FIRST TIME DROP OFF ?
We will go through your items with you the first time you drop off to show you roughly how we decide what to sell for you and what not to bring for next time.
Your items will still go through the pricing process approx one week later, if at that time we find and damage or stains, smell or if it is not a current style or season we may still donate it at that time.
Being our 36th year in business we are recieving more and more each year which is why with our limited space we do need to be very particular on what we will accept and what will go to donation
