York Community Service Association Thrift Shop — Local services in York

This thrift store was quite a diamond in the ruff a few years back. Since things started to get back to so called normal after covid, the prices have gone sky high on their donated furniture, collectibles and jewelry.

Unfortunately when I got home I plugged in it to use and it turns on, but it does not play DVDs! It lingers on the home screen and nothing happens. I know I only paid $10, but it was just a waste of money since I am going to have to throw...

I used to frequent this place often.. in fact after I bought my home I furnished half of it with great finds and treasures I found at YCSA Thrift Shop! Sadly after covid happened and things started to get back to so called normal thry seemd to stay the same in one area but differentin another.. meaning, they were one of the last places to lift their mask mandate and the number of people allowed in at a time. On top of that, this is a thrift shop where items are donated so seeing around every corner and shelf that Inflation has hit them harder then some regular stores has me absolutely flabbergasted.. the only thing that didn't increase was the...
