I absolutely love this Goodwill. Amazing items, staff, and prices. Yes, some things are marked up VERY high (Ive paid $100 for a pair of shoes here more than once), but usually those things are absolutely worth the price, and if not, just dont buy it! This location gets excellent donations, and Ive found numerous amazing pieces here: from furniture, to shoes, to artwork. I bought a condo down the road just so I could come here 2x+ a week. Though if youre not fond of a slightly pushy staff (theyre ultimately there to push product and make money; its like all relationships in life: you be nice and theyll be nice), a questionable crowd of shoppers (homeless, drunk, on drugs (some people, some times)), then just dont shop here. Though when you find that special item that you cant believe someone actually donated, youll suck it up and be a frequent shopper like I am.

For selling items not a good place. Hip? mmm... questionable. Prices they offer are almost poor and not in balance with the actual item. IE they offered me more for an item than I paid brand new, and less than 7 percent on another item that WAS brand new. Not real sure they have a full handle on what is trendy and what is not. For buying... stuff is really picked through. Can get almost anything they have at the local goodwill. Not impressed.

Went in there to donate a bunch of clothes that the thrift store I went to didnt want. When I asked for donations, they just pointed at the bin as if I were a nuisance. When I asked about getting a receipt, they stared blankly at me and said no receipts. If I didnt have such a heavy load of clothes, I wouldve simply walked out of there with my clothes.

Im always a fan of Goodwill and its mission. You have to really look through all of their garments to find one that fits and is clean/not damaged, but when you do, its a great value. I also enjoy that I can bring donations here, keeping my closets light.

The store had very friendly staff. The options were huge and the clothes were arranged according to size and type which was the most helpful bit. Prices were umm... reasonable for goodwill stds.!

Good place to drop off your unwanted stuff, and (I imagine) a great place to find student essentials around graduation time or on Allston Christmas (Sept 1)

This place was very helpful and friendly. I would have given 5 stars but the parking situation is tough. Took ALL of my donations, which made me very happy

Ive had particularly good luck here for womens clothes.. Stylish and generally good condition. Price is right! Some of the employees are rude though

Good size store. Not always a lot of finds though, but a good option because Urban Renewal (big thrift store) is right down street.

Very easily visible, which is a plus. One drawback is there is no place to leave the donations if the store is closed.

This goodwill is right near BU. Came too look for disposable items for a Halloween costume and will never come back.

Bought some cheap furniture from here during move-in. If youre persistent, you can come across some great finds here

I come here often to check on the lamps and mechanical goods. Much better selection than the one in Cambridge.

The best times to go are right before and after all the BU kids move in or out. Always find something good!

The store is great if you dont have something specific youre looking for, and just want to browse.

Save your time. Everything that is decent is marked way up. Shop at Marshalls, buy new and save.

Pretty small Goodwill location, and usually pretty picked over by the college students

Its ok. Much randomness can be found here... Once in a while, a buried treasure

Theres pretty good quality stuff here, owing to the BU crowd that donates.
