Thrift Stores in Oneonta, NY

“It's a consigners dream. The best attribute of Cornucopia is that as a consigner they accept most anything. I'm so used to Silks and Treasures long list of items and brands they don't consign as they only have so much room because everyone consigns there that they want only things that can bring a larger sale which makes sense but so many gently used or barely worn items I couldn't bring went to Cornucopia and always sells. I've gained some nice returns at Silks but more than trippled that at Cornucopia in half the time. My consignment experience with Shakedown Street was awful. I never saw even one item I consigned on the floor and things like brand new bags and shoes which would have sold in a couple days, a week at most at Silks and Treasures were never bought at Shakedown. I consigned hundreds of dollars worth of clothing, bags and shoes and got one payout for 12 bucks and another for 22 bucks. That's it. Pretty sure they made a killing selling my stuff online, at least that's what I heard. Cornucopia actually let's you have your items back too if they don't sell which is the major draw for consigning there. And the store looks nice for the most part. My only complaint is the new clothes they have are too expensive so naturally people buy the used stuff. I've bought many nice dresses and jeans there this past year and they don't take out anything so I find myself looking for tank tops by pushing past the turtleneck sweaters but it's worth it. No fuss no worries no list to remember and I either pick up my cash or pick up my stuff if it ends up not selling so I never loose or feel cheated.”

“The Oneonta Salvation Army Thrift Store is an interesting grouping of diverse items. Like most thrift stores the prices have increased due to inflation and increased competition from other thrift shops. I must stress one important point. In disasters the Salvation Area offers those affected clothing and even furniture. The problem with the Oneonta Salvation Army Thrift Store is the lack of parking, usually vehicles of neighboring businesses. If you can't park you can't buy.”

“The Salvation Army has a nice food pantry open during the week, that also has a small pet food pantry. Their regular food distribution office is open a few times a week, and also has healthy foods, and a variety of fresh fruit. Friendly staff.”
