Well, ever wonder where all the returns from Amazon or other retailers end up? It's here! It's straightforward when you go there. Prices range from $1 on Tuesdays to $9 on Saturdays and $3 and $6. It's basically a search for whatever you want or need. They also run deals like winter coats at the end of the season and are half off. The variety is always changing, so if you see it, it may not be there if you don't get it. Everything is as is.

This place is pretty much the best… always the best prices on GOOD items. Yes you will occasionally have something in the bins at retail price or higher… that just means you’ve gotta come back on a lower price day.I have gotten expensive small appliances, comforters, electronics at like 10-20% of the retail price. Always new.The store is also run by friendly folks. GREAT STORE!

I only blame myself some for hyping up to myself about coming here. Because they'd only be closed on the days I have off from work, so it was only this passing week did I finally check it out. I was hoping this was going to be a store that functioned similarly to Goodwill Buy the Pound and business here would be booming.Unfortunately, that's not what I came in and saw. The prices did sound fair, but they only applied to what was in the bin. I never got anything from here to really figure it out. All I gathered from my 10-ish minutes browsing there was that if Dollar Tree and Five Below were the discount stores of Wal-Mart and Target. Then Looney Bin was the discount store of Goodwill.And I say that because the items available, were mostly full of knick knacks nobody would've wanted. General things people could get anywhere else for cheaper, some emoticon tat and other things. They do receive donations and I gathered that they individually price what they get donated and that's when I saw another flaw.The prices they individually give to items are definitely not what you'd expect. High prices for electronics and furniture...what else is new.Oh and I have to mention that they got a little cocky on brand naming. Yeah they advertise how they have in their bins, brands that are cheap enough for the kind of brands that they are. Too bad the brands they list are things almost nobody would recognize while the brands they would recognize, would be the ones marked up. Go figure...

Items here need to be priced for value. Came on a Saturday and nothing worth $9. No name brand items. I didn’t see anything I’d have paid $3 for. Would not stop again.

This place is outrageous. Bins were $6 but majority of the stuff you can but everywhere else for a fraction of the price. Crayola markers, a composition notebook, pencil box and a single luffa for $6 each 😳 no thank you but now I know what it’s like there and maybe on a Saturday I might check it out to see if it’s worth it.

It’s a treasure hunt! First day everything in the bins are $9, the prices go down on subsequent days. I love to go on $9 day and $3 day(Monday)! I run into a lot of things I just spend full retail on at Target. Always new things to find, clean, fun atmosphere.

Most of the clothes are so scattered that you can’t find both pieces. Some interesting finds, but most stuff is overpriced and it’s all cluttered and stuff is so tangled up you can’t get it without untangling. The same stuff that’s been out has been there for 2-3 weeks. I’ve found some kids shoes and those were a great find. Other than that, kind of disappointing. Definitely think stuff should be more organized and easier to get to. Shoppers enjoy a clean and easy place to find items.

This place has REALLY good deals! If something has a lower price on it they will honor the price. So if something had $1 on it on a $9 day they would price match it. All items in the picture are only a fraction of things that I've gotten for only $1. These purses alone are worth $65. Everything in the bins are;Saturday's-$9Sunday's-$6Monday's-$3Tuesday's-$1

Always great deals, clean store, manager/owner couldn’t be nicer. Always works with me and gets me the price I want on items in the vault. Highly recommend

Meh. We went and checked it out. Wasn't really what I was expecting. It was almost like a goodwill. I wasn't 100% sure on how the bins were priced, because I didn't see how some of the items were worth $6 individually. No, I didn't try to purchase them or ask,as there wasn't anything really worth it on that side. I could see how the crates or pallets would be worth it, but we were there for little random things, not to spend $800 on a random crate. Probably wouldn't take the time to stop again.

Decent items usually. Over priced more often than not. Not my first choice of liquidation stores but stopping by every few weeks is fine.

David was helpful with item questions and holding our large items until we could come back with a truck to load it. Will definitely be back for the great deals and great service!

Was not impressed. Found a few things then to be told they are $9. I can get them anywhere else for less than half the price. One employee was busy gathering things to put behind the counter.

Had some time decided to try it out. It was very underwhelming. We went on a Monday so it was $3 and they just did not have the greatest selection. I've been to many bin stores this one was just not it.

It's a lot of fun to see what you will find. Of course some things are not worth the price but fun anyway.

Great deals and customer service! Best to come on Saturday before all the best items get bought.

First time here on Tuesday. I would recommend visiting on Saturday when the bins are restocked.

Not worth it personally. Opened, broken items litter the bins on their supposed restock day.
