AIM Thrift Shop — Local services in Wellfleet

We used to love this thrift store but it can hardly be called 'thrift' anymore.

Gone are the days when you can walk in and truly find a treasure at a great price. We love the wonderful volunteers and the mission and what you have done for the community-in-need on the Cape; $156,000 is a great contribution. But with the foot traffic in and out of your store and perfect location, you can be doing much more than $156,000.

I think you are forgetting about the other group who relies on 'thrift' pricing. Your pricing items at retail and even eBay Collectable prices. If your shope were named "The eBay Store" we would all understand.

Ditch the app you're using to price your items, go back to your good 'ol thrift store prices, and find a tech savvy volunteer who can quarantine special items and list them on eBay for you.

You'll make more money, you'll regain your lost customers and you'll move...

This is a wonderful thrift shop and I always look forward to seeing what treasures I might find. I find it concerning that people were complaining about wearing masks during the pandemic. This is a thrift shop and if you did not want to protect your fellow shoppers and the people running the shop from what could be a deadly disease, then you should not to shop there. One of my finds is a beautiful pottery bowl I got for $20 which was a fabulous price for such a beautiful hand made bowl. I use it all the time!...

Note that all the bad reviews condemn the mandatory mask-wearing, which isn’t generally how thrift shops are rated. It’s run entirely by elderly volunteers and the proceeds go to Outer Cape Health Services—so if there ever was a time to just stick a mask on and deal with it for 10 minutes, this is it. AIM has been a staple for 60 years, with great prices and rapid turnover of merchandise. Hit or miss, of course, but I’ve gotten some real treasures...
