First time working with Hindons Auction House. My bidding experience online was fun. Everything I…read morepurchased was exactly as described. When the auction is over you pick up your items at 640 S Al Ridge Road. The address is in Oakboro but it feels like you are really in Red Cross. Regardless, the have specific hours to pick up your winnings. It got a bit hectic when a lot of people were there. After you pay for your items you give the worker your list of items to retrieve. By the time I left there were so many people I don't know how they managed who was next because everyone was standing idle throughout the barn. They really need a better way of transitioning from payment to pickup. Once we got back in the car we watched for a while because we quickly noticed that everytime someone left the barn (mostly men) they all had a big smile on their face. The auction was mostly sports memorabilia so you can imagine how happy they were. I thoroughly enjoy the experience and will continue to participate in their Auctions.

I received an email announcing a new Goodwill store opening in mid February. I went to a…read moreneighboring town on Monday, 03-11-24 and visited the store for the first time. I thought the inside size was good. Depending on what you're looking for, it may be hit or miss. I love books & was in love at first sight, especially seeing all the John Grisham books and the Norton Anthology of African American Literature book I was able to get for a paperback price. There were unique items available, like the piano and a maraca. They had a decent selection of bedding items like memory foam mattress toppers & pillows. Shoes weren't organized by size, but I managed to find a pair for someone else. I didn't have time to really look through the clothes, but I managed to find a black dress I needed. The guy who checked me out told me that they had a lot of inventory that hadn't been stocked yet and encouraged me to return. When I have time, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Don't forget to bring your own shopping bag(s). I didn't know to bring mine and just used the cart to carry my things to the car. (Yelp isn't allowing me to add my pictures to this review since I'm the first to add this business; will try to add them later if permitted to.)

This new store in Albemarle is very clean and organized! The employees are very friendly,…read morepersonable and very hard working!!! They have a great mix of clothing, housewares, electronics, and furniture. They work on a rotation and do not keep a bunch of unsellable merchandise that has been on the racks for a lengthy time, like in other thrift stores. You can expect to pay 4.99 for shirts, 6.99 for shoes. Furniture is sometimes priced too high, but they do 50% mark downs after 3 days of being on the floor.
