Everyone here is incredibly fun and they have the best prices and selection. They are really careful about what they take and the prices are transparent and clear. If you shop here, you will appreciate the clothes, quality and prices. If you sell, you can decide not to complete sales if you don't like your offer. I'm usually pretty happy with the offers because then it's done. I've decided to keep things once or twice, but they have to do the work of sorting, inventory, pricing, stocking etc. They have the physical location to pay for and maintain. The mental and physical work of selling it yourself on Poshmark or the like might be appealing to some people in the hope of a few more dollars but I'd rather enjoy the store, the people and the quick turnover.

The communication of this store is completely terrible with trying to sell your clothes. I had a tub of very nice Anne Klein and Ann Taylor business wear, originally I went to College park- they said "we do not accept business clothes but our Annapolis location does". I then call Annapolis to which they said yes it was fine. I go in yesterday and I tell the lady and she accepts them. Today I go in to receive my money to a different lady handing me back ALL the clothes saying they don't accept business wear. I had 3 different occasions of people telling me they did. Also to note that the woman said "we are not in association with our college park location" and laughed and said "they probably said that because they don't like our location". overall childish and poor communication.

I brought 3 bags of Fashion Nova/Shein clothes and shoes; most still brand new w/ tags. They accepted 6 brand new items for $21, which is a complete rip-off!I can say the employees were cool EXCEPT the girl with the dreadlocks she was pretty rude. I will not be going back!

Let me start by saying I agree with Ricky and Crystal, the staff is nice and very helpful, but the manger doesn’t know how to run this establishment. You’re in a college town where money is tight and I see raggedy vans and converse in the store, but she passed on my kid size men Jordan’s, UpTempos, and men jeans from American Eagle. College students want good things without the price. The store looks like a thrift store instead of a consignment shop with good buys. I also took items heels from Aldo only wore twice and she said she doesn’t take heels but I see throughout the store. I wish I had the finance to buy into this chain and place one in southern Maryland my store would diffidently out do college park and Annapolis. Annapolis store looks better but they don’t take urban clothing. I wish I could talk to whoever started this chain. I’m very disappointed when I post back what I sold the shoes for don’t be surprised.

People who have a good experience with anything don’t tend to leave reviews, the only reason I am is because of all the bad ones! I’m studying abroad and need to get rid of clothes, anything is better than nothing. Took a walk around while I waited, got a call back to pickup the rest of the items. I don’t have the time to sell each of my items individually, and it’s better to take them to a place like Uptown where they will actually be sold and worn— larger thrift stores have so much junk they end up throwing half of it all out. Workers were super nice and the selling process (and shopping) was very easy. Please practice kindness and patience, don’t base your attitude off negative reviews— you can always reject their offer!

Very friendly staff & impressive mens collection. However, I value my time and don’t appreciate waiting almost 2 hours to be told they wouldn’t take any of my items (considering I arrived 10 minutes after they opened, had 1 person ahead of me, and was told it would only take an hour). Before I made this trip I made sure to include things they were interested in according to their Facebook posts. I was told they’d take a few things but it wasn’t worth it. Pretty sure something is worth more than nothing. Anyway, I don’t plan on coming back to this location since it was a hike for me and a complete waste of my time. Not looking for an apology or a response with an excuse.

I’m going to start this review by saying this entire company is racist. No person of color especially a black person should sell their things to this company. I brought in several items that had tags on them and because they didn’t fit the stereotype of the white area that it’s in they chose to say that my clothes wouldn’t sell. I know that that is a lie because I have seen plenty of college girls in that area wearing the exact same clothing. Same time in the store I found a black woman who wanted my new leather Zara dress that was originally $70 it was never worn. I ended up selling the dress to her in this store that claimed they did not have the clientele to take my items. What I got from the store was that the ownership is racist. They only want things that cater to white people even though they are in an ethnic area such as College Park. I have found plenty of black women in this specific area who would love the clothes that I brought in but it didn’t fit the white standard in the store so it wasn’t taken. I cannot speak for the manager because she tried to run away from the situation. However the people that do work there the staff they are friendly they are lovely however I will never recommend any person of color to go to the store to bring your clothes because it’s not white enough. On top of that they took two items who were in worse condition than the rest of the clothes that were in great condition because it fit the white aesthetic in the area.

I’m not sure if it was because I came by on Friday afternoon and no one wanted to work, I was not only illy treated but also asked to bring back all the stuff they don’t buy, even after I selected the “donate to charity” option in their system. There’s also no recycle bin nearby, I have to walk one block away to drop off the rest of my stuff. Considering the extremely low price offer they gave on the items they wanted to buy, it’s really not worth the effort paying this visit. I recommend donating your clothes directly.

I am giving a one star due to the obvious following an employee with green hair was doing. She followed me and my younger sisters various times and just wandering around wherever we were when she was doing absolutely nothing or pretending to do “work”. We come to buy clothes in PEACE not to be harassed for our race or have someone think we’re thieves. She wandered around us a lot but not the white couple that was in there as well, how funny. Shame on that employee and whoever may have told her to do that. Next time she’s gonna get called out for that. Besides that, I would’ve given the store 5 stars because they have great clothes and it’s very clean. The cashier Samuel was so sweet and funny, maybe she could learn a thing or two from him.

I will start this review by saying that the workers are super friendly and nice , the reason i am giving this place a 1 start reviews because I brought in a pair of slightly used Jordan’s with the box (both with the same Serial number ) and everything to get them appraised and sold . Well I come to find out that I had to wait TWO WHOLE HOURS for them to examine the pair of shoes . They give me a call to come back into the store just to tell me they couldn’t “ authenticate “ the shoes and basically told me I brought in fake Jordan’s . They’re reason for saying this is because “ they don’t have the factory smell (obviously because they WORN Jordan’s ) and because the jump man logo had a little bit of glue that was visible (obviously from the manufacture process). It’s ridiculous to me that a store that buys and sell streetwear products can’t tell the difference between an original shoe vs a knockoff . Retros Jordan that release now a days aren’t made like they were 10+ years ago . The quality and materials they use aren’t definitely not what they used to be , now with that being said regardless of the quality its not hard to tell a real Jordan Vs a fake and mines weren’t perfect but they were in great condition with no sighs of knockout to a trained eye . So I took my business elsewhere and just shipped them to goat and check this out guys , they authenticated the pair in less then 24 hours of me shipping out the pair of shoes . Complete waste of time .
