What a gem I'm already excited to come back!! We were out and about and randomly decided to stop in to check out the Consignment Shack and WOW! They house "East County Vinyl" inside which has such an extensive collection of both new and used vinyls that are all priced SO well - we walked out with 5 used vinyls under $30, SCORE (two of them were priced at just $2)! We've already tried playing all 5 of them and they were in pristine condition. Walked into the back and they have a really nice assortment of furniture, art, books, a small rack of clothing, vintage decor and collection pieces alike, all of which were priced very well!! Even though the clothing rack was small, I found this really cool Padres shirt :) The gentleman working today was also very kind and helpful, he even offered to hold the vinyls we found up at the register so we could continue perusing around the store. The consignment and vintage market, especially in San Diego, marks up prices but the Consignment Shack makes it affordable for all! Can't wait to come back!!! read more

This was a really cool store. I was in the area and decided to stop by. Very glad I did. They have an extremely large vinyl area. It felt like the old school days browsing through old records and finding great deals... unlike other stores where they overcharge. The owner was sweet and very welcoming which was appreciated. I was able to find a few vinyls to add to my slow growing collection. The other side was more of the consignment area, offering a variety of items, from comic books, to vintage Barbie's, to furniture and more. When I make it back to this area, I will definitely stop by again. read more

The Consignment Shack - Punk record - Thrift Stores Near Me - La Mesa, California

Awesome place for Vinyl. We spent most of the visit up front looking for albums. The owner was super nice and helpful. We felt like old friends as soon as we walked in. The value for the albums is pretty normal. You can find some deals on certain albums. The rest of the shop has some cool SUP and random thrift shop looking items. You might find something you like, thats the fun of thrift shopping! read more

Glad I stopped in. This spot has an excellent selection of vinyl records (an entire room dedicated), unfinished furniture (anarondok chairs and benches) and kitsch items. I came across this adorable sake set with a barrel and six glasses, all reminiscent of a German beer stein. Quite unique. It's fairly small overall -- just a few rooms and tightly packed. But they do pack in what they offer. You should plan to take your time to carefully browse. There is a diverse selection of furniture, hand bags, kitchenware, instruments, DVD and VHS (yes, VHS!) and collectables. Vintage and new. Great spot for gift spotting and for home decor. Staff is cordial and attentive. Also, they are on OfferUp. read more

Kelly has been great! She communicates well and is very trustworthy. If she can sell it, she will take it. If she can't, she will tell you up front. This is such a great service! Her store has lots of great finds, too! Great for sellers and shoppers! read more

Just love popping in here. Lots of interesting stuff. Great furniture deals. Unique things. read more

Stopped in a couple weeks ago and Kelly ended up buying a shelving unit from my teenage niece. I loved watching how Kelly interacted with my niece. It was from a place of genuine interest and care and we very much appreciated the whole experience. What a beautiful store in so many ways. read more

Absolute gem of a place. Wonderful furniture in amazing condition. Will definitely be back. Incredible value for the price.

I came in today browsing through the furniture and collectibles. I bought a couple items here. I fell in love with this store and definitely recommend it here! You can save a lot of money. The lady at the front desk was so welcoming and great customer service. I will be definitely returning back here. read more

First of all, I'm picky about furniture. I firmly believe in high quality, sturdily crafted pieces that will LAST. Y'all we can't settle for IKEA. When I stumbled upon this goldmine, I had to share it with you all. Gorgeous, well made furniture for heavily discounted prices? In San Diego of all places? I'm telling you this is real life. Run, don't walk to the Consignment Shop. I've gotten so many compliments on my find there, and I'm eyeing a dresser for my next purchase. They take cards or cash, parking is limited, but it's well worth the trek to La Mesa. read more

I couldnt say anything better about the service I received working with Kelly at The Consignment Shack. I brought in my dads guitar to put on consignment and the process couldnt have been easier, the process was easy, and she was completely transparent about the way the selling works. HIGHLY recommend selling here! read more

Great place to find some really cool furniture stuff and other Knick knacks you may find interesting. Went there looking for an entertainment center and left with a few more things. They have records too! Check them out and support local businesses. Chill and friendly atmosphere there you can go and just flip thru their LP and 45 record collection for sale she has some good ones. Highly recommended! read more

This place is super cute! I've been wanting to come to this place for the longest time now & I'm so glad I finally stopped by. They have such cool & unique items, plus the staff is extremely friendly. Definitely one of my favorite shops in San Diego. read more

The Consignment Shack - Found this gem! - Thrift Stores Near Me - La Mesa, California

I came to hopefully sell some records. The lady at the counter asked my asking price and afterwords she questioned if I stole them. Said she didn't need my parents to come to beat her ass. I'm a Latino male that looks like I'm 15 but I'm 21 so yeaaa that's about the whiteness of the people you're going to deal with here. Such a shame too. I used to buy a lot of records here. If you're a person of color. Don't come here. This woman's first thoughts of seeing a Latino young person trying to sell some records was "these might be stolen". read more

I've only been here to buy vinyl records, but they have an excellent selection, fair prices, quality vinyl, and an awesome staff!

this place. Awesome people and great items. I have purchased several vintage cameras and furniture, I always leave pleased with the service and the items found. The record selection is GREAT too!! Check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

I love the selections in this place. It was fun to shop there. That's why I give this place two stars instead of one. very unique. Unfortunately, customer service made the experience awkward on several occasions. Both times, the woman inserted herself into a private conversation I was having with my significant other. The first time, I was trying to get him out the door and she says, it doesn't look like he's leaving, does it? Then today, I was waiting in the car for him. I called him several times, and one of the customer service people says to him, she sure is impatient, isn't she? I don't know, I guess she was trying to be friendly or funny, and both of us are very friendly people. That's why I gave her the benefit of the doubt the first time. But it's just inappropriate and nosy. Is she trying to start a fight between us? It was just awkward both times. I always feel like we're being eaves-dropped on in there. If they keep their comments to themselves, and just stick to being friendly, it might be a really nice place to shop, but neither my significant other or I feel comfortable in there anymore. read more

Dropped in to explore The Consignment Shack this afternoon. Great conversation with Kelly who explained their consignment model. Kelly was helpful, welcoming and enthusiastic about her business. I am looking forward to entrusting my items with her as she sees fit! Thanks Kelly read more

Ugh, this place is so cool. Whenever I have some free time on a weekend I'll venture in here and I always seem to leave with a few things :) really rad collection!! read more

The people there are very down-to-earth and honest. Definitely a place to check out when looking for something to add to your space. Pricing is fair and the quality is good. I found a very unique cutting board that I've never seen anywhere else. Kelly was the lady I interacted with and she left me with a very positive impression of the business. read more

First time in this store last weekend. What a sweet person and what a great find! I will surely be back soon.

Very nice store. The owner is incredibly sweet and fun to talk to. They had lots of furniture there when I visited at great prices. Tons of vinyl and books. There was also a nice collection of old cameras that really caught my eye. So glad to have stopped in :) read more

This store is hands down one of my favorite places. I love to come here and look at all of the stuff they have, and the owner could not be nicer! I always leave with a few vinyls, and recently discovered the online selection they have. They have great stuff and even if I'm not looking for anything, I love to come here and just browse all the treasures they have. read more

I didn't actually buy anything here, since I was looking for someplace else. But I found a genial group of women hanging out for what looked like a regular gathering and when I asked for directions, the (I assume) owner walked me outside to point me the right way, but first said, "Look at that Moon," which was large in front of us, and reminded me there'd be an eclipse the next night. That's my kind of person: shows you how to get where you're headed, but makes sure you don't miss the Moon. So if you're heading into La Mesa, stop off at the Consignment Shack. You'll probably like the energy. You may even buy something. :) read more

Such a good consignment store! Lots of vintage gems. Prices are reasonable. The store was neat and easy to look through. Most of all, the people that worked here were so nice and helpful. I will be back! read more

Kelly was so generous to help out my kids High School for a production of Grease..she donated a huge lot of records! I've never been to her store before, but was so impressed when I walked in the door. Amazing selection of records and one of a kind items at great prices. Thank you so much Kelly for all your help and I will be recommending your store to everyone I know. read more

What a great fine, found you back in 2011. I'm so glad you ladies are still in business . Keep it up, so friendly so helpful. Thanks for all your help. Thanks for searches which requires time. I tell everyone I know that your a place that has that special furniture read more

I LOVE this place. Kelly is awesome- friendly and funny.. And makes the experience enjoyable. She is not even a tiny bit pushy and does not try to up sell. Both times I've been there I told her what I was looking for (something to use as a tv stand and a colored accent piece) and my price range. She immediately showed me around the store and what items she thought would be best for me and then left me to continue to look around and decide what I want. She always helps me bring my stuff to the car and fit it in- now that's customer service! The store is beautiful also, nicely decorated with their items for sell. (Let's face it- most consignment places look like 20 people emptied out their old storage units and shoved it all into one small store). Overall, I love coming here even if it's just to look around (there isn't any judgment or dirty looks for not purchasing coming from Kelly). read more

I went in expecting​ to just look around and not really find anything. The prices were so good I left with 3 records, 4 lamps, a beautiful​ art print, and a huge smile. I have never met anyone as friendly and easy to talk to as Kelly! I don't really need anything else but I might just go back to hang out. read more

I used to live by this place but I never saw it then. I checked it out today . It was big. They had so much stuff. They have alot of furniture so this is a great thrift store for that. It's a nice place but I think alot of the furniture is a bit pricey. Great place to check out for vintage items though. Parking is next to a taco shop. The lady that works there was greeted us and was very nice. read more

Great little find! I was just driving by the other day and stumbled upon this newly-opened gem. Lots of great and unique furniture pieces and interesting vintage finds. My friend and I restore old furniture (ReFab Furniture) and turn them into bar stations and we are always hunting for the next project so this place is great! The ladies there are very helpful and mentioned they get new items every week so I'll have to pop in to see what's new:) being so close to home is a great bonus! read more

The Consignment Shack - The perfect corner chair and conversation piece! It means "Time Out" in French and is perfect for little ones that need a break! - Thrift Stores Near Me - La Mesa, California

I just met my NEW BFF TODAY- shhhhh... don't tell her but we're moving in when she closes up shop tonight. I mean there is simply no reason why you wouldn't - the only thing this place is missing is a reasonably priced kitchen sink (oh wait... I'm sure it's in there too!). But seriously - this place is super cool, fun, and the prices... sheesh... very reasonable. I noticed another "Yelper" wrote "way overpriced" - you must have missed your turn on the way to Goodwill. I just left with a Limoges wash basin (sans pitcher) for .... well I can't tell you but..... I know what its worth and I know what I paid... and someone made off like a bandit ;)... several diecast Tonka trucks for my PeeWee, an antique blown-glass Japanese fishing buoy for my other not-so-PeeWee, and a "Bob the Builder" movie (thrown in for the low cost of love). Although I don't live around the corner- will it be worth a trip back??? HECK YEAH... if for no other reason than to hang out on the sofa in the front room for the day to see what new goodies comes in (that I have to have or I'll simply die). read more

I love this place. With the onset of the internet I no longer comb through thrift stores for obscure books I'm looking for or ravens/crows for my collection. Now, when I get a commission check and feel like splurging small-ly on non-needed items, I come here and buy random things that strike my fancy. My favorite dish set was bought here. I got a glass 'bottle" shaped like a male torso full of purple sand (my fav purchase so far and too bad I can't post a pic :-) it's 'unique'). I got a cool chair for my son's apartment - he's in a wheelchair so already has a seat but his guests were complaining..... etc etc! See you in April when I get my next commission check :-) read more

This place was a great find! I went looking for lamps and there was a large selection at very reasonable prices. I ended up buying 3 lamps and a bunch of knick knacks for $16 ! They do discounts on items that have been there more than a month. I'll be coming back here again for sure. read more

Got a beautiful rocking chair for my nursery here, the price was more than fair and the customer service was incredible. The woman working was very attentive and proactively loaded the chair in my car for me (I'm six months pregnant). She was also kind and patient when dealing with unexpected behavior from the foot traffic outside. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Fun store to poke around in and shop. The owner Kelly and staff are friendly and helpful. There is always something new and interesting at the store. read more

Finally a place like this has made its way to La Mesa. I am a thrift store junkie, so when I drove past this place I knew I had to stop in. Great selection of all sorts of stuff and super friendly owner. The only con is that it is closed two days a week... but hey everyone needs a break. read more
