Love this place. So many good scores. Been going here for years. Highly recommend. Plus they’re such a good organization. I will say one thing though, they shouldn’t put paper stickers that don’t come off on top of collectible toy packaging. When you remove the sticker it damages the historic packaging.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul claims it is the largest thrift store in Los Angeles, which certainly seems true. Upon entering, it feels like an indoor swap meets market. The store offers a great variety of items for purchase, ranging from washing machines to automobiles and from large house furnishings to kitchenware and small appliances. While I found the prices fair, they were too high for my budget. Nonetheless, there is something at this thrift store for everyone. I plan to return when I have more time and money to explore further.

Came here to look at storage furniture and was shocked at the prices I’m seeing $250+ for a vintage buffet and I think I saw a credenza for $400! They are in great condition but let’s remember that these are donated items. I’m not a reseller just appreciate antiques and refuse to by manufactured wood. I was gonna donate some items here but I decided I’ll take it to Deseret industries where I always find tons of items and great prices!

It is a huge store that's true. And a good selection of furniture, some of the best I've seen at many thrift stores in LA. These are Poshmark prices. Not great. As a reseller you can probably find a few good deals when the tag is half off because it was priced too high before that. Did find a pair of like new RL tropical print kicks. $24.99 but I didn't have to pay shipping.

Stopped by around 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, November 9th, hoping to make a small purchase and donation — and left completely stunned by how dismissive and backwards this place operates. When I picked up an item without a price tag, the clerk almost seemed happy to tell me, “Oh, no tag? Can’t sell it!” — like he’d just won some kind of customer service anti-award. What exactly are they teaching people here? Instead of finding a solution or checking with someone, he just shut it down and looked proud of it. I asked to speak with a manager, thinking surely someone could just check a price or make a reasonable call. Instead, the manager looked at me with pure contempt and said, “We just send it to the back for repricing.” That was it. No offer to help, no initiative, no care. Just bureaucracy at its worst. Apparently, it’s easier to send volunteers to reprocess donations than to help a paying customer standing right in front of them. If this is the culture being modeled from leadership — to avoid helping customers, to dismiss basic logic, to take pride in not making sales — then this place is failing both its mission and its staff. I even filled out the feedback form on their website afterward. No response. Which just confirms the pattern: no accountability, no curiosity, no follow-through. It’s honestly tragic. For a cause-based organization, they seem completely allergic to problem-solving. If an item doesn’t have a price tag, don’t waste your time — they’ll happily refuse your money with a smile.
