Encore Resale Store

Probably the worst case of egotistical price gouging I've seen for a thrift store so far. I've been going here for years and occasionally come back. I was here in May and the prices were fair and I don't know if it's due to increased tourism or because of the harvest fest/apple fest but the prices were outrageous when I returned in late September. For example, a raggedy Columbia jacket from the early 2000s which I would in no way describe in a cutesy vintage manner which would normally go for $10 AT MOST at a goodwill or a savers was $46. There were a few other jackets priced around $30 from a similar time range. In comparison, if I were to go to a Duluth thrift store, a brand new donated jacket would at most be $15. Duluth is no stranger for increasing prices either so I think it's a fair comparison. However, this business is pricing like they're plato's closet. This is quite disappointing as I grew up in Bayfield and quite enjoyed going here and supporting a local business, but this is something I cannot support anymore.Edit: Yes, I did know that this was a place that supported the local area in terms of food shelf and elderly. I had lived here in Bayfield for 20 years before moving and occasionally visit so I'm pretty knowledgeable of the area and the work that is done. And I gladly supported this business because of that.

Just got a great dress and a pair of really nice leather boots! The store is clean and organized. Nice selection of goods.

Anticipated that this was more of a resale store considering it's in the name. It's a thrift store with high prices. Items are donated and that's how they get their inventory. Nobody acknowledged me when I came in. High prices with low quality items. Very basic. Leaves alot to be desired. I would skip out on this one.

The women at the counter was absolutely rude! My daughter is 18 months old and screamed when she had to wait. The women glared at my daughter and acted very annoyed. She then told me that there was a bench outside!! Sure let me leave my baby outside! Not children friendly at all! I love supporting local buisnesses ever again will I shop here!

Affordable resale items. Very good selection. Some locally made jewelry and other items (varies). Some antique items priced on the high end but nice items.

Most of their items are bought wholesale from Walmart blowouts and resold. The gal at the counter was very friendly.If you forgot your clothes and dont care then go here for some cheap items.

The store was playing rap music at the counter. Which is fine in some settings, but not in a thift store.

A super spot for clean gently-used clothing and appliances, books, etc. In Bayfield.
