RGR Family Thrift Store

Fine clothing...

Amazing shop ! An amazing staff and there are golden gems hidden within this store. Got myself a pair of designer shoes imported from Italy and a beautiful trench coat from Zara. Super friendly staff. Love it.

This place is insane — best kept secret. You gotta dig through some stuff but you totally find great items. Great brands, mint condition. I found boots in a brand I had never heard of and was surprised when I paid $ 40 bucks but when I got home and googled the label I was shocked to see that it was an expensive brand. Roberto Cavalli, Issey Miyake. Betsy Johnson, Three Dot, Ella Moss, Vince Sneakers — seriously — who would give that away??? Where do they get this stuff from. I dont care whre is comes from. I am definitely going back

I remember when RGR first started, and it was cheap and interesting. Now the owner has found «hipsters» and jacked up his prices 400 to 500 percent. First of all, he quotes prices according to race, which I find incredible. It’s one price for an African, another for a Latino, and of course, you had better believe it, anyone who is white gets the high mark up. Plus he’s stuffing the money in drawers and I suspect New York City sees about 1 percent of it, if that much. The guy is running a cash only clearing house for who knows what ends.
If you want to reward greed and cheating, then shop here. He has retired people with good taste sorting through the stuff that comes in, he wouldn’t know a Fubu from a Fendi. It’s only new transplants to Bushwick who are silly enough to pay what he asks — oh and it changes quite often. I saw a fake fur vest one week and he quoted $ 25. A few days later, it was $ 40. He doesn’t price down, he prices up.
There are much better, and much cheaper second hand stores all up and down Broadway run by much more honest, less discriminating, and better businesspeople for the community than this one. Why reward flagrant dishonest and rip-​off business practices that do nothing for the community, you the consumer, or anyone else except his bulging wallet?

I’ve been to a lot of different thrift shops but this one by far was the least interesting. There aren’t any prices on the items, nobody comes by to answer your questions and you wouldn’t want to go to the fitting room on your own… that’s if you can even call that a fitting room. On the only plus side I found a skirt that I liked and fits nicely.

Yup. This place is flat out amazing. I will be making many a trip back here. I read the previous two reviews and I thought there is no way it is that good– well there is. Brand names everywhere! It is true that there are children’s and mens clothes as well but not as much as ladies. The shoes and handbags are scattered, there is bedding as well but its all just in huge bins in the back– the clothes are where its at! Most of the dresses I found were $ 7 each and the man at the counter threw one of the shirts in for free because it had a small hole in it. The only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it could be a little clearer how much things cost and a bit cleaner feeling inside– the rows are not fully defined and sections are outlined by computer paper pasted to the wall with handwritten sharpie notices.

*deep exhale* SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST. This is thrift store gold, people. I honestly don’t know how to explain my genuine bliss upon entering this thrift store. Unassuming from the outside, it’s filled with quality designer gems and seriously awesome stuff. Prada, Armani, Versace, Burberry and then Club Monaco, Banana Republic and Ralph Lauren. I don’t think the family that owns this place knows exactly what’s on their hands.
I managed to get a silk/​cashmere Banana Republic sweater for $ 7, a vintage cashmere sweater for $ 7, and a Club Monaco sweater for $ 7. And then he gave me a discount, randomly!
Fur coats, tweed jackets and blazers, dresses and skirts, winter coats and jeans. Men’s and women’s stuff, all just top notch. There were a lot of imported goods, from Paris etc. They also have shoes but I didn’t see much that I wanted. The prices are on the wall but disregard because the guy at the counter determines how much he wants to sell it for — usually at a good price. It’s cash only, so come ready.
