Bangor ReStore, HFH — Local services in Bangor

As much as i love that we have a local restore, it isnt that great. I love shopping for materials for a great price along with helping a great cause but the Bangor location doesn't check prices before listing them inside. I have gone inside and they want 15 bucks for a cutoff of sheetrock, which is 15 bucks for a new full sheet. They want a lot of money for arbitrary items, and very rarely ever want to negotiate on price, so it sits in the corner for 6 months to a year collecting dust. I've asked if they accept storm windows, which i have been answered with no, but i walk inside to see storm windows trying to be sold. I do like helping a cause but what exactly does listing items at a price at or above resale value actually help? I like restore but since they moved from Washington St, it has gone downhill. Im edting my review 8/23/23 as i checked out the store again and the prices are worse. Ive seen paint brushes that shouldnt be more than 5 bucks, listed at 20 bucks. Used electrical boxes that are 90 cents new, at 4 bucks. Ive seen a pad of office paper listed for 20 bucks. The windows are terrible, they seem to claim the windows are in new condition but they are bordering 30 years old, the aluminum is either worn or ripped off with the wood fading or rotting, the sash cords are broken off some of them, and they want 90 bucks for them, when they arent even worth 20 at most. There are some half decent ones sitting there with no price but i dont even want to bother asking because im not prepared to negotiate some price thats still going to be atrocious even if talked down. I know peoples opinions on prices are subjective, but in my opinion half the stuff sits there for 6 months until they just throw it out or finally mark it down. Theyre always on the website saying how good business is, but theres hardly anyone there shopping at anytime. I know the store probably wont care about my opinion but they really need to change because it was a great store years ago, and i really dont want them to shut down over the most...

So my friend n i went in Wednesday to kill some time before my dentist appointment. They were bringing some kitchen cabinets to the floor I asked the woman how much are they going for. At the time she wasn't sure. I told her I was very interested because we were basically living out of boxes. I asked her if she she could call she assured me she would call n let me know I left my name n number. My friend asked me today if they asked me back I said no so I called n someone told me they were sold. I was shocked n upset 😡 i told her I will never step in that store nor give my money n donate ever again. I told her I would doing a review n letting my family n friends don't ho there. N they won't. I will be calling back Tuesday to let the owner know what she did was wrong. I work in customer service n we...

Scammer store: They dont even look there stuff, and prices through the roof. I got broken tv from them. Two other time they sold me broken stuff like towel holder.They told me they had not turn it on that I could take home try it come back with it, if was broken. I didnt even want money ask for store credit. and I had buy a cord for it also and after got it and turn it on it was smashed. They wouldnt take it back.
