I was in your store and found 3 items that were priced over retail and this makes the fourth time I have experienced this at the Oak Ridge location … so you get donations me inflate the price and make people think that Jesus would over inflate prices to get more money for your charity to allegedly help people. I for one would love to see your P&L sheets and how much of the money you collect by overpriced items sells actually goes to help those you claim to help. I am reminded of when Jesus flipped the tables of the money changers. I think this latest trend of aggressive pricing is running off the people who buy from you because they can’t afford te new price of things. And I think you are making yourselves look greedy to the ones who donate to you. You obviously have some well off people who don’t understand the real life of people who have to thrift shop running your businesses…. SHAME on you for using religion to take advantage of people. Hopefully you will address this issue and the issues of how you are tarnishing your reputation and literally taking advantage of people. Again here’s to hoping that you take a close look at your actions and find a way to actually help people instead of just capitalizing on your charitable status. Prove what you claim and be a light or continue as you are!?!

Recently went to the Karm in Oak Ridge,TN and the prices were OUTRAGEOUS. My family and I were looking for a reasonably priced dresser and weren’t able to find 1 dresser for under $199! Several of their DONATED USED furniture pieces were $300+ and some up to $600+!! Is the profit from donated goods really supposed to be THAT HIGH?!! We found a much prettier, better quality antique dresser on Facebook market and much happier!

Shame on you. Made a donation and went inside to shop. Found 2 little toys, nor vintage, nor electric, nothing special really other than cute. One was priced $12.99 and the other $9.99. I use to love shopping here. Your new pricing is shameful.

Purchased a keyboard for my granddaughter from the Karm in Oak Ridge. When she tried to use it, she found out that it didn't work. We called about exchanging it for another one. We were informed that you get what you buy whether it works or not isn't their responsibility. What a way to get donations by theft!

Extremely over priced. I was looking at some shorts and they cost more there used than a pair I bought brand new from the same brand. Ridiculous. Everything was extremely over priced.

I love KARM stores and everything they stand for. The employees are always very nice and helpful. I especially like how they let you know how much of an impact your purchase made in the local community (your purchase provided X number of meals).

Just like most of the other reviews say, it is WAY overpriced. How can they charge $27 for a wreath made in 1995 that is stained and falling apart? Don't bother going here if ur looking for deals.

Overall I like this KARM. Lots of items. The people who flip items have caused prices to go up on some merchandise. Luggage was high as were some decor items. Did score some nice pants that were petites, which are hard to find.

Great Karm store. Good selection. Prices are lower than the Kingston Pike stores. Highly recommended

Was in total shock today when I seen some of the prices on items . I used to love to come here and shop. They have pretty much turned into a retail junk store. Do these people not realize all this stuff was donated to them? I seen a fake pair of men's Jordans for $150. Over priced and miss sized... They asked me to round up and donate my change. I'm not shopping there anymore. I want to know what the higher ups at this store make a year. I'll shop at real thrift stores from now on

Way way way overpriced, especially for a thrift store. You could buy many of the items there brand new and it would be cheaper. Saw a worn out bra for $16! Saw multiple storage items from the dollar tree marked up 2-4 dollars higher. I’ve personally never seen a Karm charge remotely close to these super inflated prices. I do not mean to be rude at all but whoever does pricing needs to reevaluate.

I was really shocked at how things were priced ABOVE retail. I get it that this is a charity that does really good work. They had a partial set of Pier 1 dishes that cost a full third above what Pier 1 charges for the entire set. Throw pillows for $15? Crazy.

Prices way too high for what they're selling. The majority of the women's clothing brands are old navy, kohl's and lularoe - not designer labels. And yet they're charging up to $20 for these items. It's a rip off. And, if you're like me, and are looking for vintage and unique pieces, you absolutely won't find them here. Try the Goodwill in Clinton or literally any other thrift store.

I have tried this store from time to time & it still comes across as snobby. I'm not well dressed when I go in but I'm not trashy. I love the nicer clothing but the snootyness of the floor employees keep me from being a regular. The store in Powell, on W Emory Rd is awesome!
