Ye Olde Thrift Shoppe

There are much better places with better taste and a nicer staff!
I heard about this consignment shop and decided to check it out. Not only was I there to shop but I also had some high end consignment brands to bring in. When I entered the store the lady with the curly hair was rude right from the start. Though there was no one else in the store she made me wait over a half an hour to look at the consignment pieces that I had brought in. Starkly telling me, consignment starts at 10:30. She also made me hang up all of my pieces before looking at them. I did with no gripe and told her to take her time.
As I looked around the store and waited for her patiently she seemed to be taking a very long time to do nothing more than write prices on tags and move clothing from one rack to another. Couldn’t that wait until after I leave? It’s not like there’s a rush of people, it’s 10:00am on a Thursday!
She went through all the things that I had hung up which included a Burberry skirt, black Christian Dior vintage blazer, United colors of Benetton blazer and alpaca sweater. The shoes I brought in were a beautiful pair of hand tooled leather cowgirl boots that had only been worn twice in a size 8 ½ along with a pair of Italian-​made never worn vintage loafers.
All of the items were gently worn and were in excellent condition, better condition than anything she had hanging up on her racks and also better brands. As I looked through the racks I was very confused as to what she was buying. All of the pants skirts shirts and jackets and dresses were very outdated and not of great quality. The jewelry looked like the cheap $ 5 things from forever 21… From 7 years ago.
She then told me that my stuff was outdated and that she wasn’t interested and then made me take them off the hangers that she made me hang them on in the first place!!!
Curious about her business since I saw such low quality pieces, I asked her how long she had been in business? She responded with a snide, «oh only 38 years, we have quite a following». As I left she then asked if I wanted to take a business card which I responded, no thank you I know where you are (and I’m never coming back).
I am an owner of a small business in the next town over and I would never dream of treating a client like that. I was nothing but pleasant and patient with her.
I would avoid this consignment shop, there are much better ones in the area, I have no idea how this shop has been in business for this long!

I absolutely LOVE this place. I will be coming back more often. Wish they didn’t close so early because I walked in at 3 and had to rush trying things on at 3:50 because they close at 4. Other than that found so many nice things and jewelry. Cute little small store also :) Barbara is a doll.

Agree with Suzanne D’s review. But given the prices which are the lowest in Bergen County I hit this place on a very regular basis. The elderly couple that run the shop are now helped by their daughter. Remember to put what you tried on back on the rack or expect a slight scolding. The hours are a bit limited so I have to make a point to remember the hours but well worth it. I also usually pick up my cheap sunglasses from here at $ 2 to $ 4 dollars. Parking is in the back as parking on Kinderkamack is impossible.

It’s all about the timing here to find some great buys. They do rotate the merchandise regularly. Though haven’t been here in years. Happy to see they’re still in business :)
