Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County ReStore Crystal River — Local services in Homosassa Springs

Oh my goodness!!! Someone needs to take a class in business and learn how to price items at thrift stores. $675 for a vintage milk glass lamp that sells for $60 on eBay. They have the same cuisinart ice cream makers that are stained yellow from use and they have been there for over a year because they want $30 each. They sell brand new on Amazon for $40!! Every other thrift store sells them for $5-$10. I could go on and on. I should’ve taken pictures but I was so shocked I just wanted to get out. I will never step a foot in there again, they charge full price for used goods that they pay $0 for. I love thrifting and I genuinely want to support these charitable causes but I also want to get a good deal. I almost always find at least a few things for a good price when I go into a thrift store but EVERYTHING was four times as much as all other thrift stores in the area. It’s a shame! You don’t make more money for your cause by charging those outrageous prices, you simply lose sales and customers because NO ONE is willing to pay that much for PRE-OWNED things from a...

Jamie short you sound a bit unimformed but you first have to realize that the things have a cost even though they are donated. The items have to be either picked up or are dropped at the local store they are then processed through the system where they are cleaned, and perhaps fixed. The building has to be payed for and the people that work there have to be paid and of course there are the bills that have to be payed like water, sewer, trash, electric and so on. Many of the people who work there are volunteer however some are paid and have to be so that there is a degree of accountability. In a perfect world I am sure that habitat would love to be able to give it all away but they still have to not only pay the operating expenses for the store but they also use any left over money to fund new construction so they can put deserving families in low or zero interest mortgages. If you would like more info on this matter leave me a message through this site and I'll be happy to...

I support all the H4H stores because they help build homes for needy, eligible people. Like any thrift store that relies on donations for its inventory, you never know what it's going to have. They carry building supplies (doors, lights, plumbing, flooring, paint, etc), furniture, books, major and small appliances, dishes and cookware, as a rule. No clothing; primarily the making of or furnishing of a house is what their focus is for donations and for their store's inventory. H4H accepts cash and major credit cards. They offer a military discount for items that are not on sale. They are usually running some sort of sale every week. There is plenty of off street parking. The exterior doors do not have automatic door openers, so if you are using a walker or a wheelchair, you will need assistance in getting the door open. At least there are no steps to navigate. Their hours are restricted right now with later opening and earlier closing to allow for extra cleaning as a result of...
