  This is a pretty historical place for this community, however this place has changed a lot. Now that there are more affluent customers coming into this thrift shop, the prices have been gauged- sky rocketed. There is still some clothes for example, that can still be found for under $10- especially when they have sales, but that selection is small. Jackets, suits, etc are usually well over $20-$40, which doesn't seem fair considering it is second hand clothes, and especially considering that some natives of the community can't afford such prices. I have seen a marc Jacobs jacket here go for over $300. Dresses are usually over $70. Furniture must be bought as a set and is always $100-$600 (goodwill down the street sells couches for $40, but their selection is tiny) Appliances are old and beat up and range from $100-$300. Granted, their inventory is constantly changing now that it is a popular store. Some of the stuff is vintage, but rarely ever. The reason I gave it a 4 star, is bc there are some cool finds here occasionally and because they receive mass seasonal donations from stores/companies and that stuff is sold cheap.

  I am very tired of this place. I come by here often and each time they want to look in my bag, or take my bag, or search my bags,. It is ridiculous. Second I’ve been coming here for almost 15 years with the same animal in the same bag. I am questioned repeatedly and all the time by security personnel and then told I cannot shop in the store. That is not the law. The law specifically says I can bring my dog in the store so long as she is in a bag, in the city of Los Angeles. It that LA was unanimously passed in 2017. I don’t need to show my papers that I am a person who needs that animal. That’s an invasion of my privacy and federal he against the law. The reason it is against the law is because you were asking me to prove my disability by providing you paperwork. I do not need to provide my personal information to anyone except a medical professional, my work when required, and other interpersonal situations. As a long-term shop or at the store I’m telling you I’m going to tell everyone not to come here anymore until you update your security guards and your check up people with the correct information. Furthermore if I come back and someone asked me for my papers again I will press charges.

  Every time I come here I am optimistic about seeing what I will find and want to purchase immediately. Sometimes I come here with something in mind and I will find exactly that this is what I like about this location. Other times I will simply brows and look around and find something I can use. You find all sorts of islands here from clothes shoes furniture and more. The employees are helpful and kind. I've been coming to this store for several years and I will definitely be returning soon. Please be sure to check out this location for yourself I'm sure you'll love it.
