Products We Buy
Our entire store is stocked with items that are brought to us, as we buy items from people everyday. Below is a general list of what we are looking for. Please understand that there is a large number of items that we have multiple copies of already or simply cannot sell. However, if we can sell it, we will buy it. If you don''t know what you have, we will look at ANYTHING. Don't be afraid to bring something in. Also remember that condition is EVERYTHING! This many times changes what we are willing to pay for a collection.
Due to the large amount of items coming in we encourage people to avoid bringing in their items on Fridays and Saturdays or an hour before we close. Come in at any other time for us to take a look at what you have. Our hours can be found at the bottom of the home page.
