SoCal’s Swag

Not open– in fact windows are covered with paper, doors locked, and no sign even indicating there was a store there before. Would have been nice to know they aren’t open or even in business, considering Unilocal says they’re open. Trying to find a antique/​vintage or retro store open late is near impossible and I thought this one would be. Big disappoint considering I could have visited others that are open until 7pm and it’s now 6:36pm. I want to try something new, and they’re closed… very frustrating when you’re an avid shopper and «treasure» hunter like myself.

I was sold a record player package for $ 150 (record player, receiver, and speakers). The man of the store was very friendly and helpful during this process. He said the whole package was tested and works great. When I went home and set it up, it wouldn’t play. I went back to the store and dealt with the woman. I have never been treated so rudely before. She immediately started rolling her eyes and basically said she didn’t believe me. She said the store does not give refunds, and then repeated it with an even more snarky attitude. I continued to politely say that it did not work. She eventually gave me about $ 20 back.
The woman here is the rudest person I have ever experienced at a store. I can’t believe this store is still in business only because of how horrible she treats people. I have read other reviews that said similar things. Maybe she should google «customer service», watch a YouTube video, and try to learn how to act like somewhat of a human being.
Please don’t buy anything there that is an electronic. Don’t take their word that they have tested it and it works great. The odds are good that they are lying.

I came here a while ago with my sister after she had introduced it to me and they were having sales at the time (we are in our teens). We searched through racks of clothes around the store. A lot of the things we had found were great quality and some of the things seemed new or used (bought some shorts with a slightly noticeable stain but they are short shorts so it can be covered). I found a very casual and cute blazer and got it for only about two bucks. Best deal for something that seems brand new and is made out of jean. :)
It’s a small store so the amount of things they can fit in there is limited.
I asked what time they open and they don’t seem to have a set exact time.

I’ve been here twice this week, Sunday and earlier today (Wednesday).
It doesn’t get any better than this place, they have a lot to offer. Clothes, shoes, vintage games, furniture, you name it!
My sister was able to get some clothes and so did my friends. I found a camera I wanted but I was short on cash,

So much stuff crammed into this small space! There are stacks of interesting trinkets and bric-​à-​brac to look at.
What I noticed first was the huge vinyl selection. There are so many albums to go through, so you’ll be bound to find one you like. A particularly nice find was a bunch of Disney Vinyls for just $ 1 each! Included Alice In Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Snow White, just to name a few. Very cool. On a Disney related vein, there was also a collection of those Disney pins behind the counter, just in case you’re into that.
The lady taking care of the shop was very pleasant and offered us to find anything we were looking for, but we were just browsing. I also like how they had decorated the store with Halloween items, especially the creepy baby doll that was hanging from a display of toys! Owners must have a sense of humor.
The clothes section was a bit cramped and hard to look through, but I understand that here, the main focus is more on the stuff and not the clothes. However much I like looking at cool things, I go to thrift stores mainly to score clothes. I know they only have a limited amount of space to work with, though.
Overall, definitely come if you are looking for vinyl records, antiques, or if you’re just curious to see what you can find! If you are primarily on the hunt for clothes like I am, you might leave empty handed. I still liked having a look around, though.

Ultimate thrift store find, they seem to have everything here!

I’m always a fan of local mom & pop shop. I visit this part of Long Beach often and since earlier this year, I saw a sign that said «coming soon.» Today as I strolled by, it was finally open with lots of cool knick knacks in the store. They sell things such as men/women’s clothing to toys to jewelry to almost anything random. Most items had price tags on them and definitely fair prices. At the front cashier area, it looks like they take Visa, Mastercard, and even Discover!
The lady, who I believe is Jen the owner, was very friendly and said that anything that I’m looking for, they may have it.
I saw a really cute Coach coin purse for only $ 16! I almost bought it if I had more time to think about it. The next time I’m in the area again, I will stop by and if that Coach coin purse is still there, then it is meant to be!
