Incredible selection of high end gently used clothing and housewares including art and small furniture. Constant turnover means you may see an item like a set of plates or a button down shirt and it is gone (bought) and replaced in one hour visit. Come two days later and they will have all new stuff. Incredible low prices and $$$ go to charity., My advice: don't buy anything at Home Goods for your home or condo without checking the Bargain Basket first.

My friend who I drag thrifting declared this "the best thrift shop I've ever been to" this morning. Very clean, well organized, nice volunteers (had 3 cashiers; all working), bargain racks w $3 finds. No wonder people were lined up to enter @ 10:00 am! Boutique section; higher end &/or NWT. Then there's the rest of their clean, organized clothing. My British friend scored a wonderful $3 bathing suit that she can't wait to show off @ her condo pool. I found great condition, solid black Larry Levine pants that fit me perfectly for an incredibly low $3! Never hurts to have an extra pair of black in your closet! Very reasonably priced dishes and kitchenware; bet lots were hostess gifts (room to left of entrance) as high quality & lots looked new. Electronics, linens, etc in rear room; you should check it out; men shopping! Jewelry was 50% off for Valentines Day so I got (looked new w original packaging) earrings with matching necklace for $2.50 ! My skeptic friend found sheets for her sofa bed & said we can go back on r next trip to Marco! There's children & Men's section which I didn't check out. DO go around every corner as never know what you will find! Men's and Women's Shoes, purses, jewelry and accessories to the right of the entrance so don't miss it. GREAT BARGAIN FIND on MARCO ISLAND; hope u don't miss it!

An awesome thrift store both as a customer and a donor. As a customer my experience is they offer a wide variety of quality items at a great price. As a donor, my donation experience is always one of quickness, efficiency, and friendliness.

My wife and family love thrift shopping and we stumbled upon this gem. Everyone is very friendly and you can find everything in here from a polo shirt to glassware to tennis rackets. Great deals on everything. There is limited parking in front but more in the back. Worth a visit.

After reading other Yelp reviews, I decided to pop in and check out the Bargain Basket on a rainy afternoon. There are only about 10 parking spots at the entrance of the store (& that includes one or two spots reserved for handicap parking). I recommend parking across the street and walking over as it is not a busy street and a short walk. I was greeted when I entered the store, and there were a good amount of shoppers already in the store. While it's no fault of the staff there, there was one shopper who talked loudly on her cell phone the entire time she was in the store which I found quite annoying. That's an annoyance anywhere you go. To the right of the entrance are jewelry cases and earring stands, purses, totes, luggage, belts, shoes, and accessories. As you enter the store women's clothing is organized on racks by size and type of clothing pieces near the front. Clothing is fairly limited in general. Men's and children's clothing is in a separate section farther back on the right, and there is an adjoining room where they have household electronics, craft items, children's toys/books, and misc items. In a room located to the left of the entrance you will find an abundance of dishes, dish sets, glasses, tea sets, decor items, framed art, kitchenware, bakeware, and similar items. Prices are a little high on the clothing given the quality and brands of clothing. Much of it was priced just a tad under retail prices, and I could likely find similar items brand new in the stores when on sale for the same price or less. Other items in the store seemed reasonably priced, but there were some accessories/purses/shoes I would not have even put out for purchase due to condition. The staff were all extremely friendly and aside from Miss Chatty on her phone, it was an enjoyable shopping experience. A cute and quaint thrift store with a few good finds for bargain hunters.

Always a wonderful experience. Geared to all ages. High end designer Lilly Pulitzer, mid range CHICO's and mall brands GAP etc. Excellent selection of well-maintained clothing. Nice display of household decor and dishware. Bit limited in cooking and small appliances. But hit or miss there will always be some treasure to bring home. SUR LA TABLE serving bowls were a grand find for me. LULULEMON active wear another. Park around back always ample parking there avoid parking infront.

Who goes thrifting on vacation? I do! The Bargain Basket is a must stop for me on every trip to Marco Island. Great prices, lots of unique items in a well organized store. My only complaint would be the limited parking, but I think that is more of a town issue, not the store.

This is one of the most fun volunteer jobs I have ever had! If you have 3 hours to spare I highly recommend it. You will be well trained and welcome, plus all of the proceeds go to charitable causes. They’re open Monday through Saturday.

One of my favorites stops on Marco Island, I’ve found so many treasures and cool items here at amazing prices. The secrets out - so get there early and make multiples trips in to find the best deals. Often run flash and daily specials, they have a Facebook page for additional details and hours.

These ladies are great. Hooked me up with a wheel chair that my daughter could take home on the plane after emergency leg surgery. I gave them a nice donation. *****

Good Thrift store. Could live without the better than from some of the cashiers. Pretty sure everyone in Marco whether living or visiting. Are doing fine. Some of us prefer thrifting. Seen more than I needed regarding crabby volunteers. Suggestion. Please do not volunteer if your crabby! Stay home.
