Marklund Resale Shop

this was a great place to shop until they remodeled, now its overpriced, and some of the cashier behind the counter (yes the old lady) has to be the meanest of them all. I have seen customer walk out because of her. I know and see the sign, but how do you expect someone to walk in see a couch or a table and they are only one person, if they say do you have anyone here that can help she will say NO, omg there are like 10 guys in the back, if you say can I come right back with someone, NO, you have to take it right now. HOW? do you expect them to pick a couch up by themselves. going into a second hand store you general impulse buy, so NO you don’t have some one with. customer have just walked out. she could be a little more friendly, give them a hour or see if there is help, charge them $ 5 but my god the way she talks to them keep your stuff if it means that much to you. When the guy was there, I know he moved out of state he as the nicest guy, always there to help, he would go get the guys everything was priced perfect I loved shopping there. now, its my last stop.

This place is great. I was able to find what I needed to make a portable kitchen ulitiity cart. Saul was great help. Whatever I was looking for he helped me find.

This store is clean and well organized. Some things might be higher in price than other second hand stores but I figure it’s goes to charity so I don’t mind.

Once again here is a RESALE shop that is severely overpriced. I just left the store and saw some tulle on a bolt and it was marked $ 20.00…can get it anywhere for $ 15.00. I also saw take advantage of a poor old man for a old used leather coat that was supposed to be marked down 50% and charged him $ 100.00 and the coat was target brand! This place is appalling. I can go anywhere and pay cheaper for the product the have on their shelves. What has this place come too? Anything for a buck, i get it but to take advantage of people is horrible! I will never shop there again and I will make sure everyone knows what kind of place this is. $ 8.00 for a basket Big Lots next door had a better one for $ 4.00. Unbelievable

The store has recently changed and is less of a thrift/​second hand store and more stuff donated from bigger stores. I don’t think it’s as good as it used to be and now they charge way WAY too much for items that you can get at other thrift stores. It’s pretty much pointless to go here unless you’re looking for furniture and you live really close by. Even then I’d suggest somewhere else.

I have always made out well shopping here. Finding treasures in both clothing and housewares. A prior review was on target when noting that their house wares department is pretty amazing vs clothing. That being said I recently purchased two beautiful dresses: a beautiful silk Halston sheath knee length dress and a nice Dana Buchman dress and a great gap skirt all for under $ 25. It’s close to my home so it’s an easy place to start when I’m in the mood to thrift shop or need a new household décor item. Also there lots of parking, and a grocery store and big lots next door. I like to donate items there as well when I have nice quality stuff to unload to help the store and add to the bounty for others like me who shop there; all and all great only negative is skimpy shoe department but even so, I like the challenge of finding something among nothing! Happy shopping!

What a great treasure trove! Lots of great items and very well-​merchandised! They are replacing the carpet and will definitely be back to see the renovated store and more shopping! Repurpose, everyone — stop buying new stuff and buy used!

I’ve been checking out the local resale shops and Marklund popped up as somewhere I might be interested in visiting. I stopped in today over my lunch break and met a very nice lady. She was rearranging the jewelry cases and helped me by bringing out the pieces that I wanted to see.
Today was some sort of promotion where you pick a rubber duck when you are checking out to get a certain percentage off your total purchase. I saw someone get 30% off so he was pleased.
The housewares room was loaded with stuff, but I don’t like that they wrote the prices right on the items with a black marker.
They had stacks of vinyl records. No rhyme or reason, but it may be worth a look-​see if you collect that sort of thing. I think I also noticed some 8-​tracks too. ;-)
The furniture is kinda all over the place price wise. And I had a hard time finding the price on everything.
Overall, they have a ton of stuff to sift through if you have the time.

Went back again… I really needed a bunch more plates and could not beat the 50 cent price. I was just going to go in and get out.
I brought my 30 dinner plates, 25ish dessert plates, and 20 mugs up to the counter, paid, and said I would wrap it all up since I brought my own boxes. The ladies gave me a pile of newspaper and I spent about 20 minutes wrapping my items and boxing them… when I was done my hands were totally covered in black ink… I could not touch anything!
I asked the ladies if I would wash wash my hands and they looked at eachother and said that I could not use their bathroom. I said that I just needed to wash my hands and showed them how bad they were and they offered me hand sanitizer! I was fuming and just walked away, found the manager who was working in the Christmas section and asked him and he let me because I obviously NEEDED to wash my hands.
Grrrrrr…

Love this place! It’s like a treasure hunt. Best of all – the prices are cheap! They often have 50−70% off the entire store. So much fun to shop here because the prices are so low & you can have fun reupholstering, painting, & changing the items. Other people have mentioned that the store is a little chaotic/​cluttered & that’s true, but that’s completely fine with me. It’s a resale store – not Macy’s! There is supposed to be some element of digging & treasure hunting to the experience. I’ve found some very fun items here & love the way they turned out after I rehabbed them.

My husband and I have this theory that you could walk in here, drop something off any old place, walk out and they would never notice.
I love me some thrift stores, but this one is serious chaos.
Oh, sure, things are vaguely organized into sections — electronics at the front, clothes in the middle, furniture off to the side and a crapton of used books, VHS tapes, DVDs and more scattered about…
But seriously, I don’t know how anyone finds anything useful here.
And about those electronics — do you need an old-​school tube TV with rabbit ears? Joysticks that haven’t been used since the 80s? Dot matrix printers? Cassette playing boomboxes? This is the place obsolete electronics components come to die.
Oh, and last time we were there, there was a portrait of David Bowie. No kidding. If you hurry, it might still be there.
If you have a lot of patience and a sense of adventure, you could probably find some great stuff here, but I have to admit, I just don’t have the fortitude most days to try to sort through it all.

Stopped in today, my thrifty senses were tingling! I found just what I was looking for, 2 vintage travel alarm clocks (I couldn’t make up my mind so I bought them both) and to my surprise they were cleaning house! holy thrift value Batman I think they read Unilocal!and with the whole store 50% off sale I spent less than 15 bucks even with some auto repair manuals.
Housewares, furniture, clothes, electronics, books, Lp’s, tapes and VHS movies, ??? you never know what else!

They have a small selection of clothes compared to other resale places BUT… they have a great electronic /​furniture /​housewares /​books selection!!!
I love shopping here. Its different all the time!
