Love love love this place! Am I warmly greeted as soon as I step in the store? No. But I don’t go there for conversation, I go there for great finds! I typically do not even browse clothing at resale shops. But every time I’ve dropped in here I have left with at least one top — White House Black Market, Express, the Loft… all great condition and $ 8 or less. Also lots of expensive name brand purses, which I’m sure I would buy too if I ever carried one. Yes, the space is small. I like to dig so I don’t mind that it’s not super organized(though they do a nice job given the limitations). You won’t find much furniture or larger items, and I tend to circle the store several times before I feel like I’ve seen it all. I’ve bought shirts, vintage sheet music and maps, jewelry, vintage sewing notions, vintage hair dryer(just for fun!). Other FYIs: $ 15 minimum on credit card purchases, and there’s usually only one night/week that they’re open past 6 so I can stop in on my way home from work. Worth checking out!

I always find something every time I go there. They have things for men, women, children, households and all at affordable prices. I get my whole work wardrobe at New For You. Everyone who works there is really friendly and helpful. I bring things here as well on consignment, and then use the money to buy more items! My favorite resale in the area.

I went on a thrift shop binge this morning and I’m sorry to say New For You Resale was my least favorite of the bunch. It’s just across the road from me so I’m sad I don’t like it more than I do. When I first walked in, everyone working was discussing lunch options and didn’t acknowledge my presence. As I walked around the only time someone spoke to me was when I was in her way(very narrow paths in here) and she pretty curtly said«Hi.» Sad! Similar to my buddy Cher Z., when I walked in I was overwhelmed by the amount of things there. There is some organization to everything but in general it’s just tons of stuff everywhere. Although divided into separate sections(housewares, men’s clothes, a room with kids toys & clothes, etc), everything is just piled on top of each other. Because of the huge amount of items, what you will find really varies. I saw some cute earrings near the register but didn’t pull the trigger. Items are in varying conditions and the prices are a bit higher than comparable stores I visited today. They did have some pretty random cool items like cat paintings, creepy clown figurines, wooden calendars! In a sea of resale shops that are gathering money for great causes, I’m going to skip shopping here in the future. However, they do consignment if you’re looking to sell items.

There are very nice people here. We have placed items on consignment as well as made purchases. One does not have to wait for months to be paid for sold items either. Plan on spending a consderable amount of time looking around and enjoy!

This is a nice small shop in the mall where I also commented about Thai Cuisine and will comment on the Subway here. The shop is nice and chock full of knick knacks and clothes… alot of stuff. People I guess drop it off and… if you are familiar with the Goodwill stores to me its something like that, but it seems more personable as the couple of times I been in here patrons knew employees on first name basis. Bought a couple of old vintage pics and plan to come back to get a cook book for my sis and just see what else it has… I mean where else could you find an 8 Track cassette? Joyce Joanne and Mo would be more than happy to help you out.
