arc Thrift Stores — Local services in Greeley

I gotta say this is absolutely the worst thrift store I’ve ever wasted time in! It’s not the cleanliness or staff there great and the organization of the store is fine easy to know where to go. The problem is they don’t have good stuff it’s like the bottom of the barrel when it comes to everything there, clothes are like grandpas worst apparel the stuff he won’t mow the lawn in! Like not a single article is worth the buy! And that’s the other thing they price there stuff like they want to hold onto it for life! The pricing is so expensive it’s literally almost retail for the free things they get from the community the turn around and shake down the community like it’s comical how far off they are with valuing there stuff. Everything is marked like 600% higher than its value! it’s almost like it’s priced to only sell on the day it’s 50%off because that’s the only time it’s anywhere close to the actual value!! Like they have a section dedicated to cords(hdmi $6.99-$10.99, freaking a thousand coaxial cables they have all marked $3.99 or more??? It’s insane how they believe that many people let alone one person would pay matter than 50 cents and not one is marked under 3.99$ its like do the community a favor with all the free things you received and sell a dam coaxial cable for 30cents to 50 cents that’s fair plus it’s ridiculous to buy beat up wranglers wore by somebody else with holes in em for 9.99$ or 12.99$ you can go to Walmart and buy brand new ones for a couple dollars more! How can you not just mark the whole store down like 70% and clear out all the ugly men shirts you’ve been holding onto for a decade rap! The manager needs to lower price there so they can sell something if not the stores is anything but...

Don’t even waste your time. Everything is filthy and broken and WAY overpriced. I have spent over $500 here the past month and they won’t even help me package my items up nice. The workers who work check out are rude. I bought a lot of glasses like 10 matching ones. I asked if they could do a set price and they said NOPE. Which fine okay, but the price was already too high. Sometimes I look on Google lense and they are selling things for the price if not more than Etsy sellers. I went to goodwill yesterday and bought pretty much the exact same amount of stuff as I have at arc the past month except only paid $100! They wrapped everything super nice and weren’t rude about it either. They also love to tape over labels so it ruins them, or tape over cracks so you can’t tell. I bought a teacup way overpriced but it was a good brand and when I got home since they taped it together the inside was soooo chipped and cracked. I bought a trinket box and it was taped so I didn’t know it was completely broken. I bought what I thought was a collectible bank for $20 and they had the sticker over where it said “reproduction” so got screwed there. And if they have a color, you won’t find any item with that color sticker that day. Go to the Brighton arc or down the street to goodwill. Both are SO much better!!!! I’m disgusted I’ve wasted so much money here and continue to be treated awful and have things breaking. The pricing is outrageous, I don’t know how they make sales because the same stuff continues to be there for WEEKS. Since I’ve been there so much I’ve heard other people be blown away by the pricing too and watched them walk out. Gross business practice for a thrift store. Goodwill can take my...

I’m a regular customer at the Greeley store. Prob their #1 customer. I’m in there everyday and I spend a lot of money there. The employees are awesome and I’m friends with a lot of them. The store manager Audrey on the other hand is a big problem. She has the pricers pricing things for retail prices in order to get sale numbers up. She told me with her own mouth that her sales were low a while back. She is not a very competent manager. You don’t tell customers that. The problem is that this store has a huge lower income clientele and a lot of mentally disabled customers who don’t really know better and are getting ripped off. I was in the store like I am everyday this morning and I saw a couple things come to the floor that were extremely overpriced. I said something to the manager Audrey about how those prices can’t be right and she started yelling at me in front of customers and employees. Unfortunately it just hasn’t been me. I’ve heard here yelling at other regular customers. I’ve also heard from a lot of people I know that shop there in this town on how rude she is. It’s a small town so word gets around quick with the regular thrifters. She has the pricers looking things up on eBay to get prices for things. I’ve been an everyday customer for years and have had really good relationships with the employees and a bunch of the previous managers. Hopefully things change soon in that store or they won’t have very...
