Thrift Stores near Cottonwood, ID

“If you haven't been to Mager Bargains, you need to stop in at least once just for the experience. Three separate locations all within one block - the place is massive. Most of what is sold are appliances, with the focus on washers & dryers. I am not exaggerating when I say there must be at least 1,000 washers/dryers there. Upstairs, downstairs, in the alleys and along the street. Quite impressive!

Prices are good and the selection is mind-blowing for refurbished appliances. He has other things as well - tires, antiques, bed frames, all sorts of stuff, but not in large quantities like the appliances.

He does repair work for reasonable costs as well, which is appreciated. He warranties his appliances for 90 days, but makes you buy a surge-protector for like $15. No biggie. Very knowledgeable as well, and will give you lots of tips and tricks to keep your purchase up and running well. Be aware if you bring something in for repair, he will tell you if you're not operating it correctly. Too much dog hair? Washing large & bulky items in your washer? He is absolutely going to point that out and tell you in no uncertain terms to desist. If you're thin-skinned and that is going to bother you, maybe send someone else in with the appliance to deal with the process.

I've bought a freezer, two dryers, and washer from Mager over the years. Good items and have had very few problems. I would highly recommend. The only reason I dock a star is because of staffing issues. Oftentimes you can't find anyone there - at any of the three locations. You wander around the narrow aisles of the massive appliance labyrinth hoping Michael Myers isn't going to suddenly appear in front of you. (It would actually be a great set location for a horror film). And when you do finally find someone, they often will need John himself to show up to actually finalize the transaction. If he's not there, you have to wait until he's available. Thus it's always good to call ahead of time and give a heads up that you are coming at a certain time and are interested in purchasing a (blank) so he's nearby and ready.

Excellent place though and I for sure will be going back next time I need a repair done or a used appliance. Thanks, John!”
