Furniture is a 24 hour hold and once purchased we will allow items to sit for a max of 3 days before picking them up.
Clothing we will hold for up to 1 week unless we are having a large sale like our famous bag sale.
Are the prices at your store negotiable?
Although our main sales floor with clothing and house hold items like kitchen wears and linens are not negotiable we do have a separate room we call out Dollar Room. You will find plenty of clothing, footwear, belts, blankets and hats starting at just $1. You can also fill a basket everyday with anything in the room for on $10.
Our furniture and pawned items are negotiable depending on how much we have paid for the items or how long they have been sitting on our sale floor.
