William Temple House Thrift Store 2230 Northwest Glisan Street, Portland, OR 97210

"A really well organized thrift-store with an awesome selection."

"The, let me elaborate, THE BEST HANDS DOWN THRIFT STORE. Geat prices, great organization, even friendliest staff of any thrift store I've ever visited. Thank you for the food box as well"

"I really like this place. Their staff is always friendly and working hard. The store is always clean when I stop by. They also have a shopper’s points program & if you’re a regular shopper, it’s totally worth it! Their items are often retail priced & not thrift store priced. As always, definitely do your “homework” on pricing your thrift items & make sure you’re not paying antique or retail store prices. There are several items in their “antique/vintage” case that are exceptionally overpriced; whomever is researching prices needs to keep UTD on how to properly appraise objects. Not all antiques are worth more $$ because they’re old. They currently have a vintage mesh purse. It’s a common purse, not tied to any manufacturer, & needs restoration - these purses are all over online pricing $9.00-35.00 or so, NOT the “over $200” the store associate tried to tell me. The antique salt & pepper shakers are cool items, but the salt shaker is damaged - the exact set in excellent condition can be found online for $40 (so the current price of the damaged shakers is laughable). They have a Pirates of the Caribbean script in terrible condition for its price & it’s not even in any type of protective covering. So sure, you can definitely find some fantastic used items here, but they are often overpriced for their condition. I’ve found some things priced moderately (not thrift priced) that I personally collect and/or use, so it’s up to each person to decide whether an item is worth what they want to pay. Buyer beware and all that. Too many thrift stores try to price things higher than they should because sometimes people find that “needle in the haystack” of exceptionally rare and/or valuable items."

"I love this thrift store! One of the best things about living nearby is peeking in every few days to see what they’ve gotten in - got all my plates, glasses, and too many clothes there!"

"Fun thrift store, but geez, this place charges so much for donated items. I thought it was strange they'd charge $250 for a china set just sitting on an open aisle end instead of put in a case."
