UPDATE-
I have since stopped shopping at Village Economy Store AKA 2nd Avenue Thrift Store altogether. I have noticed since then how appallingly inflated their prices are compared to other thrift stores. I have been picking up comparable itmes but at less than 1/2 to 1/3 of the price that I would have paid at Village Economy/2nd Ave. More disturbing yet is the information that I have uncovered about this company since.
2nd Avenue claims to be a local company , they are not. Their corporate office is in PENNSYLVANIA. 2nd Avenue claims that their proceeds benefit charity, namely the Military Order of the Purple Heart. AS OF YET I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND NO ASSOCIATION BETWEEN 2ND AVE AND THE MILITARY ORDER OF THE PURPLE HEART. So why is there a MILITARY ORDER OF THE PURPLE HEART truck collecting donations and delivering them to the docking bay of 2nd avenue? NOBODY IN THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ABLE TO OR WILLING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. Furthermore, investigation into THE MILITARY ORDER OF TH

I am a regular shopper at this store.. Recently I was accused of "tampering" with a tag, which is a policy of the store. If they think a "tag" has been tampered with they refuse to sell the item. What they do then, is take the item back and put a higher price on it. The item in question was an Iron Man Fusion Armor action figure, new in a badly beaten up package. It was marked at $1.40, our son picked it out but when we got to the cashier they refused to sell it to us claiming we had TAMPERED with the tag. They accused us of this in front of a store full of people many of whom see us there on a regular basis and some of whom even know us. Simply because a tag was marked lower than they think it should have been , when a huge sign on the wall states that EVERYTHING in the store COULD be marked much lower than it should be. They accused our son and I of shady dealings, when they are in fact dealing shadily by price fixing, and by defaming the character of their customers in public.Shame
We stopped into Mattress Discounters in Rosedale MD on a whim, after comparing some discount priced mattresses online and setting a budget.. We were greeted by Dan who was extremely helpful.. He gave us a great deal on an excellent brand new mattress that would normally have been out of our price range.. On the day we were to pick up our new mattress, I spoke to Craig on the phone just to be sure the mattress had arrived.. He assured me it was in, and by the time I had my truck parked at the store he already had our new mattress on a cart, at the curb ready to load in.. If every business practiced the standard of customer service set by this store, there would never be any reason for any customer to complain.. We will most definitely be back, and I recommend checking this store out if you're buying a new bed.
