Scout: Dry Goods & Trade

Scout has an adorable aesthetic and plays great music. I used to be a Scout lover and had so much fun shopping there, however the store is not the same as it used to be.
The prices have raised significantly and the merch is not the best. The scout employees are also not friendly, which is discouraging.
I was especially disappointed when I went to their $ 1 sale. Of course, I cannot expect to buy amazing clothing for $ 1, but I did not expect to look through a pile of ripped, stained, smelly clothing. It looks like the clothes came from a donation bin :/

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. Scout is a dream for anyone buying or selling well-​curated, fun, unique vintage/​used clothes and shoes. Sydney is the employee I keep running into as my Mom has been sifting through her bursting closets, and she is lovely, friendly, and funny. If this store was in my ‘hood in my city, I’d be here every other day either selling all my coolest clothes or buying up someone else’s, haha!
They pay very well for a reseller. Super fair prices and they’ll even direct you to other buyers if your stuff doesn’t work with their vibe. Anyone who has dealt with Beacon’s Closet or Buffalo Exchange will be able to appreciate the magic that is getting a fair deal for your clothes AND NICE EMPLOYEES.
PLUS they stock a really fun selection of locally made pins, jewelry, accessories, etc. This is straight up what Urban Outfitters would be in an alternate universe where everything is unique and reasonably priced.
And such friendly staff! OMG this place is awesome.

The store sells (and buys) used clothes, so I brought in about $ 500 worth of stuff that’s been sitting in my closet… thinking I would walk away with a $ 20 bill at minimum. They told me that they can’t give me any money because of condition.
What?
All of the items were well taken care of, without any condition problems and a hell of a lot better quality than what they have on their racks. Then she told me I could donate it to them. What a bunch of crooks.

Another day of great thrift finds at Scout. I love shopping the weekly sales, clearance, and $ 1 days!

LOVE. Its random that I know about this place, but it was recommended to me several years ago and I just recently revisited last weekend.
While their men’s section is pretty small, they have a great selection of women’s and women’s vintage. Their prices are higher than a Goodwill or Salvation Army, but their brands are nicer and everything is in good shape. They also had a lot of great shoes and a sale rack. AND if you check in on Unilocal there’s currently a coupon!
I don’t drive through Omaha a lot, but this is definitely on my hit list!

I used to love Scout when I was in high school because it was actually a cool store with cute clothes, but in the last 5 years they have tanked. I kept trying to give them second chance after second chance, but to no avail –they suck. I have brought in very gently used clothes with tags on/​the name brands they ask for, but they don’t buy anything which is so extremely frustrating because when I look at their racks, it just looks like clothes I could find at a thrift store for 3x the price or clothes from a 2003 Sears catalogue (like a fugly furry black leopard print sweater, wtf??). But you know what is even worse? Their employees and customer service — or lack thereof. Talk about a bunch of the most unfriendly retail workers I have ever met. I swear I’ve had better service at Walmart than here. I am doneeee with Scout.

Found this little gem on Instagram. They were friendly and the store had loads of cute clothes for decent prices. I bought a really great midi length dress for an upcoming wedding and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! I like that they work with local artist.

I would give this place one star if I could but I do enjoy a lot of the people that work here. On the other hand, I had a horrible experience in which a «friend» of mine stole a dress and a ton of jewelry from me. I called Scout before I headed down there after realizing that my things were gone, and knowing my friend sells to this consignment store often, and to let them know which dress it was, the size, the color and brand. After they told me they had it I went down there and retrieved my dress and then found my jewelry. The owner happened to be there, and there couldn’t have been more evidence that the things I was bringing to the counter were in fact mine, even after showing her a picture of me in the dress. The owner was there and I asked her if I could at least buy my things back for what she bought them for. She promptly said «no I won’t, because as a business owner I refuse to do so but I apologize for your situation.» I reluctantly spent the $ 65 worth of belongings that were stolen from me and left. This place claims to be a small town business, but it acts much like a money grabbing corporate retail store. I would have sold and bought clothes from here and would have been a loyal customer seeing that I live down the street from the business, but at this point I realize that they only care about money and not the customers. Most of the earrings I bought back from myself were from forever 21 that I bought for $ 5 and she sold them for $ 12. I would go somewhere else to buy and sell your clothes if I were you.

This store is mostly for the college aged hipsters. You can definitely find cute stuff in here. Lots to choose from!

I wouldn’t call this place a vintage store. It was a good store and had some cool things in it, but to say it sells vintage clothing is far-​fetched! I will definitely be back to look for some cheap clothing. PS these clothes are used.

To the über-​hipsters working at Scout, I am ancient at the age of 31. Whatever.
The last time I visited Scout I brought in some consignment. They rejected a bunch of my items because, for example, one dress had a fallen hem. But yet when I went to try on some shorts, they’d overlooked the fact that the crotch of one of the pairs was stained with period blood. Gross. To the employees’ credit, at least they threw those shorts away after I pointed the blood stain out.
I agree with previous reviewers who thought that Scout’s employees were too cool for school. They’ll get over themselves eventually. I find them sort of amusing. Also amusing: the twee Moonrise Kingdom-​inspired artwork Scout sells. (Sorry, Wes Anderson fans.)
Maybe if Scout’s prices were better than Target’s or Marshall’s, I wouldn’t be so hard on them. But they’re not. Not much here for anyone who’s aged out of the high school or college-​aged hipster demographic.

As with all things that are located in Dundee – Scout is a very unique place to go to browse for clothes, accessories, and knick knack items. I first started to go there years ago when they first opened, but haven’t been there in years because I moved away. Now that I am back I am happy to report that Scout is better than ever!
Today’s visit was mostly to get rid of a few brand new things which I was well compensated for– but I know I’ll be back in the future just to do some shopping for myself or my second half. I didn’t even manage to walk away empty-​handed today though… I still bought a tie!

Love this place! I was directed here by Platos Closet, as a spot where I could potentially sell my more vintage inspired clothes. They did take a few of my items, but it may have been a bad idea to go there as I purchased way more than I sold! They had such cute things; a long rack of dresses, shelves of shoes… heaven.
I will have to return on an infamous dollar Sunday!
The staff was helpful, accommodating, and patient as I added to my sale at the front counter like a kid in a candy store!
Looking forward to shopping there more. A great find.

I like Scout. The few times I have been in Scout the service has been amazing. The sales people talk to me and my friends and offer advice if we want it. The only thing i kind of don’t like about Scout are some of the prices. If you are looking for a thrifty 5 dollar store Scout is not one. There are some really neat items for pretty cheap but for something really cute it can be 30 – 50 dollars. I also love the Sunday 1 dollar sale. You can usually find at least one item that fits your style no matter what. If you are a out of the box fashionista I highly suggest Scout

I love seeing what they have and finding unique articles of clothing. I love the jewelry selection and random cards in there. I think my favorite thing about scout is their selection of dresses to choose from. Staff could be nicer to their customers. Don’t care to to go in there anymore because of that.

I adore Scout and can always rely on finding something fun, as well as staple clothing necessities with great brands at a fraction of the original price! :)

Love the concept, but friendlier employees would really help. I love the idea of reselling my never worn or gently used clothing. I also love the idea of buying someone’s gently used, still stylish cast offs for a lower price.
What I don’t love: being silently stared at while I shop. It’s like being watched by a sulky cat.
I’ve almost never felt as awkward in a store as the few times I’ve been in Scout. I’ve sold there twice and shopped there several times. The only time I didn’t feel unwelcome was once when they were super busy. Every other time there has been awkward silence from the employees and no offer of service until I asked for a fitting room or to be rung up.
I’m sure I’ll be back. Maybe next time I’ll remember to put some catnip in my purse first!

Such an amazing place!

Scout is a fantastic vintage/​used clothing store that also supports local designers and artists. The inventory is constantly changing and at times their Dundee spot is packed to the brim with all kinds of gear.
As a guy, I appreciate their decent selection of dress shirts, t-​shirts and pants. And Scout has allowed me to score plenty of the aforementioned items — minus spending the time having to sift through dozens of racks of icky clothes at multiple local thrift stores. Still, as a guy, pretty much any clothing store out there will stock way less men’s clothing then women’s. This is simply due to supply and demand and I’ll have to live with that.
Scout rules. Go there on Sundays for their $ 1 sale. You’ll probably find something awesome for like $ 1. Otherwise you’ll find something more awesome for like $ 8. Can’t beat that.

Maybe living in Nebraska won’t be so bad when there’s a spiffy vintage store called Scout located next to my sister’s favorite pizza place, Pitch.
My fam and I were a bit early for dinner last night so we walked on in to Scout. As soon as I took the beauty of vintage all in I was hooked. I made several mental notes to come back and actually purchase something.
They have bunches of vintage dresses, purses, clutches, shirts, shoes, jewelry, jeans, almost everything you can think of! The lady that was working at the time was super cool too, for my niece was pretty enthusiastic about everything. The lady was patient and seemed to be easy going, it’s pretty easy to get caught up in my niece, she’s a clever cutie.
I loved their array of shoes along one wall and a great display of leather cuffs in a vintage suitcase. I particularly liked the vintage decorations and the prices were reasonable for the items as well.
I’ll be looking forward to shopping at this store as soon as I have the money to do so! Shopping then Pizza, that’s Unilocal for you!
