I was excited to look at thriftique because I've never been to the shop before but after that visit I was left confused and unimpressed. Their items are so expensive for things that are used. When I walked in there was a beautiful couch and I was immediately drawn to it. It was pretty big, one of those ones that wrapped around but did not have any recliners on it. I thought let's sit on it and see. Comfortable but worn would be how I would describe it. Then I look at the price tag, $3,000. I was appalled. I've seen couches like that no one's have have ever used for that price. Who do they think they are charging $3,000 for a couch that was used!
After taking a little tour of the place and looking at the clothes and the rest of the furniture I realize that all of their prices were about that high. I understand that some of the stuff was a little bit better than Goodwill but it was not worth the price. If things are going to be used then they need to be priced as such. And I have no problem buying used clothing or furniture but not when the prices are outrageous. There was a dress that was priced at $25 and didn't even have the belt that went with it. I just ended up sitting on that $3,000 couch and waiting until my friends were done checking everything out.
I'm all for reusing and recycling and making a profit, but I think that their prices we're too outrageous for even me to consider. And if someone is really in need a lot of their prices would be totally out of their range. Even the tables and chairs with scratches and obvious wear and tear were about $200. I don't know anyone who's going to be buying a used table for $200. But maybe I'm wrong.
I might go back just because it's in the neighborhood but I doubt that I'm going to be purchasing anything from them anytime soon. I would hope to see some changes in their price structure or at least some sales. Because of right now the prices are just not worth it for the items in that store. Hopefully some changes might be made.
