Can't rate Scrap Exchange highly enough! If you're looking for something and you can't find it, chances are the Scrap Exchange has it! We've gotten such good deals on final products, as well as components for projects we're working on. The staff and volunteers are friendly and always put out new stuff. Be sure to check out the Scrap Exchange thrift store that's in the same shopping center. Just follow the yellow brick road until you get there!

Awesome!! Friendly and helpful staff. Been going once a month for several months now and I always leave with my car packed. Some many things to stir your creativity and their new thrift store is great too. Never know what you will find and prices are reasonable for the most part. Highly recommend it if you think outside the box when creating crafts.

About as much as can be hoped for in a second hand store. Has a wide variety of items ranging from clothes, to stuffed animals, to power strips, to posters Basically you name it, they have it.
Also a good place to get art supplies for cheap, if you don't want to splurge at A.C. Moore or some other crafts store.
They also have staff that tells you what you need to know, like how in a certain area of the store, you can use different sizes of red bags for different prices. You get, say, a medium sized bag for $5, then you can stuff it full of things and it'll still be $5. You get to keep the bag, too!
There's a water fountain if you get thirsty from going around everywhere, and bathrooms too.
The best part of it, in my opinion?
It has the thing from the planetarium where you put a coin into a slot, and it rolls down in circles and spirals all the way to the bottom, where it drops into a hole.
Great place to kill time in general.

Awesome stuff to upcycle. A playground for imaginative and creative minds. A treasure trove of raw materials of all kinds. Always something new.

For crafters on any level, I think this is a great place. We had our first experience today. Sure, it's overwhelming. There's lots to choose from and lots to find. It's a great place that you can spend hours in looking at all the nostalgic items and then some. The employees are ace. One employee took the time to give us a full tour and the skinny as to how things work, because it is not intuitive for newbies. We did encounter some rude customers in the "make it yourself" area, so we left quickly. We were told there were no groups, so we decided to sit at a table only to have a group of older women scold us and ask for items back. Because it's not intuitive and we were told we could grab anything in that area, we did just that. Perhaps the employees can make things more clear for newbies to eliminate these sorts of situations? At least, newbies beware that this CAN happen. Other than that, this is a great place to be!

This place is a dream come true for crafty and creative types. It's like I found the stashbuster/yard sale of a thousand creators all at once. It's overwhelming in the best way, I want everything but have to pace myself. I already have plans to go back and do a more thorough search when I have more time. Love it!

Antique store prices at a JUNK store?!?!?

I was pretty turned off when finding some really nice vintage items at DOUBLE their current selling prices on eBay and other sites.This makes no sense to me, as even dickering down to half the cost would leave no meat on the bone for a reseller..The other stuff is good for crafty people who live in the city, with no other access to scrap materialsNot in the best neighborhood.. Probably won't go back for a while.

This is a great place for those of us who hoard craft supplies! It's also a great place for those of us who like funky garden structures. Or perhaps you like to collect test tubes and Bunsen burners. Collages made out of old photographs other people have thrown away? There is something here for everyone, I assure you. A great place to spend a morning or an afternoon. Spend a little money! Create something interesting!

This is a great place to pick up crafting materials, and shop for all sorts of odds and ends. I tend to go there for the music and movies, but they have books, building materials, antiques, fabric, electronics, everything. I'm not too fond of the location. The staff are friendly.

Durham's premier place for recycled stuff to power the imagination. They also offer classes in sewing, knitting and many other skills. I rarely escape without something unexpected. Recent purchases: a slightly used bicycle seat for $2, an ancient National Geographic magazine for $1, a neat basket for gathering mushrooms or storing paper for $3.
