Rude staff! One older lady couldn't be bothered to rise from her seat and check me out. When I inquired about purchasing one item that was grouped in a bulk lot she ever so condescendingly said I could for the price of the entire bundle. They were just used ornaments but her attitude was extremely insulting . Please remember that you sell OTHERS TRASH, and govern your selves accordingly! To hell to her and her mother I'll never return Karen!

Very nice place to shop. Check out is slow only because they excercise great caution due to COVID-19. I will happily wait and respect their restrictions.

They had great records for only a $1 each, all of them were in great condition and mostly from between 1958-1965. The people at the counter were very nice. I also got a sewing machine for only $20. Overall great place to shop at and I would recommend to the people reading this.

Very well organized. Set up with one way aisle to keep everyone safely socially distant. Helpful staff. Something there for everyone. They deserve high praise.
