Reviews of Crossroads Trading

Rachel Kelly

I came here in need of shoes other than platforms and emerged with 5 items including comfortable shoes AND platforms. I am very picky with fashion but Crossroads makes finding pieces seamless. Very friendly staff and lovely location. Prices are at a steal from retail value and are all in good shape/new.

Katie Oestmann

Really cute store and the staff were all very nice but it wasn't my favorite. The prices were a little high for a "thrift" store especially when you're seeing Shein (cheap mass produced fast fashion) on the racks. But I also saw some high end brands so it's really a spectrum. NOT size inclusive, the racks only went up to an XL, and they only had a couple racks of men's clothes so my boyfriend was immediately unimpressed.

Great selection of styles and sizes, I often find great accessories here. However, they definitely sell items that are torn or ripped without labelling them "as-is". It seems they try to hide certain tears and holes and sometimes sell them above what they're worth. Other than that, they do have an excellent selection.

This place is pretty expensive for a thrift store.... A bit disappointing for me while walking around the area just looking for the normal, cheap, & simple. They say it's because they pay for their clothes, so these prices remind me more of a buffalo exchange. I just don't think it fits the thrift store label. If you're looking for some typical portland trendy high priced fashion; go here.

Very nice staff. Decent items for all ages. Great place to buy and sell clothes.

Will Richards

Great for shopping if you’re not looking for anything specific or don’t want to spend a lot to be trendy. When selling, curating your load will help make sure you get more. The website says what they’re looking for and they’re pretty clear about what they take (and will gladly explain why they are not taking stuff).

Erich Johnson

There is always something new and creative to find in the piles of random donations at this thrift store

rachel Melrose

Out of all of the crossroads I have been to (nyc, chicago, Washington, California, Oregon) THIS IS THE BEST. The only location I’ve seen with a variety of sizes and style and prices. You can tell that the store manager knows what they’re doing as far as managing, buying, training and styling. This location is more out of the way for me than the SE location but I have never found more than 1 thing to purchase at any crossroads besides this one!!! As a buyer and a seller I am always so happy every time I stop by here. Definitely my favorite place to shop in person in Portland. I do wish there was more designer items like bags or wallets but I understand it’s based on what people bring in at the time! Love this place. 10/10

Great selection of second hand apparel at reasonable prices. Well organized sections offer stylish choices for men and women. Clean environment with multiple fitting rooms. The shoe selection surprised me and I purchased a pair of dark grey extra tall pf flyers with 12 rows of laces holes. Lots of compliments! Only $10! Thanks Crossroads!

Joseph S

Great, constantly changing selection and nice staff. Could use more small size men's items but that's not uncommon at resale stores.

Lucy Edwards

Really nice people, good prices paid for used items. They pay 1/3 of their intended resale price in cash. For Citizens of Humanity jeans I received 8$ per pair. For Sorel boots and Paul Green loafers I received 16$ per pair. Although that is about 1/10 of what I paid, I was happy to get some money (rather than the nothing I would have received from donating). One thing I liked was that they write your name down and text you when they are ready to buy your clothes, unlike some resale stores that make you wait (holding your clothes) in a long line. Tip- They don’t buy out of season clothes. So the summer dresses I brought in (tags still attached) were rejected.

Jacelyn Maddox

Took a few woman's and men's clothing in, they accepted about half of it. But they paid more than expected. It was a pretty quick process as well. One of the things I would of liked to see is the employees being more welcoming and helpful. Nobody said anything to me the whole time I was there except the girl working the selling section. Which isnt in the front, its around the corner. She had to yell over to me to help me. There were several male employees that were trying on shoes and looking at clothes. Also nowhere to sit and wait..But overall it was a good experience if youre going to sell items.

Don’t let the manager, who is obviously not a fan of the life that shes made for herself, deter you from finding an amazing deal on upscale clothing/accessories that might otherwise be out of your budget. Other then the manager, the staff are especially nice and helpful, almost as if their acutely aware (how could they not be) and have almost certainly themselves been the focus of her special brand of managerial expertise and witnessed first hand her less then steller customer service skills and want to make up for it. It seems as if the rest of the employees are, thankfully, a direct parallel to the manager. As far as the clothing/accessories offered here, I would say their offerings are geared towards the 16-35 demographic. Mostly major brands, 'fast fashion', mixed in with some vintage. Including: streetwear (stussy, Palace, The Hundreds, Obey etc.), athletic (Nike, Adidas, Puma, Champion etc.) skateboarding/snowboarding brands (Primitive, Van's, Burton, Nike sb, Grizzley, Volcom etc.) Also you'll find more conservative brands (Abercrombie, American Eagle, Armani Exchange, Gap, Levi) they also offer vintage clothing that brands and style vary on each piece. Also, available are accessories that usually include a wide selection of hats and beanies, belts, bags, purses, wallets, back packs, messenger bags, sunglasses, scarves, also a small section of jewelry and trinkets such as pins and buttons, stickers, patches etc. Their buying experience is laid back and a quick run down of it would be, they take all the clothing you bring in that your hoping to sell, while they let you know what their looking for and what condition they want the clothing to be in that would be interested in purchasing. Then they tell you that your free to look around the store and wait or they can take your phone number and notify you when they are done going through your items. When their done they return the clothing to you they decided they weren't interested in, sometimes with a short explanation on why they passed on them and then they inform you on how much they would like to offer you on the items they did want to purchase, the break down is they give you 30% of what they are going to list your items for in their store. Or they give you the option of turning that money into in store credit with the incentive for doing so being receiving instead 40% of their listing price for your items in credit instead of the 30% you'd receive in cash. You must have valid ID to complete this process. All in all I'd say if your younger or youngish and on a budget or would simply like to get alot more for your money regardless of how much of it you have to spend, and you like the wide selection of clothing offered here, you can make your dollar stretch alot further by stopping here to see if you can find a great deal on something you'd purchase for alot more else where or to find something to compliment your existing wardrobe at affordable prices. Most of the clothing here is in EUC or even New with or without tags. The shoes selection stands out with a good selection of new or almost new shoes, alot of times you can find sample shoes, hard to find exclusives especially in athletic shoes, you'll routinely find Jordan retros, KDs, Lebrons, Air Maxes, NMDs, Stan Smith etc. that are sometimes priced 3 or 4 times below their retail prices. I know this was long winded but hopefully it helps someone find a great deal and gives them an alternative to paying full price at the mall or another retail chain. As well as giving them a way to get things they want while having the money they spend go to support a local business. Get the same clothes as those stores, or alot of times better, for alot less!

You get some luck on the clothes, but if you're lookng at service that moves at a glacier pace, than this is your place. I've never seen such a sedated set of employees. Bazzar.

Alex In Wonderlands

Very expensive for used clothing. About 80% of their store is sizes XS to Medium. I had trouble spending my $25 gift card because barely anything fit my size 12 body. And honestly, it wasn't really my style of clothing. It was all designer brands in nice condition, but kinda ugly. They did sell new jewelry up at the front and it was nice, but expensive. I got a small unicorn patch for $10 and a small wristlet purse on sale for $18. I didn't try to sell to them, so I can't comment on that. All the employees were very nice and helpful, so no complaints there. They even stayed open 15 minutes late to let everyone in the store checkout and helped me pick out items that were cheap enough for my giftcard.

Have you guys gotten a new manager yet??? I used to frequent this place ALL the time, but my friends and I haven’t patroned the shop for a little over three months now because we simply can’t stand the manager. She is unprofessional, very rude with an immature personality and lacks the mature tact you would expect from a manager. I honestly don’t understand why she works in a clothing store. She evidently hates her job. She evidently hates questions about her job. And she evidently isn’t too keen on anything to do with customers- period.

Grace Margaret

Fun and cute place! Lots of options but not too overwhelming. I would definitely go back!

Layla Palmer

The staff were very friendly and explained the whole buying process. I find their selection much more suited to young professionals and slightly higher quality than Buffalo Exchange. They still have a mix of very trendy, but have more JCrew, Anthro, Theory, etc. Overall pleased with the selling and buying experience, would recommend.

Melody Jacinto

Generally pretty good stuff to choose from. Sometimes they seem to have a down cycle where the quality isn't as amazing. For example, one month they will have lots of designer jeans, and the next month its Levis and stuff from H&M. H&M is already cheap enough, why buy it second hand?

Quynn Tidwell

Macy P helped us out and was super sweet and friendly. Last time I visited a (different) crossroads they missed a security tag I couldn't remove myself so she took care of me with that and was a lot of fun to have check us out at the of the visit.

Kaitlin Gould

I popped in and had the best shopping haul of my life. Found so many things from great brands!

Jordan H

Decent men's selection but the sizing! Oh boy.. a disorganized mess. Things in the wrong sections, things tagged as a different size than they are.. everyone was very nice but the men's section needs major TLC <3

Kevin Miller

Sold clothes here and the staff was extremely friendly. Plus, they paid a great price for everything! Ended up trading everything in for new clothes and shoes. Win-win.

athina f

Loved the wide selection, sizing and quality of clothes

Triska

The selection is okay. On rare occasions it is amazing but it really ebbs and flows. The selling process is longer than other places. I've usually spent 20-30 minutes in/out.

Lola Helprin

This place is amazing! I got a NEW pair of Lulu lemons for sixteen dollars! They were originally 108$

Anna Norman

I really love this place. They tend to get really high end items and they price them at a great point to where they're affordable and yet the seller is still making money. And they are always really, really nice!

Hayden Gardner

I got many cloths for less then I would else where and they had a nice variety

Gia J

Nice people for the most part and nice stuff
