Thrift stores

Donation-based shops, most run by charities such as Goodwill, The Salvation Army, and St. Vincent de Paul, plus church and hospice thrifts. Lowest prices, fastest-changing stock, and the money funds a mission.

Secondhand stores

Independent resale shops that buy or take in used goods and price them to move. Often a single owner with a point of view, which makes the good ones worth a detour.

Consignment shops

Sell on behalf of the owner and split the price, so everything is screened for condition and leans current and brand-name. Higher prices than thrift, far fewer misses.

Vintage stores

Curated by era and style rather than filled by donation. Staff know their stock, pieces are priced for what they are, and a slow look is rewarded.

Antique stores and malls

Priced by research, age, and provenance. Fewer accidental bargains, far more depth per shelf, and multi-dealer malls put dozens of collections under one roof.

Flea markets

Dozens to hundreds of independent vendors on set days, indoors or out. Cash and haggling are still the norm; the schedule is the thing to plan around.
