reTAGit

We went to reTAGit to rent a UHaul, but after entering the shop, I had to take a look around at all of the merchandise. After we left, I came back the next day to do some shopping, because they really have some good stuff. I’m not sure if it used to be different, considering all the bad reviews, but I did see quite a few good deals.
I ended up getting a $ 200 vacuum for $ 35 and two end tables for $ 50, and all of the items were in pretty good shape. Apparently, they no longer buy items from the public, so I’m not sure if that’s what’s changed. All of the items they receive are from places like Amazon, Macys, JC Penny, and other retailers. There’s lots of couches, TVs, chairs, and a whole ton of bikes!
The guys working were incredibly nice and helpful and let me test out the vacuum at the store to make sure it worked. They also assisted in bringing everything out to our cars for us. The shop isn’t huge, but I guess they have a whole warehouse of items that aren’t all out on display. I’m not exactly sure how that works when you’re looking for something, but maybe I didn’t hear them right. Either way, if I’m looking for cheap and slightly used/​worn furniture or appliances, I’ll keep reTAGit in mind for sure.

This is not a place to find a deal; I am hard pressed to think what their business strategy is.
It is a second use store with prices that seem closer to retail than they do to what you would expect used items to cost. Hopefully that means these are better conditioned items, and/​or rare finds for a thrift.
I did see receiver a little more sophisticated than at Gadget Ease, yet they didn’t look all that clean. They also have furniture – somewhat vintage. There’s a lot of electronics and guitars – amps. They are bikes here too.
It is in the well graphic building on Summit and Hudson, a nice old building in a great place. If only the prices were a bit better I’d shop here more. Check it out if you are looking for something, they may have something you need, just don’t expect more than a 10-​percent mark from retail.

Great experience here. I don’t know anything about bikes but I wanted to get my fiancé one for his birthday, so I just showed up and asked for help. The man who helped me was very knowledgable about bikes and very nice, he got me all set up and even helped me get it in my car and tied the trunk shut for me. It seemed like they had a good selection of stuff, and my fiancé loves his bike. Thank you!

We brought in a bike to sell and were told that it could be sold through consignment. We were initally told that we would be getting our check in early June. Although the bike sold May 23^rd, we were told, no, we wouldn’t get the check for the bike until late June. Late June came and went and then we were told early July. Early July passed and we were told they still did not have our money. It is now July 16^th, the bike sold almost two months ago, and we still do not have our money. We have called and left messages for the owner, Logan, but she has yet to call us back, even though the employees have stated that they relayed the messages to her. We will not be going back to any of these stores– ever.

Standard crappy «thrift» store inventory, way inflated prices. That’s about all there is to say about this place.
I stopped in primarily to look at bikes awhile back, but it was a huge waste of time. They’re selling used bikes which they insist are totally refurbished, but that looked like they were dragged out of a garage and given a good hose-​down and nothing else. On top of that, the prices on bikes are about $ 50 – 100 MORE than those at a good used bike store like Once Ridden or Handy Bikes, where the bikes have actually been refurbished. Some of the prices were downright comical– they’ve got rusty old Schwinns that probably aren’t worth $ 100 listed for $ 300.
Since I was there, I took a look at some of the used household stuff and instruments, and it was the same deal. Goodwill quality, at near-​new prices.
The whole time you’re there, the staff follows you around trying to make a hard sale, and when I just kind of brushed them off, they got condescending and rude. The whole operation is just skeevy and weird. I usually try to give used inventory-​type places a few visits before I write them out entirely, but I don’t think I’ll be visiting this one again.

I don’t really see how they stay in business. I would say i know way more about tools then the average person, That said, the stuff they are selling is mostly junk or close to it. An old (like 10 yr old) 12V drill for $ 65, Sawzall for $ 135, crappy crappy miter saw for $ 165. Most of this stuff is really beat too. Some stuff that was still like new in the box was $ 40 more then Home Depot sells it for new! It’s like they sell most of the used stuff for $ 5 less then the cost of buying it new. Ok so you get 50% off the second thing you buy. Maybe that’s cool if it’s 2 like new items. They had some cool 70’s style 10 speed bikes. That i’m sure hipsters would cut a finger off for, but $ 400 bucks really. Maybe i’ll see if they’ll buy the junk i’m planning on throwing out.

Store closed. Sign on the door reads «Temporarily closed. Reopening July 1^st.» Seen just today, which you’ll note is a week after the scheduled reopen. Interesting…
Addendum: I haven’t been back in since before I posted this, so I don’t think another update is warranted, but I do ride by the store every day so I did want to edit this with the info that sometime in September, Retag It opened back up.
