I am a business major at Oregon State University, and visited the Folk Thrift Shop on my 24th birthday. My Mom came all the way from Portland to visit. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. My mom found 2 matching (very cool) old red vases. She was carrying them for a bit and decided I should go pay for them. As I am waiting in line a volunteer employee approaches me and says that she needs to check something on the vase. I figured they were a little cheap, and she had to adjust the price. 5 min later the volunteer returns with nothing in hand. Dumbfounded I ask her if there is a problem? She tells me the vases were supposed to be put on hold and she had been looking for them. She said they were not for sale. I was very taken back by this. Did she just take my items from me? It turns out another employee had been looking for these vases and she took them out of my hand to hold them for the other volunteer. When my mom and I talked to the gal in charge, she apologized and said she knew the situation and had already "made the decision." After I tried reasoning with her, and explaining how ridiculous that managerial decision is, she shook her head and said "life is hard." (As if she knows my life) An overall frustrating experience to have on your birthday. Will not return until they adjust their policies. Keep a watchful eye on the items you wish to purchase.

I like the womem that man the consignment counter.If your interested im supporting the O.S.U. scholarship fund.You can come into the store twice a week with fifteen items,but only on consignment days.When shopping their.I feel their exclusively modest.Oh on consignment days sign -up.And if you do.They have a elinent policy.Check it out.And one other thing.If you do come in and consign an array of item.Just about anything in " the"₩orld".oh yes before I fant.When taking a plastic number thats on the corner consignment counter and your a smig late they might give you grace...........! Forgive me I said that word The Gods are with you.

Cute little thrift shop on the street. I was exploring with my mom and found this place. We picked up a cute gold turtle pin, a trinket glass piano and a $0.45 book for me. The staff were nice. The place felt a little chaotic since they take commissions from a big crowd at a counter mostly tucked away, but it changes the feel. Also the staff were confused about what we wanted when we went to check out. I would suggest streamlining their lines if theres locational confusion. They have a cute variety of dishes, plates, cups, etc. as well as trinkets and your veritable piles of clothes and books.

This place is a wonder. Everyone that works here is a volunteer. All of the profit they make goes directly to local charities. Prices are usually good and they keep out the junk stuff. If you are a pretentious business major with entitlement issues do not shop here.
