Epic Thrift is a bit lower priced than say, Goodwill or Salvation Army. Not as bad as Savers on the overpriced "antiques" either. A thrift store is a thrift store. It depends on your personal shopping style or preferences. We are rehabilitated-rockabillys so we only search for Eames era vintage items. I could only tell you that it doesn't matter which thrift store you go to, the antiques are sparse and spread out now a days. Epic is a breath of moth-ball dingy thrift store air! I like it.
