I went in there once awhile ago. I needed a 50s era outfit for that very same evening. The staff was VERY helpful!! They showed me several pieces in my price range. I was stressed thinking about finding something that would work for the party that night--and the staff couldn't have been better.
I will for sure visit them again, and recommend this store to anyone interested in vintage wear!!!!!
Pros: they are AWESOME!
Cons: no free stuff. :(

I love shopping vintage, so I decided to stop at Tatters. I read some reviews of the shop which left me a little worried I wouldn't fit in because of the descriptions saying the store was for extreme rock and rollers and punks. But, after my shopping experience, I would say Tatters would appeal to many different kinds of people and their styles. Great selections and overall good prices. The employees were great- helpful and fun, singing along to the oldies playing. Don't worry if you're not a head banger because this place is for everyone looking for a great vintage find.
Pros: good prices, helpful staff, great selection, fun atmosphere
Cons: not much parking

This Ragstock is the best one I've been to! It was packed with unique clothing! Everything looked to be in decent shape and they had a large selection of new clothing as well. I even found brand new Chip and Pepper, True Religion, and Citizens of Humanity jeans for under $100! They have a huge selection of kimonos and vintage dresses. The employees are some of the friendliest in the city. Definitely cool, laid-back people who just want to help you out.
Pros: parking, service, selection

Uncle Hugo's is great for science fiction. I have visited and purchased many times over the years. They always seem to have the newest releases and have a very competitive price selecion. What I like most is that they have a very deep book archive which offers many hard-to-find titles. As a sci-fan 'geek' , I love Uncle Hugo's.

Incredibly comprehensive selection of materials, particularly arkham house and independent press horror books, the stuff that wouldn't be found at many of the major bookstore chains and elsewhere.

This place has very cheap books and they buy back old books you've read. I love being able to unload books that I'm not interested in re-reading. I thought the selection was a touch limited, considering their selection is based on what people bring in to sell. But, it's a great place and I highly recommend getting books there to save some money.

I love the concept of having a central store for buying and selling our prevously loved baby & kids items.
But in this case I don't think it works well. They pay practially nothing if you'd like to sell them things and they are very picky. Their used clothing is not well priced either.
For instance, My friend got 2 travel systems at a baby shower- you know- the stroller and car seat combos? Both brand new but no gift receipts. So she thought maybe she'd try to sell one here and buy some other baby things----- They offered her $20 for the BRAND NEW in box set worth ~$150. They are just not worth selling too.
I also wouldn't buy clothing there, as I usually find better deals on new clearance at target and department stores. I am not interested in paying $4 for a used t-shirt. But to be fair, on occasion, you can find a good deal. We bought our son his race-car toddler bed there very reasonably priced.
PROS: Nice concept
CONS: Overpriced, Picky

Greatest vintage store ever! Linda, Pat and Windy will always greet you with an enthusiastic smile. If your lucky Goody the Corner Store pooch will do a little kooky dance. Ask Linda for treats. Great selection leather, boots, incredible selection of outerwear from many periods. Check out the Hendrixs poster from the sixties on the north wall, just past all the vintage jewelry. Uniquely comfortable atmosphere, great music. well organized for so many cool finds, plan on spending some time here. I like it that a gal could bring in those cowboy boots the ex gave her and leave with fun shinny pretty things or go go boots. Great place to trade up or down. If your looking for hard to find vintage item and they don't have it stashed away they probably know how to find it.
Pros: ambience, service, location, any price can be haggled
Cons: to many boots and stuff I want

This store gets good brands in stock, but tends to price them too high. Quality is good - very rare to find flaws on purchased items but have occasionally found spots/holes on items on racks.
