Special Treasures 214 North Center Street, Statesville, NC 28677

"Not for resellers. They pretty much have eBay prices on their items. But good deals if you're shopping for yourself although you have to be pretty selective if you're on a budget because with their prices your bill will add up fast!"

"There is a sign in the store in the kids clothing section that states 0-24 month clothes are $1.50, and onesies and leggings/pants are $0.50 but all other kids clothes are $3.00. Those are decent deals for used clothing in good shape. I picked out five items for my infant (12 months), one being a pair of pants, all under 24 month sizing. Went to check out and my total was over $16. I was a little taken aback so questioned the cashier and she said all kids clothes were $3.00 each. I was also in the middle of a conversation with a friend that was with me, so I assumed I misunderstood, paid and we walked out. But after mulling it over with her for a minute, we decided to go back in and check the sign. I was correct, and an employee/volunteer was there working in that area. I explained to her what happened and she said that they could refund the money or I could pick a few more items to make up the difference. I asked which would be simplest, not trying to make extra work for anyone. And she said that they don’t typically give refunds, that picking out a few more items would be easiest, or that I could consider that the proceeds are going to a good cause and just let it go. There wasn’t anything else I wanted, I had already looked through the clothing in the size that I needed for my daughter. So, I just told her I wouldn’t worry about it and left. I get it; I do realize that it goes to a good cause. But I also donate loads of new and gently used items to this store ALL of the time. Literally don’t take anything anywhere else except for pregnancy resource center because I would rather support them both than take things to Goodwill, especially my 3 kids gently used nice clothes that I typically buy new! I just think it was very rude of this employee/volunteer to say what she did basically guilt-tripping me for mentioning the mistake and irritating that the cashier argued with me regarding the pricing when it’s clearly stated on a sign in the store. It’s not about the money but the principal. But also, if I want to spend $3 on used kids clothing that’s likely not in perfect shape, I might as well go to a store and buy them new on the clearance rack. And in the future, I probably will continue to do so."

"This store has a large selection of furniture in good condition. They also have a large clothing section including a whole section for Men, so many thrift shops don’t have much for a men’s section! Prices are very reasonable and the selection is worth checking out."

"I have found some great items in the past, but like Goodwill they've become too costly. I can buy off sale racks new than I can here used. It's such a shame, they could be helping the community more."

"Me and my girlfriend at the time were in this place while she looked for a cocktail dress for her sisters wedding I had to go in and out of the store a couple of times because there were several things that I had to do while my girlfriend looked in the store so needless to say I went in and out a couple times. This lady comes out that works at the store, accusing me of stealing stuff because I’ve gone in and out of the store a couple times so enter this store at your own risk. These people are clearly not as smart as you are I and you will get accused of stealing stuff, so beware shop at your own risk."
