Finger Lakes ReUse Inc

They used to be a great place for used items of all kinds, but for some reason are terribly overpriced now. Strange since they just got a huge grant to build a bigger store.
They are great if you need a laptop or wall wart power supply right away, but you can get a new one for less if you order online.

This 2 star review is not based on the employees or the location which are quite good. This is based on the pricing of goods that at times are more expensive than new box store items. I do appreciate and practice the art of recycling in as many ways as possible. But alas, I feel the store used to support a broader base of the low-​income spectrum. Prices have consistently climbed in the last 2 years and items such as pressure cookers that are missing pieces, irons, and other household items are out competed by Amazon (used items).
Yes, I still do find those killer deals, and I will still intermittently shop there.

A larger variety of items ranging from dishes., Old radios, washer, kitchen counters, to furnitures!
I bought a lot of nice dishes here together with a corner study desk! The price are extremely reasonable and perhaps I should call it a deal! Most of the second hand items are in great condition! They offer delivery service starting from $ 25+.
Price drops every month if the item is not sold by then.
Will keep an eye here before visiting furniture stores if I need more furnitures or household items!
Oh and everyone there are very friendly and nice!

I was returning an item the other day because it didn’t work on my computer and I heard the woman at the cashier, apparently new, tell her supervisor, right in front of me, «it’s not the first time she returned an item» looking up at my account on her computer — I had a bit of credit etc., (I had to return a computer once) — as though I was abusing the return policy.
Needless to say, I thought it was quite rude of her to talk the way she did about me in front of me. I wonder if she does the same to the other customers, or whether I looked suspicious to her for some reason.
Who has time or energy and take pervert joy out of trying and purposefully hurting their business by driving all the way from the other side of town just to return a $ 7 item, within 7 days of buying it, as it is specified in the return policy, just because? Perhaps she’s willing to pay for the gas and my time and energy wasted.
I have to say about ReUse Center: When their items works, it’s great. What a deal. But if not, it’s a bit of a hassle — and, as you can see, if you don’t fit into a category of certain respectability in the eyes of these people, you are regularly affronted by disrespectful behaviors of the employees or volunteers, who knows (until they come to realize that 1. you write reviews online 2. you are a regular).
Of course these people have no idea that I use their store not only because I’m poor — like everybody else? — but also because I believe in recycling and not wasting and am interested in a better steward of the planet and sometimes I even give my time to pick up litters in my neighborhood. But I guess I just don’t look it for them.
It seems as though some of the people know my face by now, and they deal with me more carefully; but wow, I have to be taking my time like this, just so that I finally receive a semblance of courtesy.
There are some genuinely nice people at the store, but it’s unfortunate that they probably don’t see what I see in the same [r*d*eck] people I’m talking about. They seem pretty appalled about what I do here. Well, all the better. I’m not going to be fuzz up my reality just because some people have starkly different attitudes depending whom they are talking to. I am not going to be muted and I just say this is unacceptable.
A nice person will treat everyone equally nicely, not just their select favorite groups; didn’t you know that?
We have really bad politics in this world.
Sincerely.

This is a great place! It would be pretty awesome and I would go there MUCH more often if they had a place in downtown or Collegetown – I don’t drive and don’t want to shop at the mall so I never make it to the mall (s). It is pretty awesome they keep so much good stuff from being «waste»!
It would be awesome if you could have the Triphammer Mall owners INSTALL BIKE RACKS! (= I would be much more likely to come if there were any at all.

You may need to look carefully and often in order to find something cool, but things are fairly priced and the items are interesting. We’ve come across some nice, antique lighting fixtures.

I love second hand, salvage, and recycling stores, and Finger Lakes ReUse is no exception. From architectural bits to electronics, they have just about everything other than clothes and food. (really, who would want recycled food?)
I went home with some really awesome blacksmithing tools for not a lot of coin and I’m pretty sure that my dad is going back to get a sick deal on a used computer. The prices here are beyond reasonable and the staff is super friendly!
