The Elite Repeat Salvation Army

This was a really awesome thrift store. If you’re looking for clothes, it is organized by color and very neat. I found many brand name items that were brand new with tags still on them. Everything is reasonably priced. I found the DKNY trench coat for 40 bucks, and many lightweight jackets and sweaters for $ 6. They mainly have clothing but they also have some furniture and knick-​knacks.

This place has a great selection. I love how they color coordinate the clothing! Everything is neatly displayed. I’m usually greeted by the salesperson when I walk through the doors. They have sales and new markdowns quite often. It’s not too pricey. I tried on about a dozen tops today and only one of them had an imperfection (missing some buttons). I bought four tops that look just like new. One of the tops I bought still had the tag on from the original store. The four tops costs me around $ 14 which isn’t too bad in my opinion :-)

This is one of the most well organized and clean second hand stores I have ever visited. I am an avid treasure hunter and have been in literally thousands of second hand stores. The management and staff do an excellent job keeping the merchandise orderly and clean. I will be visiting this store on a regular basis. Keep up the good work Elite Repeat.

The managers here scold and belittle the employees in front of customers. It’s happened every single time I’ve shopped here. The prices are also pretty unreasonable for a «thrift» store. Half of the items in their Antiques/​Collectibles section are cheap antique reproductions, priced at antique store prices. Lots of fake designer purses here too, priced as though they were authentic. They can be rude to the customers too, but they are located in a part of town with a lot of vagrants, so I know they put up with a lot. The store is clean and well-​organized which is why they get 2 stars instead of 1.

I’ve visited this shop on three occasions, and if it were for the selection of items alone, I’d give The Elite Repeat a solid four stars, no problem. However, the pricing on their items makes the prospect of taking anything home unrealistic. You could reasonably visit a retail store along the lines of Walmart or Target and have purchased an identical item, unused, for a significantly cheaper price. I’d really like to see someone on staff reevaluate the worth of the items offered.

Whoever is doing the pricing here is insane, it’s a thrift store not an antique store. $ 100 for a golf club? Really? $ 20-​$ 50 for little nick knacks that are not worth this much online. The east ave store has MUCH more realistic prices.

Walked In today only to find they have really raised their prices. This used to be one of my favorite thrift stores, but their prices for used clothing is crazy! $ 8 for a used top from Wal-​Mart? $ 20 for a pair of old Navy jeans? Really?

Large inventory of women’s clothing jeans, shirts and dresses. Organized, clean and friendly service. Good variety of Men’s clothing. Good location. They also have a good selection of furniture. If you thrift this store is must be in the rotation.

This place is a great place to shop. I found several shirts for 6.50 that would be well over 50.00. Just remember to check them over completely. One of the shirts I purchased had a rip in it. They have a great selection of shirt, shoes, jeans and jackets. Remember you can also drop off donations to this store. It always feels better to get a bargain in today’s times.

The great thing about shopping a thrift store in a true college town? There are lots of choices in the size 10 – 16 realm that didn’t get nabbed the minute they were put out. Yes, the prices are high for a «thrift» store. No, they don’t have what I would consider «designer» brands. They do have the typical department store brands, and higher quality items. The two dresses I got were still NWT, and deeply discounted from their original retail price. If you take the time, you can find some deals here, and if not deals, at least cute, quality clothing. This could be a great place to pick up items for your Ebay store. They also had lots of cute shoes and handbags. The staff was friendly, and they now have fitting rooms.

This is the Salvation Army «quality» store. Their East Ave location is a normal thrift store but this one is more like an antique store. The quality of merchandise is good but the prices will give you sticker shock. They wanted $ 5 for an old can opener, $ 15 for a vinaigrette bottle and $ 10 for a juicer bowl attachment for an old Hamilton Beach mixer even though it was missing most of its parts. The furniture is better quality then most thrift stores but I didn’t see a single piece that was under $ 200. If you are looking for deals, go elsewhere.
That said, this is the location where they accept donations and offer services to the homeless and low income people. They are always friendly and helpful and really do provide valuable services to people in the community.
2 stars for the «thrift store» but 5 stars for everything else, including the staff.

I am posting this more about the donation services and Salvation Army in general. I just dropped off some donations today, and I am always glad to do so when I can. First, most of the time they seem generally happy to get them, they take care of people as needed to the best of their abilities BEFORE they try to spread their message which I do not particularly agree with. There is more to the story though.
When my mother was young in the 1930’s, The salvation army came through for her when her family was in desperate need. Furthermore during World War 2 they came through for the POW’s without fan fare, while other charities actually CHARGED the prisoners for goods/​services delivered.
It left an impression with her, and she passed it down to me. I salute these people for doing what they think is right, and I will continue to donate to them and support them.

Super clean! The staff is always so friendly and helpfully. Everything is very organize. I love coming here.

I will give it to this store they have great items so why the low stars? The prices are absolutely outrageous on home items and furniture. There is several pieces of furniture in the store over $ 1000, yes $ 1000. I don’t go to thrift stores to spend that kind of money and I am more interested in «finds» I could not believe some of the ridiculous prices when I went there today. $ 35 for a chicken shaped butter dish? or $ 15 for a mass produced bird plate? $ 12 for salt and pepper shakers? This place is not good for finds and would be more well suited to someone with a larger wallet than I. Yes some of the items here could be considered vintage or antique or whatever but I would not be purchasing these items as a collector but instead for home décor. They are charging retail prices for items and definitely not for people wishing to get a deal.

Love — Love — Love this store! I thought it was going to be overpriced and pretentious, but imwas so wrong. Great finds to be had here. I went there looking for a handbag and ended up buying one that was a designer brand, hardly used and got it for only $ 5. The purse had been in the store for over 3 weeks, so it was 50% off the already low price of $ 10. Turns out it is a $ 320 purse! Score! Also, they have sales/​specials and on the day I was there it was 75% off plus sizes — right up my alley. I was pleasantly surprised to find their plus sizes separated into their own section, as most thrift stores put them in with the average sizes. The staff there are super nice, and one of them even showed me some blouses that she thought I might like. Lots of books with hardbacks only $ 2. DVDs are $ 3.50 and they had some good titles. They had some nice housewares too. I highly recommend checkicng this store out!

Dog friendly!
Thrift store lovers must check out Elite Repeat! Well organized, spacious and good deals. Usually when Goodwill, etc… open these boutique type places, they jack up prices so high that it’s cheaper to shop at Marshalls. That was not true here.
I found a great Ann Taylor navy blue dress with tags for $ 6.99. There is not a huge mens department so hubby wasn’t really interested. They do have a popular jewelry section but I didn’t find anything.
Nice staff. They all cooed over the poodle girls and made them feel welcomed.
Love this place!

I don’t get to shop here very often, but I find if I set aside some time to go through the entire store, I always find several things that are priced really well. $ 5 pairs of shoes, $ 7 dresses. I even bought an amazing large vase– red leaded crystal– for $ 25.
Sadly, there’s no dressing room to try on the goods, so one must be Houdini in front of the mirrors. ;-)

This is a great thrift store. They specialize in brand name clothing and collectibles. If you’re looking for good quality, used items this is the place. Although they tend to price things on the higher side because of the brands. Don’t forget to bring quarters for the meter.

Elite Repeat is an «upscale» version of the Salvation Army second-​hand store, carrying items such as clothing & accessories that range from simply nice through designer, furniture (some antique), jewelry, musical instruments, books, and china/​glassware.
Overall it is a pretty good place to shop, though you may not consistently find what you are looking for. I typically come here for clothing, which tends to run around $ 6 – 12 per item (excluding coats and the such). Most of the fancy coats and gowns are very out of style. Pricing of the non-​designer items scattered within often seems skewed upwards, though the occasional awesome deal (sometimes brand new with tags attached!) will usually make up for that.
