Buying Days/Times/Guidelines:

Buying Days: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays | 10:00 AM–1:00 PM

Please note: As inventory fluctuates, we may occasionally pause buying &/or in select styles, sizes, or categories. We recommend checking our Weekly Buying Updates—posted every week on our Instagram and Facebook—or calling the store before coming in, as our buying focus may vary by category, size, or season.

On our designated Buy Days, no appointment is needed. Upon arrival, please scan the QR code at the front desk. Buying decisions typically take 10–15 minutes. We kindly ask that you remain in the store while we review your items to help keep the process running smoothly.

We are unable to accept drop-offs outside of designated buying days and times. As we are not a donation center, any items not selected must be taken with you.
