No price label, you need to ask.
Quality as garage sells, price as marshell.

I loved this place when it opened last year. It was fun to play the game of mystery. Right around Christmas time things changed and they stopped following the daily prices. They always have taken their higher priced items out and separated with much higher prices then they advertised daily but I understand.
They started then selling certain items that they had bulk of by a firm price. For example boots were $12, sandals were $5, DVDs were $5, sunglasses $5, and leggings $3 etc. then once we went and they gave us a huge bag for $15 we were allowed to put everything we wanted in it from two certain bins of items. Also the items for the daily deals were very picked through and most of it was just trash.. Next and last time I went was about a week ago. I found nothing.... It was so sad.
No good deals. No mystery fun.
Everything had a individual price. Only one bin had things being offered for the daily price and it was all crap. Very disappointed

Drove out to meet them about item listed on OfferUp and they said they just sold it right before I got there. The item had been listed for over a month, I find it hard to believe it just sold that morning right after they messaged me to come pick it up. The rest of the store was like a poorly organized Goodwill store with random crap thrown on shelf through the store. Most of the inventory looks like retail returns.

I only went once out pure curiosity. Prices are not posted and not all items are included in their bin deals. Kinda misleading a little bit but still decent deals for cloths and random items. Owner was kind and respectful and will give good deals on the small bin items on non dollar days.

All in all it was a decent store and I found plenty of things to take home.

I have been coming to shop here since they opened and I have found a lot of good deals. Each day of the week is the price of the bin items that day unless otherwise marked.
It is a fun mystery shopping game where you pick through returned, unwanted, undeliverable packages or items in as is condition. Some things are brand new in package, some are missing something, some have box damage, some have been returned for no reason, some are broke, some are parts, sometimes there is a bit of trash too.
Most days you can find at least one good deal, every once in a while there just isn't anything good.
Go frequently and you will figure out the strategy in getting the best deals.

I prefer this establishment over other bargain stores. Saturdays, particularly in the morning, are ideal; the best discoveries vanish within half an hour, ensuring a high chance of finding valuable items for your money.

Recent Developments:
Previously, I enjoyed visiting because of the great drone finds. However, it appears they now retrieve drones and attempt to sell them for $65.

Additionally, it would be helpful to have insight into the frequency of bin restocking. My understanding is they restock only once, which means if you miss the morning rush, there won't be another opportunity.

I went once in a mid day of the week low prices but nothing worth the taking I have been to a similar store elsewhere that seemed to be better organized with things worth the money (even if you didn't need them ) good to know where they're at I'll be surprised to be back in and actually buy something
