Finders Keepers

Fun place to waste an hour (and spend some money!). Can't remember a time I visited and didn't find something to buy. Today it was discount charging cables - one for iPhone and one for my Samsung - both together for $5.82, can't beat that!

I have been to this thrift store twice . My first visit there was uneventful , I purchased a bench, they helped me put it in the back of my jeep , no problem . On my second visit , I purchased a dresser, I thought it would fit in the back of my Jeep, no luck, it almost fit. They said they could hold the dresser for me for a week , give me a chance to make arrangements, to pick it up. They took my name and number , and gave me their number , they told me to call if I couldn't make arrangements, in that week's time. This was during the big snows we had the end of January , beginning of February, my husband an OTR trucker was stranded in Portland. When I realized my husband wouldn't make it home before the 7 days was up , I called the store explained my husband wouldn't make it home , we were new to the state , and didn't know anyone here, who could help. I asked the clerk if I could just get a refund , she told me no , they didn't refund on items they had held. I asked what are you going to do with it, she said they would put it back on the floor ,to sell it. They were going to double their profit on this item , I was going to lose my total investment, how is this right? When they told me they would hold the dresser for a week , they never mentioned if I didn't pick it up in a week , there would be no refund, and they would keep the dresser , and resell it . I could see keeping 10%-20% of my money for holding the item that week , and refunding the remainder, but not keeping all of it . I ended up getting on an Ottumwa FB page, and asked for help from a total strangers . I got on the page explained my situation , and thankfully a stranger helped me, actually a bunch of people responded . The man helping picked up the dresser, brought it to me in Richland , I did pay this stranger for his time and gas . I f I had not found help , I would have gone down there, picked up that dresser and sat it by the street , for someone to get for free, before I let Finder's Keepers double their money on it !!! The sad thing is I really liked this store , and as I said I am new to Iowa , we bought a huge home here , we didn't have nearly enough furniture for it , I would have made many more purchases from Finder's Keepers , but they have lost this customer !!! By their attitudes ,and their business practices , I am sure they could care less that I won't be back .

Always a great place to go to even just look around. Great people and great attitudes.

This has always had the best gifts to give to everyone I know, from teacups to a katana, I never fail to walk out with something in my hands.

I would not consider this a thrift store yes they had a lot of cool antique items but the prices were way too high they wanted like $70 for just a basic dresser and then it just went up from there they do have some nice stuff if you're looking for some unusual items and you got some money to spend but if you're looking for a thrift store in the true Spirit of thrift store price-wise this is not the place the staff was friendly and they did have a lot of stuff but just not my idea of a thrift store I can go buy a new dresser for $70 and this was just a basic dresser
