From the reviews
We were told that this is the best thrift store in the region, and I can see why. It's a huge store and has a big selection of items to look over. Lots of parking as well, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop if you're thriftting or in the area.
This thrift store is a great size! Nice selection, well organized. Staff was super friendly! Thanks for the "Trees, Leaves, Flowers & Seeds" book ;)
I love this place! I stop in regularly to see what treasures I can find! The staff is absolutely wonderful!!
I love this thrift store! I bought a couch that priced down $10 from the 1st time I saw it. Then I went back into the store to get the love seat that priced down $10 as well & she gave me another $10 off with a coupon.
Selling or trading gear at Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store
Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Store. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
