    For men, there's not a selection of clothes that's worth the trip. Would recommend Housing Works Thrift which is a few blocks down the street.

    Don't make the mistake of having them donate items as they select items to buy. I returned to see what they selected, which was supposedly "none", but then they couldn't show me the "donate" pile???

    It's not as good as the Williamsburg or Manhattan stores but its ok. I probably won't be coming back though. The quality finds are few and far between and it lacks organization.

    A good time! Designer gently used bargains, a lot of ny indie labels. Bring in some gently used high end pieces for trade. Always good pieces on the racks, nice staff, good music.

    If you've never been in a fight but always been slightly curious, selling clothes here is exactly what it feels like to be hit in the face.

    It's hit or miss, but it's fun to rummage through their selection & most things are affordable. Better than the Williamsburg location, staff still sucks though.

    When dropping items off to sell, make sure you keep a tally of what you gave them and check the rejects afterwards as sometimes they "forget" and take something without including it on your receipt.

    More examples of how the employees are rude: rushed me in and out of there, they close at 9 but kick everyone out at 8 and didn't let me try stuff on, very snobby and unfriendly women working there

    Totally disrepectful and rude. Accused by staff of taking a bag from hold section but they would not view the tape. Instead they were degrading and demanded I leave. Never shop here. Nasty owner.

    Found an incredible leather jacket here...for 10 bucks! Great deals and even better clothes. Definitely will go back.

    They never take the nice stuff I have, which means they take almost none of my shit. Mega snobby clothes pickers. But it's cool I guess.

    Very rude staff, definitely fit the mean new yorker stereotype, came 2 hours away to sell clothes and told me I was late even though it was over 2 hours till they close, the Williamsburg one is better

    Most threads cost $11 to $23 (the latter for, say, a nearly new Paul Smith jacket from a season or three ago, or an Italian Sisley wool coat). Read more

    This place is super disorganized and filled with mostly ugly unwearable clothes. Odd Twin is better!

    Be prepared to spend some time. You will find at least 1 or 2 bargains you like. Organized and clean. Try things on, no return policy.

    The selection can be hit or miss, but when it’s on, you can walk out with a ton of clothes for cheap. Don’t miss the shoes! Drop off your clothes for store credit or cash. Very selective.

    An institution in Brooklyn's vintage clothing sector. It's hit and miss in here, but worth it to search for the few gems lurking beneath the hipster sun dresses.

    They have a showroom seller in the neighborhood who sometimes drops things off like a $30 NWT Catherine malandrino dress!
