the manager, this would occur on days when Jeanette was not present, particularly with furniture. Linda has also accepted gifts exceeding the allowed $100 monetary limit. She has given me pink-tag items as gifts, including one jacket priced at over $100. Recently, after previously giving me discounted prices, Linda questioned why I was bringing up price differences. When I mentioned the times she had gifted or discounted items for me, she claimed she did not recall those instances. She has now told me that I am no longer allowed to return to the store. When I asked why, Linda stated, "That's what the courts said," but refused to elaborate. For example, I recently purchased a pair of shoes that were missing shoelaces. I mentioned that shoelaces cost about $4, and she gave me a discount. She even said she enjoys negotiating with me. However, about a week later, when I questioned a price difference on T-shirts while checking out with another associate, she became enraged. She told me that I am no longer allowed to purchase items like shirts for $1.99, even though I had done so in the past, and that she personally considers those shirts to be worth $5. I asked her what I should do as a customer if one associate rings up an item at one price, but another believes it should be higher. I also asked whether, if I were purchasing a dry-fit polyester Nike T-shirt with a standard logo, I should request to be charged $5 instead. She did not have an answer. I asked the associate at the register, after she left, what I was supposed to do in that situation, and he responded that he did not know. I have concrete photo and video evidence of these events.

    The prices at this Salvation Army are on the pricier side, but there's some treasures to be found!…read more They have a section dedicated to vintage/antiques/collectibles if that is your thing. It was filled with dishware, old school suitcases, sewing machines, scales, etc. I spotted a 4' Darth Vader that was still in the box for $299. It was 20% off, and the lady said they'd have an extra 25% off on Labor Day. After the discounts, more reasonably priced. If it was a storm trooper, I'd snatch it up.

At first we thought it was closed because all of the lights were off. But the main door was unlocked and we entered. There was 3 people sitting at the table in the middle of the store - they stared us down but didn't say a word. We wondered the entire store which was primarily books, movies/dvds/VHS & furniture, with a few odds and ends. I think my definition of "gift store" is different than theirs because I didn't see much that I would categorize in that department. The odor in this store was the usual thrift store aroma, with a splash of...something very unpleasant. We saw what looked like a music venue in the back with a few guys talking really loudly from that area. After wondering the store, we started to work our way to the front when one of the gentleman practically ran to follow us out. When we looked back at him, he pulled out his key and dangled it indicating he was locking the door behind us, still not saying a single word to us. Out of probably 5 people in that store, not a single one said anything to us. If they were closed, they should have locked the door behind them - it was Saturday late morning.... I would label this more as a used book/music/movie store. I definitely won't waste my time here again. Such a weird experience!

As I was in line waiting to check out I noticed some people arguing price with the owner and thought nothing of it, BUT I absolutely should have. I made polite conversation with the owner as he was ringing up my items but then when he said my total I was a bit taken aback as it was higher than I had expected. When I was shopping I had been keeping a running total as I went and this seemed well above it. Unfortunately I did not trust my gut and paid for my items and figured I'd just check everything when I got in the car. I was given no receipt and when I went to check the items I remembered that as we were chatting the owner had cut off the price tags. I calculated (rounding up) what I remembered the tags to have said (even checking pictures I had sent my husband for opinions) when I was shopping and was shocked to see that I had been overcharged by about $50 dollars. It seems like this guy likes to take advantage of people and just charge whatever he feels in the moment and then makes it so there's little to no consequence for his actions because there's no way to "be sure" unless you're watching and calculating every single thing as he goes through. The only reason this review isn't one star is because of my previous pleasant experiences but BE CAREFUL here because you never know when the owner might decide to ruin your day.

I didn't know how much I would enjoy this store until I got sucked into the different things for about a half an hour. If I wasn't on a time crunch I would have stayed longer. I enjoyed the friendly greeting when I walked in the door. There were some great sales going on that she wanted to make sure I knew about.

I enjoy the unique household items like Interesting mirrors for selfies and items for dresser tops.
