Testimonials

On 10/7/2025 Madbkseller had this to say:
Even if I don’t really need anything specific I still have fun poking around at Encore. And I always find many things to bring home. Although very limited in their supply of clothes, they make up for it in the rest of their items. One small room has a few collectibles and , as they should be, are higher priced. Then you open the doors into the warehouse area. Just to hit the highlights you have the Holiday Section with, yes, every kind of holiday decoration, dinnerware, costume, you name it. A small section with medical equipment. An outdoor section with gardening tools. A huge shelf area with glasses, cups, mugs, plates, bowls and a variety of other kitchen items. There are tables full of pots, pans, bakeware, silverware, utensils and more. A huge area with games and puzzles. Framed art and pictures. Oh, and furniture. Tables, chairs (kitchen and front room), just a wide variety. Well, I’m sure I have left something out. Suffice it to say, if you enjoy garage sales and second hand stores you will love this place. I sure do!!! Testimonial written by Madbkseller on this site.
