D & D Thrift Store

Amateur hour is over people.
Does the thought of someone else having worn something gross you out a little?
Do you shy away at the thought of digging through a box?
Does climbing over piles and pawing through clothing that sometimes smells like pee send you running in fear?
Then D & D is not for you.
This is a pile of stuff loosely organized into rows & sections. You can find some real gems but the hunt in definitely on. There are books falling over books, clothing hanging inside of other clothes, and woah, where do you think this stain came from? I’ve found some great vintage clothing, brick a brack, records, and books here.
As other reviewers have pointed out, you will get looked up and down before your priced. The owner picks up the items and prices them individually while ringing you up. It’ll be harder to haggle if you wait for him to be finished, try to haggle while you are ringing up for a better price just don’t be a jerk about it. Bring cash, obvi, for a better price.
Love this place! Wish it was easier to get a deal.

Coming up with a price based on your visual impression of a customer is not only racist/​sexist/​homophobic/​classist, it’s illegal as hell. You have NO right to charge one person more than another because you have taken visual clues that make you think you know their income level. The entire notion is revolting, and this place should be shut down.

This is no store for amateurs, wimps, or snoots. If you’re a hard-​core thrift store shopper, someone who doesn’t flinch from picking up an interesting piece of furniture from someone else’s trash, then head here. Don’t dress up – not because the owner is sizing you up (that’s a paranoid reading). From what I could see, he’s a decent person. While I was there he actually let a guy take a bed with the promise that he’d come back when he got his first paycheck. «Sure,» the owner said. Don’t dress up because if you’re a real thrift store shopper you know that chances are you are going to get dirty. Some stuff is dusty. Some stuff is piled on top of other stuff. That’s how it works.
And if you’re thinking about buying glass or breakables, good idea to bring your own newspaper and bags. That said, I don’t think there’s much you can’t find here if you look. Beautiful old tables and lamps, headboards, glassware, vinyl records (heaps of them), furniture, rack sand racks of clothes, tvs, hutches, pretty much anything of any vintage.
One last thing. Don’t let the front of the store, or the neighborhood, or the sheer size of the place, scare you away. It’s a friendly area, with parking on the street right outside the store. The owner and other people in the store helped me carry my stuff to the front, found a box to put it in, held doors and offered to carry everything to my car.
A really nice experience for the adventurous, intrepid, and seasoned thrifter.

Terrifying.
I’m a pretty hardcore thrift shopper, braving thrift stores in 3^rd world countries, and hoarders’ estate sales in condemded houses, etc, but this place defeated me. Went there based on the other review posted. Piles and piles of junk threatening to all topple on you, with barely enough room to move in between. I managed to find a few dishes odds and ends, but we must have looked like the hipster tourists that we are, cause the price he quoted was way, way too high and I bailed on the deal. If you want some battered motel furniture or 80’s vintage womens suits, this is your joint.

This is one of the «secret» thrift stores where all of us vintage-​aholics congregate. It’s dirty and smelly and HUGE!!! A warehouse, filled with clothing, furniture, books, housewares, shoes, etc. A paradise for any brave shopper!
And cheap! Did I mention cheap! However here’s the rub… nothing has a price. Now, a word of advice. The crappier you look, the cheaper your item will cost. In my experience, the owner (who prices all of the items when you check out) will significantly raise or lower prices based on how you are dressed. That may sound paranoid to people who aren’t in this business, but that’s flea marketing 101. And hey, it’s understandable. He wants his items to sell and, if he thinks he can get more $$ out of you (because you look like you have money), that’s what he’ll try to do. But, he will also bargain with you. Especially if you have multiple items. Score!
Anyway, if you aren’t afraid of a little dirt, grime, and the occasional smell of urine, this is your best bet to find «treasures beyond compare» in this city.
