Echoes, A Christian Thrift Store

Pros: Didnt know about this thrift store until recently. The place is nice and huge selection. Cons: Ive been there twice and the second time one of the staff seemed kind of rude. Also, its ridiculous to price things as blank dollars because its this much on eBay I understand the if you cant beat em join em mentality with resellers. But I dont agree because now youre limiting your customer base when many of us just want to find nice clothes for cheap prices. I found a cute shirt there that they had priced for $59.99. Are you kidding? Not designer or anything so unsure why it was that much. I wouldnt even pay that much at an actual store. Then it was marked down to $18.99, still couldnt bring myself to buy it. Also left another item behind for the price. Unfortunately I think you guys need to reevaluate how you price your items.

Just discovered this thrift store today. I found a lot of items that were high-quality and bargain prices. The ladies that work there were very friendly. Based on this experience, I Will be donating my items to this organization

This has been my go to favorite little thrift for years. Its been consistently nice and actual thrift store prices. The last time I went in, random items were way over priced which is so sad to see at a second hand store. I found a cute fall jacket but it was $40 and not in the best condition for a used item. Since my original review ^ they have really dug into over pricing all items. Its sad. The review below is my response to their comment. Edited* part of the community you are serving is the community of people coming in because they need/cant afford clothes etc. People living in poverty deserve access to nice things too, and when people donate they expect that to be the case. Consider reflecting on where community starts. Its great you donate to the orgs that you do, but thrift stores should serve those coming in directly, too. Especially with clothing and staple house hold items that people need. Especially with warm clothing during winter months.

VERY overpriced. Its like shopping at an antique mall, not a thrift store. Many items are marked with tags stating an eBay price. I used to love this thrift store because I was able to go here and find treasures for a good price. Now I avoid going there because there are many other local thrift stores with much better prices. Customers understand that the profits go to a good cause. The store manager does not understand that to make a profit you should have prices that appeal to the majority of customers. If prices are good then I will stop in often and buy things that I like, but really don't need. The store is located in a neighborhood where both the local high school and middle school provides free lunch based on the low income of the neighborhood. (Community Eligibility Provision program.) Its sad that this store is pricing out local customers. October 2023 update: I had stopped shopping at this store because of the prices and the insistence of the management that their high prices are the right thing. I stopped in today after many months and found that they are still tagging everything with "vintage" and "eBay price". Even more so than before. I have attached photos. I photographed the damaged snowflake Pyrex dish at the store in October 2022 priced at $10. It is no longer in the store but it is still for sale on the store manager's marketplace page for $10, one year later! This goes to show how long their stock can sit unpurchased because it is so overpriced.
