  Not a review per se, but a heads up to anyone looking to sell their clothing here. Based upon a response by the store owner on a previous review (Harrisonburg location), the money you get from their buying process goes as follows: They estimate the retail price of the item and then subtract 70% of the retail value (now 30% of retail price) to get their discounted floor price. They then give you about 30% of that discounted value back. Basically, they will give you 9% of the retail value of your items. For example, if you brought in an item you paid $200 for, they would give you $18, if that. The example that the store owner (Harrisonburg location) gave is incorrect, being that they calculated that they sold their items in the store for 70% retail, not the 30% that they said was in their formula. Previous reviewers made it sound like they got even less than 9% on their clothing. Selling your clothes here may be quite the troublesome experience being that you could get less than 9% of what you paid, and they may not even take your clothing.
