Methodist Thrift Store - Pagosa Springs, Colorado

It would be a fine thrift store except they don’t know what they’re doing pricing wise.
They think so they’re so smart by looking up items value online and then pricing it accordingly, with a data sheet attached.
You got it for free!! You’re not running an ebay reselling business. Price it reasonably and move on, no research necessary.
I’ve been to many thrift stores and this a first for me in this state.
One example is a used 10 year old helmet they determined is worth $50. It’s a used snowboard helmet!

Don't believe their posted prices. Books were posted as $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardcover. While at the checkout I was charged $2 each for Louis L'amour paperbacks, when I asked why I was told because he's so popular they charge more for his books. Also the employees are always in the back gossiping about other community members. Such a shame, it used to be a great store to shop at.

They have ok items in here but they are more expensive than a consignment store, and they put little tags on everything to tell you how much it’s worth online, I’ve never seen a thrift store do his, it’s super tacky and everything is so overpriced.
They got everything for free so how they justify charging such prices is strange, the store is also crowded with inventory, if they lowered their prices they would move a lot more stuff thru

Extremely nice thrift store with just about everything you could possibly imagine. Great service with helpful friendly staff. All clothing arranged in size order and the shelves are nicely displayed and organized. Highly recommend.

The first time I went in here (September2023), the people working (volunteers?) didn't even say hi, but the second time I went in (also September2023), the lady working (a different lady than the first time) was super friendly. She offered my elderly friend a seat when he seemed a little wobbly and even went to the back and got him a bottle of water.

The third time I went in here (May 2024), there were no workers/volunteers (?) in the front of the store. They were all in the back employees only area gossipping.

This store has a lot of nice things, but prices are kind of high. A lot of the items are more upscale. I don't know if they only put out the best things that are donated or what.

A lot of items also have tags on them saying how much you would pay if you bought the same item on Ebay.

I did get a nice purple shopping bag there.

Positive: A huge selection! Negative: The prices are expensive, especially on shoes. There are lots of signs comparing their prices to online prices. Not helpful. Please consider more appropriate thrift store pricing, especially for used shoes and clothing

It’s upsetting to see a thrift store that gets all of their items donated to them charging such a high price for things. Some of their prices were even over the price of the item if it were bought brand new.
We overheard the ladies who run it talking about how they could make people pay more for an item if they put tags that say how much they go for online.
Thrift shops are often the way that underprivileged people can afford necessities. Shops that price gouge the way this one has make it very difficult for people with lower income to shop. I would recommend going up the street to the humane society’s thrift if you want good prices and a great cause!

Nice place. I found two pair of REI hiking shorts. Great find along with a Columbia short sleeve shirt and Eddie Bauer t. Love it when I save money!
Went back again and scored a pair of Chico shorts and a Columbia short.
