The Salvation Army Thrift Store

Was at this store today and some good finds were to had. Reasonable and the staff friendly. In the last few years I have noticed that prices for the things I am looking for are similar to ReverbNation, EBay and FB marketplace. For example a few years ago I saw an Omnichord at the Cedar hill store for $60 in good condition. A few months ago I saw the same model for $400. The former sold in 1 day. The latter took a few weeks to sell.Now today I had a great experience in the store. The furniture fellow kindly brought a very large PA monitor ($90 but $ 149 on ebay) and put it in my car forMe. I drove 5 minutes toward my place and realized I had left my priceless Mando Cello in its case next to my car. I called the store at 7:04 PM and the staff member answered the phone even though they were closed. She went out and it was still there! Incredible! Going there at 10 am tomorrow to retrieve it and count my blessings.One final note; the people who work at these Salvation Army stores work very hard and their workload is beyond WSB guidelines. They have quotas to meet. I have seen the good works that do to allow the mothership Salvation Army to carry some of their off centre beliefs, values and morals to the citizenry.

The store has changed the displays to make the frequently stolen items more in open view. I haven't seen as much theft going on since. I find the prices are still pretty high for used items.

I bought a microwave but the check done by employees only includes if the light turns on or not. It did but the microwave was not heating. But they do not give refunds even on products that were not checked properly. Basically had to lose all the money i paid for it.

Great place for donating quality items.

Where do you get your prices from?

Shop here almost weekly.Lately prices reached unrealistic levels, but sales help.More clothing not clean or torn, assume shortage of staff.

It's a very good shop for goods. It's clean and welk organised with nice people to serve.

Very pricey for used thrift store with all items donated

I have always found staffto be fairly un friendly the past 5 yrs ive come here weekly, to look around. nothing really terrible.. but last wk i went in and they had a new employee.and WOW!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE 1 employee can make :) there is a new gentleman working there named Cam. he has changed the entire feel of the store environment. When you walk in the store, hes happy and cheerful, everyone is greeted, AND he follows yp to make sure your finding everything ok.i know that's usually only found in retail stores such as the mall. However, you can tell everyone was having an entirely different experience while i was there, it was kinda mind blowing. Well done on bringing that young man on board. hes top notch!!

Great place to find costume stuff for community theatre
