This place has potential, it’s a cute shop in a great location. They have tons of local artists items and lots of earrings. On Fridays it’s mandatory to wear masks, the people working there aren’t necessarily rude but they aren’t friendly at all. I was basically yelled at to put on a mask because it’s Friday, not even sure what that means. Prices are a little on the high side but with location it’s expected.

Lake and Bronwyn are so kind and helpful. 10/10 stars for these lovely humans. I always love coming here. Thanks for being a great staple in the community B Resale 💗

A colorful and well-organized spot for thrifting clothing! The sizes are clearly marked, and they have a fun selection of jewelry and accessories. I didn't find anything in particular this time around, but I would definitely come back!

This store pays better than most for clothing. I also like that it is Queer. If you look at their about info, it says that they wanted to create a space where people can just “b themselves.” What’s odd is that they have this vibe of pointed unfriendliness. I totally support their not putting on some forced, inauthentic customer service show. But not even being greeted when you walk in the door—even after you have said hello to them—feels weird and lonely. Being treated like a fool for having screwed up your appointment time feels awful and embarrassing. That all seems counter to their mission. A lot of trans/queer folks struggle with feeling isolated. We struggle with disproportionate trauma and disproportionate neurodivergence. Someone could walk in that door having just lost their cat, having just been cut off by their family, having just lost their job. Taking a moment to connect with them as a human could really help. It is not exaggerating to say that a positive micro interaction in a store like that could save someone. There have been periods of my own life in which the only human contact I had in days was someone at a retail store; there were people who really made a difference in my life by being briefly kind. I am an old, white trans guy who passes for cis, and my best guess is that I may be treated extra dismissively because I look like an old white cis dude. That’s fair, except that’s not what I am. Not everyone is going to “b themselves” in an overt way. We’re all giant queer weirdos until proven otherwise, and I think in a space that advertises itself as queer, it could be really helpful to consider letting your patrons, many of whom probably feel or have felt invisible, know that you at least literally see them. Long-ass review, but that’s my little take on the deal for what it’s worth.

My number one spot to sell and shop secondhand. I’ve stopped going to other resellers because b.resale buys more from me than other resale shops - you do have to make an appointment on their website which is about two weeks in advance but it’s worth it. They have a great selection of actual vintage, local makers, and pre loved items. They’re queer, poc, and immunocompromised inclusive, feature pop ups with local creators, and give back to the community - there’s a free bin outside that you can donate your unsold items to for people in need. They also have an Instagram where they make cute outfits of their products that you can buy direct from and pickup in store. Don’t listen to the other reviews that say the workers aren’t nice - they don’t owe you kindness, they’re just doing their job and they’re great at it! I’ve never had a bad experience here, i always swing by when I’m in the area, even when I have nothing to sell. I could sing my praises all day, I just love this shop so much

Very nice thrift store. Kinda pricey, but not as bad as some nearby competition. They curate a good selection here, every piece is something i would actually want to wear!

Very very cool store with some funky and artsy pieces. Really friendly staff and fun community. Love the weekly pop-ups as well.

One thing that I don't appreciate about this store is how they don't check their donated items thoroughly to make sure that there aren't any stains or weird smells. For example, I almost bought this green top, but once I tried it on my lungs were engulfed by the smell of nicotine. I reported it to one of the people who worked there, and when I told them how bad this smelled, they didn't care. Instead, they put it back on the shelf right in front of me. This place constantly advertises how these clothes are "lightly worn" when they really aren't. I found several other items just like this, or ones that had really bad stains on them. I don't care whether it's cute or not. People are not going to buy items that have a strong putrid smell of nicotine. Do better
