Savvy Seconds — Local services in Boonville

Really disappointed. I've been here quite a few times over the years, my Grandma liked it. It's clean, well organized, people are nice.

Today's experience killed it for me. Savvy Seconds has this thing now where they're reselling new warehouse surplus that they buy in. Found a couple Nerf guns, still in the packaging. There was another one on the shelf that said "BROKEN" on a red sticker. We expected the two items we picked up weren't broken, as they didn't say "BROKEN" or "AS IS" like many items on the shelves. My son was so excited about new Nerf toys.

Got them home and they did not work. One wouldn't fire, one was jammed so you couldn't even load it. Immediately drove the 30 minutes back to the store to return them. Only to find out... THEY DON'T ACCEPT RETURNS. Even on their "new" stock. Does not say this on the receipt. Doesn't say it on their website. Not on their Facebook where they're constantly advertising their "new" stock. They don't tell you when you're checking out. There's a small sign on a lower cabinet kind of near the register that you're supposed to notice.

Why are you selling "new" product for nearly retail prices if you won't stand behind it? I can understand not wanting to guarantee used donated stuff. But these are supposed to be new. I spent $30 on items for my son that were supposed to be new and functional. Now we're out a chunk of change and stuck with junk. Buying the "new" stuff is not...

Found some really cool items, like a wall mirror, a cool Banksy canvas print (not his real art), a super comfy roller chair, and an almost complete tattoo chair. All for our tattoo/piercing studio in St. Peter's MO. My sister in law tipped us on these great finds, mainly the tattoo chair. It was definitely worth the trip overall, including all the cool bonus finds. It really really really was worth the drive, and we plan on going back.

I can't say much about the clothing or other items like toys or bedding items, but comparing it to other thrift stores, this place felt really clean, It didn't smell weird or anything like that and we didn't fell like we had to shower after leaving the place. I know everyone has been in some places that made you feel this way...

So it was an amazing expierance and everyone was so nice and even let us go into the back to look at the tattoo chair and then drive around back to pick it up so we didn't have to drag or carry it out the front door. Which was fantastic because these chairs are super heavy.

One of the ladies, Jessica, was very nice when we called and let us put the chair on hold until we could drive down, look it over, and pick it up... We even talked awhile afterward, and she recommended a lot of good places to get a bite to eat. Which we went to the cove and it was...

Decent store , nice cashiers, have to leave 3 stars due to the disappointment I left with. Spent about an hour here with my mom and accumulated a nice basket of stuff , found a pair of new beautiful jeans which I thought were priced at 7$ but upon check out they were actually 70$!!! Severely disappointing to say the least. Not at all what is expected when walking into a second hand store. My mom knew I really wanted the jeans and offered 45, which is already out of our budget, but the store manager declined our offer despite the fact that we had already spent about 50$ on other items aswell . These Thrift stores need to stop having the AUDACITY to charge prices like this , and the audacity to deny a customers reasonable offer when I’m already spending money. I’m very disappointed and my mom is sad she couldn’t get the jeans for me. Good luck finding another person size 0 in the middle of booneville Missouri’ that wants to spend 70 on jeans IN A...
