Went to see a show at the Greek this weekend ( 7-24 ) a 5 hour drive for us . i went cause my family wanted to support this thrift store . place had a decant selection of stuff, people were nice, reasonably easy parking an accessibility however the lady forgot to add one of the items my daughter selected and left it off to the side, my daughter didnt notice an i paid there over priced 90 dollars for a few outfits an left. when she got to the motel, she realized there a missing item, we went back the next morning to get the item before we drove home and was told if it was still there, its in the pile in the back from yesterday waiting to be sorted and were told that no one would go find it even after being asked a few times by my wife an daughter . bear in mind the dress was distinctive in both color ( red ) an design (long,plain,slinky dinner dress, lots of fabric )and was left because of a mistake of the sales lady .... the treatment was kinda of a disappointment to my daughter after she made sure i went out of my way for her to shop there and support them and after the price they charge for the free stuff they get.

I fell in love with this place! Good selection for clothing. Unhappily, most of the clothes I liked didnt fit me, but if you keep looking you could find some treasures 😉

I got some decent furniture and household items from here. Unfortunately, most of the clothes are in poor condition in my opinion.

Good selection and prices. No large, but well organized. They have tag sales, certain colors tag provide a discounted price. My first time there, will definitely go back with friends. The counter service could have been more polite.

Super cool little mom and pop reseller. I like going here. Berkeleys thirtfs have awesomely raised the bar for the its still good statement. With well organized racks, I can actually find my size. Keep up the great work 👍

A good selection of goods. The prices are a little too high for me. The clothing is organized well. There are a LOT of CDs which I enjoy perusing. Ties are $2.50.

First of all, the book selection is extensive. Second of all, the woman behind the counter actually asked for my ID when I went to pay with my card. I said “thank you!”. So many people don’t do this, they don’t care or don’t know. I’m very impressed

Great value. Friendly staff. Good collection. You need a little patience to find what you love. But that to me is the real thrift store experience!

Review №17

I cant stress how much a better selection there is than the other Oakland Out of the Closet. Much less ratchet inside as well. The one person I saw working was very very nice. Affordable for the most part, although a muffin pan I had a hankering for cost pretty much as much as a brand-new one.

One of my favourite thrift stores. You can often get great deals & rare finds here. I wish they carried more dinnerware & furniture though.

Review №21

Not a good selection of stuff. some of it they shouldn’t be selling it but instead giving it away. Lived next door for two years and I knew not to bother going in there because of the quality of the things they sell. But every so often I would think maybe they fixed it or maybe it’s better than last time but nope

Not only do they benefit a great cause, but their selection and prices are better than the Goodwill nearby. It would be nice if the dressing rooms were a bit more private..

Just a suggestion.Its a second hand store. Needs more organization. Im this day and age of saving money, presentation can be huge when trying to get higher prices for used items.

Out of the Closet was clean and orderly, but did not have much of a selection. I still like them for their mission, but I dont think it holds any attraction for me.

So many rules about what they wont accept for donations... They wanted to test all the zippers and wheels on the (nice) suitcases I gave them before letting me leave

Plenty of thrift shop finds. Plus you can always donate here and it is for a good cause, they help those with HIV.

Ive learned this during this past year, the things that dont sell at at the high street out of the closet always goes here. Thats why you never find anything here. Last time I was there there was only one staff making the short line take LONGER. I dont recommend going here at all, only if you want to waste YOUR time.
