This is by far the best first I've done. Barb and Phyllis, the ladies who run Barb's Corner, are…read morewonderful individuals and very hard workers. Their store may be tucked away, nestled between Main Street and the train tracks, but it really is a friendly hub. I met Phyllis at the Valley Marketplace on the green in downtown Ansonia. My mom struck up a conversation with her and told her that we were having a hard time trying to consign our old clothes and she warmly welcomed us to come on over any time and she'll take any clothes as long as they're not too beaten up or stained. When I finally went there with bins and bags of clothes, they were so kind and took all but 3 items, which is a breath of fresh air after dealing with the uppity atmosphere at One More Tyme and Plato's Closet. Granted, not a lot of people who visit buy things, so don't get too butthurt if you go in after a couple of weeks and only have 25 cents in your account. This leads me to the absolute BEST thing about Barb's Corner: their huge hearts. Barb and Phyllis take more than just clothing, they also take household items, furniture, and even unopen packs of diapers and adult disposable underwear. If you're someone who's hurting and hard up for money, they might even cut you a break on the price, which is totally unheard of in this dog eat dog world where everyone just wants to make a buck. However, please don't abuse their kindness since they need every dollar they get, as do the consigners. Even if you've got a heart of stone, it's hard not to like this quaint shop and their great prices. I got a brand new pair of shorts with the KMart tag and everything still on them, here for $2.50! All in all, this place is wonderful to visit, even if you are just feeling lonely and need someone to talk to. The only downside, and it's not that big of a deal, is that it tends to get a bit cramped what with all of the stuff they take. So, just keep on your toes and you should be golden.

Went today for the first time, definitely over hyped. They did have a lot of merchandise from…read moreclothing, shoes, household items, pillows, comforters, curtains, etc. However staff is very rude and prices are high for claiming to be large discount store. I did end up leaving with 3 items however they were cheap and seemed worth it. Many brands like free people, urban outfitters, PacSun, Anthropologie, Maurice's, Loft, Nike, champion however still overpriced. Many of the furniture was damaged and still overpriced. Definitely a one time visit spot for me.

Some nice things here. But quite a few items have issues...rips, stains, zippers etc. But the worst…read morepart is that nothing is priced. Things are hanging on racks or piled on a table with a price sign on it. But I found that many items I picked up from $24.99 racks rang up as $49.99. There is just no way to know what you will get charged. And it's not like they're scanning a barcode or anything to people upfront hold up the item and decide on a price. Many of the items are overpriced. I agree with what the others say that you're better off going to Marshalls in TJ Maxx. It's a frustrating experience

In May I went to Yesterday's with a bunch of women's clothing in good condition. They had me…read morecomplete paperwork, assigned me a number, you know, typical consignment routine. In June I went back to consign more items. When I presented my number the woman told me there had been a mixup with my number/paperwork. She re-assigned my number, had me complete the information again, and then asked me what I had dropped off. A month and a half earlier. Now Yelpers, I am a single Mom with a professional job and an hour commute. I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, never mind a month-and-a-half ago. Then she asked me to go through the store and find the items I had consigned! Ain't nobody got time for that! So I left. Today I called to see if the situation had been fixed at all, and I was told that there were a few items sold under the previous number... but the lady who was manning the store wasn't PERMITTED TO HAND OUT MONEY. So, let me get this straight... you have someone watching your store, but you don't trust them with cash? I smell something fishy here. If they can rectify this situation, I'll remove this review.

I'm new to Shelton from Boston and I'm used to shopping for nearly all my clothes at a range of…read moreawesome thrift or consignment shops. This place packs a lot in given how small it looks from the outside - the outside also makes it seems like the clothes could be outdated, but that wasn't so. Most of the stuff was pretty current. I found a ton of summer dresses and some pants to try on...sadly, most of it didn't fit right, but that's par for the course! I did buy a couple things, though. I was surprised that in a small shop there was a ton of women's clothes, including plus sizes (although I'm petite), and also a little bit of men's, children's and housewares. There were also a lot of great shoes, but nearly nothing in my size 7. If you're an 8 or larger, there's lots of great heels for you! Also a bunch of cool bags and purses. I wouldn't go out of my way if you're looking for jewelry...slim pickings. But I'll definitely be back for clothes shopping!!

My GOD. MY GOD…read more This place is terrible. Total chaos. The "store" as she insisted calling her "dumpster in waiting", over the phone is chaos. It is "yuck". CHAOS. I went for an auctioninja pickup. Where is it? No CLUE! Her space is in a GIANT building, but you would never know according to the instructions or google maps, for that matter. "DOOR 1!!!DOOR 1!!!" She frantically says over the phone when I call her. She is annoyed, she does not sound well. I just want to pick up my damn auction win. Door 1? Is it a store? What am I looking for?? I am very polite. She isn't polite, very or otherwise. "IT IS A SHOP! A SHOP! A STORE FRONT. IT IS ON THE STREET" It is none of those things. It is in fact not a store, nor is it on the street. It is within an industrial building with many stores and many doors and many floors...where is Margot? Who the hell knows, except...blessings - some exhausted woman and her grandson are trying to pick up from this place, too. Frustrated...over it; they lead the way. And where do we go to? Upstairs. Go figure. Who knew?! Nicky's Attic is a hoarder's hellscape. Mess. No organization. Chaos Margot was sick as hell - does she have covid? Who the hell knows. She is Sneezing. coughing. wheezing. She is talking on her cell phone. She is VERY BUSY. Is she talking to her friend? It seems VERY IMPORTANT. She is BUSY. SNEEZING. WHEEZING. On the phone. Occupied. We are waiting. All four of us. "WHAT'S WRONG, ARE YOU OK???" She gets up in the guy's face, asking. He has been waiting there for ages, I imagine. He whispers, "good luck" to me as he carries out his box. I, along with the other strangers I am waiting with, are developing a new language via widening eyes and eyebrows being raised. Margo, deep in the room, yells "what are you picking up, what does it look like? Describe it!" WTAF. Well, after you try to describe what you have won via the blurry photos you bid on, she yells "OVER HERE! I FOUND IT. OVER HERE!!!!!" Great. You have to climb over piles of stuff to get your stuff. Then you try not to break your stuff or break your damn body as you exit the hoarders den. But, then, you tell the people, filling up the small cramped space, waiting to talk to sneezing coughing Margo. "GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL ACCENTDENTLY BREAK MY BODY, YOU BODY, AND MY STUFF AS I TRY TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE." The cycle goes on... Ugh. MY GOD. No. Thank. You.
