Pennies For Heaven Resale — Attraction in Dallas

I visited this place for the first time over the weekend based on the great reviews I've read but I wasn't thrilled with my experience or some of my purchases.

First, the store is really cramped. It's awesome because they have a ton of stuff but it's also an issue when it's difficult to maneuver to look through their items. Secondly, there are no buggys or baskets. Honestly there is no room for buggys but a basket would have been nice. Third, the pricing is kind of all over the place for non-clothing items and even on some clothing items.

After spending about an hour in the store I found a few things. The ladies were polite asking if I needed a fitting room and seemed pretty attentive to the other guests. Finally, when I checked out the items I purchased were supposed to be $4.99 each but when I got home I realized they rang everything up at $5 flat. Please note that the 1 cent difference isn't the real issue, it's the fact that they didn't ask and charged me a different price than what was quoted. Had they asked if I wanted to round up then I wouldn't be upset but the fact they just did it bothers me and it's a shady business practice. Also, once I was home and in better light I found that 3 of the shirts I purchased are damaged (stained) and this thrift does not...

2001 - revisited. Prices have gone even higher! I don’t think they should be able to use the terminology ‘thrift stores’ in their advertisements. When you think of resale, you think of cheaper not more expensive!

1999- I love resale/thrift stores. Have visited this one several times, but they are just WAY too expensive. $150 for art prints. $350 for an old sewing machine. $70 for a purse. $20 for a pair of shoes. Fill a bag of clothes off ‘certain’ racks for $40. A dress for $500. These are not bargain deals a resale shop should normally have. They ask more than when these items were brand new. :( They have sales often, but if they kept the prices low to begin with, they could move things quicker and make more money. Everything is marked way too high, not worth the price they are asking, even if it’s for a good cause as they state. Friendly staff and clean store, they just need to be aware of their prices and their average consumer in...

I had the opportunity to wander into this store on a random rainy day recently. I stumbled upon one of the best resale shops in Dallas. I have been an avid thrift store shopper all my life, frequenting them in almost every city I visit. I love finding those hidden treasures that tell a story, practical items that are practically new, and unique stylish pieces I would never find anywhere else. This store had a balanced combination of all of these, and it was clean and well organized and easy to browse through (unlike a lot of other resale shops). The people there were so friendly, and I love the idea that the money I spend there goes towards a good cause. Tucked away in a cute area of North Dallas, surrounded by other awesome small businesses and great spots to eat (Cowboy Chicken!), you should add this to your list of shops to visit...
