City Mission Thrift Store - Washington (PA)

1 /5 David: City Mission thrift needs a reality check. Prices are getting ridiculous. I’m seeing items marked higher than what they cost to buy brand new or what they are selling for on eBay. I understand the mission is supposed to help people in need and I hope some of that actually happens. But do not forget who makes that possible. The customers and the ones donating. A lot of the people walking through those doors are struggling themselves. Thrift stores used to be a place where people could stretch a dollar. Not pay retail prices for donated goods. What makes it worse is seeing things overpriced from the start and only marked down after they sit there and do not sell. That is not helping people. That is squeezing every dollar out of free inventory and hoping someone desperate enough pays it. The wild part is even Goodwill is usually more down to earth on pricing. And they are the ones everyone always calls greedy. If the goal is actually helping the community then the pricing should reflect that. Otherwise it starts looking less like charity and more like pure greed.

1 /5 Ryan Pasquale: do not buy anything here. I just left there. I found a radio flyer Spring horse the tag on it was $25. I take it to the front register to pay and she said I have to get the manager. I think it’s marked wrong. The manager comes out and says the tag was switched if the tag was switched, and this was not done by me that person would have bought it already. this doesn’t make sense. This item was donated so before you purchase anything here check with the manager because the price might be wrong.

5 /5 chase pierson: The Washinton PA store is very nice. The new manager Sharree makes the store very nice and works hard to keep customers happy. The staff there is very nice. They do what they can to help the people. They do not control the prices. I see some people say that they are high. They do what they can to help. It’s not their fault.

1 /5 rebecca wasalasky: There was a time shopping here was fun & you could get a good bargain but not anymore. Overheard employees saying if thats what its listed for on ebay thats how we price it. Shouldnt be that way you are a thrift store that runs on items given to you for FREE, not an Ebay store. My days of shopping here have come to an end I will not return.

5 /5 Katts Monee: The agents are always helpful. Lots of pre loved items that are ìn great condition!Items you can find here Toys, jewellery,household items,picture frames, books and furniture Price is relatively fair. Its all for a good cause
