A different way to thrift
Why I Started Rusty Pickins
Before Rusty Pickins, I spent years buying storage units and estates, and I kept finding the kind of inventory I rarely saw in traditional thrift stores: vintage pieces, electronics, small collectibles, odd little finds, and the kind of things that make you stop and dig a little deeper.
That experience shaped what I wanted Rusty Pickins to be. I wasn’t trying to create another traditional thrift store filled with the same categories and picked-over merchandise. I wanted a vintage-heavy, constantly changing mix of inventory and a shopping experience built around the hunt.
By sourcing from storage units, estates, and donations, Rusty Pickins stays unpredictable from week to week. Pair that with the all-you-can-carry concept, and the goal is simple: make thrifting more fun, more affordable, and more interesting, with the kind of finds people usually have to search antique malls, estate sales, and vendor booths to find.
Whatever Brings You In
Come for what you need. Stay for the hunt.
Some shoppers come for affordable necessities. Others come for unexpected treasures or simply enjoy seeing what they can uncover. Every visit offers another chance to find something worth carrying home.
