This spot is probably the only thru thrift in nyc, i came up from california, new york thrifts in general are overpriced compared, but this place actually was legit. There was alotta hoopla about the group of latin ladies who hog the clothes. They do, but shouldnt stop you from doing the same, just dont be a pushover, thats life. There was some crazy lady who yelled at me, but thats all in the game baby. Sidenote: please disregard anyone saying beware of the groups of ladies, those comments are coming from people with sheltered lives. Its laughable.

Los precios. Y los tesoros, buena ropa. Eso sí hay que tener paciencia para revisar la mercancía. Se encuentran buenas cosas. También hay muchos virus, hay que llevar desinfectante de manos. Pero eso es lo de menos.

Pienso k deberian hacerlo sin correr ,que cada quien pueda llevarse algo ,no solo un grupo k esta hay todos los dias k se creen k son los duenos y solo uno consigue la sobra de lo k ellos desechan

They act like animals wearing sacks on their waist to fill them up when new bin of clothes arrive they stand behind a line and then run like savages when they put new bins you cant shop because they grab everything from the bins would not visit again I got hurt in my stomach by a lady who pushed me and these ladies are regulars here you can tell. Not worth a visit to the doctors office

Ive been there several times. I come before the store opens but the regulars put rocks to hold their place. Incredible. Its like a prehistoric ritual. I dont think thats fair. If you want to be first, stand up in the line. Its just weird... a weird subculture is thrust upon you and you have to immediately conform. That being said, sometimes you get a nice thing here or there.

Good stuff. PROBABLY. Ive read it was hectic, but man these reviews are RIGHT. I didnt find any of what I was looking for, (Nerf), so I waited the Second Cycle Long story short people were throwing things, a guy picked up 2 whole boxes of random stuff, and a woman was wearing a HELMET I would come again, but I dont wanna take more chances than I already have

First time ever going to Goodwill and especially the Outlet. Be warned, many of the customers here are savages! When they brought out the new bins , they ran and grabbed arm fulls of clothes and ran to their carts. Just crazy and bizarre. I would only go back to get books or dvds because those bins are solitary and you find great stuff for a steal.

Yes yes very yes! Go here, why waste money at other good wills paying full price for used items when you can get them by the pound. Go in with your game face on. There will be ladies there who fill up carts for hours thinking they own the place. They can smell a newbie from a mile away. Ahahaha great place for fabric and home goods .

Muy feo . Esperaba que fuera como los goodwill de la Florida donde encuentras artículos interesantes. La verdad muy decepcionado . Venden ropa por libras

This location is not very clean but you do get a bargain always wash immediately you take with you. if you are a single mom or a struggling person with income this is the place for you . and be careful with all the latinas they will push and crab they will . but there is enough for everyone no need to get greedy or pushy.

The prices are good. Lots of designer names.books i think many customers are thrift shop owners. People grab shpping carts full of clothes without looking at things. And then sort through things lster. They the store replenishes goods every two hours.still worth a visit or ten.

Good place To find shoes and clothes but the regulars who re there daily make it difficult to find quality stuff. They stuff their garbage bags with the new merchandise the staff brings out not knowing what they are grabbing and shift through it later.

Islam Elbialy

This is a pay by the pound type goodwill. Sometimes you find good stuff here, but 90 percent of the time its just junk. Its really not worth it, as you have people who obviously spend most of their year here, push and shove you to get what they want.

Venden por Kilo la ropa y todas las cosas. Es un buen recurso para la gente de recursos escasos

Maribel Hermandez

Me gustó mucho pero es cuestión de suerte. No es fácil pero el esfuerzos que se hace vale la pena.

I donate at this outlet, very easy to do so. Maybe one day Ill go in and shop to see how it truly is, but til then Ill keep donating. I would like to see what they do with the bulk consumer electronics and goods I donate.

They dont even hang the cloth, it is all in containers, no fitting room, with every new lot there is an attack of buyers who fight to get a bit of the lot. Payment is a dollar per pound for whatever you buy.

Victoria Scott

Less than $2 for a pound of clothes! Great place to snag J Crew, Ann Taylor, Madewell, Free People, etc (often with the tags still on). Be careful not to get trampled by the stampedes of little old ladies.

patricia mejia

Horrible ropa que ni botada en muy mal estado. Y muy fea. No vuelvo.

Oh boy, be prepared to dig through piles and piles of stuff. Its clothing by the pound so definitely way cheaper than other Goodwill stores. I went in the afternoon and it wasnt crowded.

mirella lora

Buen precio en ropa usada por libra,ropa nueva vendida a precio de usada.

Frank Clementi

This place is not whats expected if youre looking to go through racks and try things on in a dressing room. Otherwise youre bound to find something of interest without a doubt.

Ken Louison

Good place to find great stuff I went their for the first time and it was amazing cheat plus why go to thrift expensive store when you can get it cheaper and by the pound.

Loretta Lowery

This is off the beaten path for me,but if you have extra time on your hands,you can get some great finds here, because everything is weighed by the pound at $1:79 or less.

Mike Zito

You pick through bins that have items such as pants, shirts,backpacks etc. Every hour they put out different bins. So really descent stuff is there for the pickers.

Matthew Velardo

Great place to find things for the cheap without sacrificing quality. Just search through the piles and I promise youll find at least one thing.

Joe Puffenbarger II

Do you like high prices on stuff that was donated for free? Than shop here. The CEO needs to fund his $3.7M per year paycheck after all!

Chapin Bryce

Does not accept furniture items. Employees may tell you otherwise but the manager instructed me that furniture is not accepted.

Georgia Piazza

This place is great. There are tons of goods to rummage threw. I have picked up many bargains and the prices are reasonable.

Nipu Mirpur

This is a palace for collector . All the collector should visit this place to enrich their collection empier .

thomas parisi

A great location that sells textiles by the pound- some very aggressive customers but worth the extra grief.
